We celebrated a birthday at Shay & the service was amazing. Thank you !
The music is a bit loud in my opinion because we were a group of friends trying to talk to each other on top of the others around us & the music. But the meals were great nonetheless. Definitely a great place for brunch in Montreal!

We were greeted with friendly smiles. We had a delicious brunch. The food presentation was great & we shared both meals. We had the Schwarma Benedict & the Falafel latkas with gravelox. I had a delicious matcha latte & my friend had a Spanish coffee😋👌.

J'ai essayer leur nouveau croissant à l'avocat & je suis sans mot tellement il est bon bien sûr je ne pouvais pas partir sans manger les incroyables baklava pancake. Ceci n'était pas la première fois que je venais au Shay & c'est loin d'être la dernière. Vraiment le meilleure brunch spot in Montréal.

le rapport qualité prix est très désagréablement surprenant quand on voit la quantité de plats servis & alors la qualité…
la musique constante à un volume élevé au point où il faut crier pour s'entendre à longueur de temps & on ne s'entend même pas parler finalement, évidemment…rend l'atmosphère lourde & pesante. un restaurant qui mise sur « l'instagramable » mais la satisfaction gustative n'y est pas.
merci toutefois au service de Dominique !

La nourriture est incroyable, que ce soit pour le déjeuner ou le souper. Le service est vraiment sympa aussi. Je recommande à 100%.
Le seul bémol est le dépôt par carte de crédit pour réserver. Je comprends le principe mais c'est un peu achalant en cas d'imprévu, 24h d'avance c'est limité pour annuler.

Brought my girlfriend here for her birthday. Huge mistakes. Our service was terrible, constantly forgetting to bring drinks & water. Brought out half of our starters then main dishes, then the other half of our starters. & the chicken, good god, literally sucked the moisture out of my mouth. I had to wash every bite down with water or I would have choked on it. The lamb was alright though.

Nous sommes venu bruncher hier, malgré le délais de la nourriture (qui était toutefois excellente), Sabrina a su rendre notre expérience agréable par son service exceptionnel. Chapeau à elle! Nous y reviendrons assurément.
