If you’re fortunate enough to have experienced a meal in the Middle East, you know all about their warmth, ambiance and extravagance. Whether it’s on a terrace accompanied by an afternoon tea, or sipping Arak in the evening, the “joie de vivre” can’t be missed.

Having successfully recreated the magic, our chef Joe Awad and his team have put together a menu featuring traditional flavours reimagined with a modern flare.

Our friendly and attentive staff will make you feel as though you’ve walked through the fabric of time to the other side of the world. Prepare your tastebuds, they’re in for an amazing experience!

Been in love with this place for the last 4 years. Their brunch is amazing & their dinner is even better. They changed the brunch card over the years & made desserts smaller. Since no one was ever able to finish them. But the quality is still there & that's all that matters.

Went to Shay with me & my boyfriend for brunch & had a really good time. The food was amazing so was the general ambiance. We aren't from Montreal & our waitress Gaby was super helpful the entire time & even gave us a list of things to do in the city while we're here !
