I loved absolutely everything about Shay. What a wonderful discovery. I'm looking forward to coming back.
Lara
incredible experience, our wait staff was so kind, they found out it was my birthday & gave us free birthday shots 🥹 food was incredible & the music was great. I wish we tried one of the sweet options such as the pancakes or crepes.

My friends & I were visiting the area for a birthday brunch & this place did not disappoint. The ambiance is so aesthetically pleasing & beautiful. The staff were pleasant, attentive & funny. The music was one of the best parts, great playlist. I got the breakfast sandwich & my friends got the hachis makanek & the omelette soujouk. Everything tasted so fresh & flavorful. The potatoes were crisp, the halloumi was so tasty, & the chai lattes were great (tasted more like espresso than chai to me, however, I did not mind it). I will definitely plan to visit when I am in the area again.

Overpriced & little portions, we were at a social event so I didn't pick the restaurant.
Mediterranean menu with no special theme.
I've have taste same type of dishes at a restaurant on Jean talon & way more affordable & more generous portions.
We were a table of six & the bill was 100$/ person even when splitting the order.
Also their interact machine was not compatible with my card or bank. I had terrible time trying to pay, it took forever I had to try several times with my credit card & the waiter insist I should pay with debit which was rude since the problem was their machine.
Service was decent, staff was currently filling water, removing plates & delivering the food. The atmosphere was casual. However, I Don't Recommend it & I Won't be Going Back.

I had to get on here & give a review because this restaurant did not disappoint in any criteria!! I came here for brunch with my dad & ordered the Shakshuka (delicious & portion size is amazing) the Salmon dish was so fresh, & the Figs were juicy & sweet. Everything was spot on. Ambiance? 10/10, music choice? 10/10 (Frank Ocean, Sade, it doesn't get better) & the SERVICE is what makes this place memorable. Sean gave us shots on the house, Anthony made us laugh & Sabrina gave us the Dubai Chocolate French toasts on the house 🥹 She's a sweetheart btw, def ask for her when you're here! They're all so sweet & they made my father's trip to Montreal so much more special by treating him with so much warmth & love ✨ Customer service makes all the big difference when it comes to a restaurant experience so I highly recommend this place to everyone 💕
Will def come back & bring my mom next time. Thank you guys!!

J'ai été servi par Juliette, & honnêtement, elle a été exceptionnelle du début à la fin. Souriante, attentionnée & très professionnelle, elle s'est assurée que tout se passe parfaitement pendant le repas. Elle connaît bien le menu & donne d'excellents conseils selon les goûts de chacun. Son attitude positive & son sens du service font toute la différence - on se sent vraiment bien accueilli.
Merci encore Juliette pour ton super service, tu rends l'expérience encore meilleure

I got one of the greatest service
Great attitude, amazing vibe & his recommendations were spot on.
The atmosphere is one of the best in Mtl by far!
& don't get me started with the food! Worth every single penny.
I can say with confidence that this is the spot to go have a nice cocktail & great food.
