I read an article on MTL blog about Montréal's great Lebanese brunch restaurant; & it was very positive & I was very intrigued. Brunch is one of my favorite meals to have with my sister & friends. I went to Shay which I made reservations for a week ago. The restaurant is big, spacious & beautiful. The service initially was over the top, the waiter came by every two minutes, that's how I felt. Then by the end, when I wanted to order coffee & tea, & ask for the bill, it was hard to get the attention of our waiter. Food & drink wise; the presentation was lovely. I would not say that it was the best brunch ever because the taste wasn't beyond amazing. In the end, the tea was presented by the Turkish tea set, it was mesmerizing. I would definitely recommend for everyone to try the Lebanese brunch spot.

Everything was delicious & the space is beautiful. The lamb chops & hummus with mushrooms are highly recommended. The cocktail list is very creative. The only downside was that the food arrived so fast & the servers checked in so frequently that it felt very rushed. Less than halfway through our seating window we were surprised to be finished. But it was a delicious meal.
