Food was contemporary, exceptionally good, they hit the note on all traditional Mediterranean dish. Decor, vibe, patrons very tired, dated, tawdry.
Been there, done that, no need to go back.

Believe all the good things you've heard about Shay. They're all true. I went for brunch with two girlfriends...we LOVE good food. I'm vegetarian & was thrilled to see how many meat-free options were not just available but so incredibly satisfying. We shared the hummus (so silky smooth!), muhammara, the mushroom benny (my fave), falafel waffle & the nutella french toast. Everything from the food to the service to the ambiance was 10/10. Will be visiting again for sure! What a gem.

SHAY has become one of my favourite go-to spots whenever I'm in Montreal. The menu offers plenty of diverse options, & every single dish I've tried has been exceptionally tasty. I highly recommend the Shawarma Hummus & the Fattoush salad - both are must-tries. Their brunch menu is also fantastic, offering great variety & flavour. On top of the amazing food, the staff are always extremely professional & welcoming, making every visit a pleasure.

Absolutely amazing!
Highly recommended - every dish was packed with flavor. We were a group of six & enjoyed a shared-style meal, which let us try a bit of everything. The lamb chops were the standout for me - perfectly cooked & incredibly tasty. The service was warm, friendly, & impressively fast. A wonderful experience from start to finish!

Can't wait to try the brunch!!!!!

Equal parts amazing & wonderful. Some say that would be the definition of lovely. I say it's the definition of love. Our servers Laurence & Sabrina made me feel like a Greek Olive fed God! If you're reading this review, & you don't eat here (& drink), it's you that's the problem. Not that there's a problem. As a matter of fact, this place is the solution!!!

From start to finish, our experience at Shay Griffin Town was nothing short of exceptional. The ambiance is stunning-modern, stylish, & perfectly curated for a memorable stay. But what truly sets this place apart is the service.

Stephen, the manager, goes above & beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. His professionalism & warmth made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Oliver, our host, was equally incredible-attentive, friendly, & always a step ahead in making sure we had everything we needed.

Whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway or a vibrant city stay, Shay Griffin Town is the perfect choice. Thanks to Stephen & Oliver, we'll absolutely be coming back!

Très bon & bonne ambiance. Plusieurs choix de cocktails & mocktails. Portions très petites pour le prix par contre, mais ça va avec le type de restaurant. Plusieurs options végétariennes dont un plat d'aubergines avec impossible meat qui était délicieux.
