SHAY earns high praise for its vibrant atmosphere, flavorful modern Lebanese cuisine, and consistently attentive service, with guests noting generous portions and standout items like mezze dips and lamb dishes, shakshuka and baklava pancakes; brunch shines with creative twists such as shawarma eggs Benedict and labneh, while cocktails and a lively DJ vibe add to the welcoming, upbeat experience and make many say they will definitely return.
Delicious food & excellent service. Our waitress, Mina gave us great suggestions which we took & enjoyed.
Very nice ambience. Thank you for a great evening.

Delicious Lebanese food, beautifully presented in a lovely neighbourhood setting. Staff very gracious. Overhall had a great experience & I'll definitely be back.
Peu importe les plats que nous commandons, nous sommes toujours impressionnés avec la présentation, le goût, le service. Tout est toujours impeccable!
C'est le restaurant que nous préférons dans le quartier car on sait que l'on ne sera jamais déçu
The food was delicious as was the service. The only complaint is the small portions of food. $36 for 3 cubes of chicken is exorbitant. As well we couldn't switch fries for the potatoes. Unfortunately we probably will not return despite the good food.

Phenomenal food coupled with an amazing wine selection, topped with the best ambience in Montreal. Impeccable service from Olivier & his team, this is the place for an amazing time in Montreal.
My experience was amazing . My girlfriend has nut allergies but our server Peter made sure to accommodate us !! We are still raving about the drink "Habibi Rita".
The tuna tartare was out of this world ... all this to say I highly recommend & I cannot wait to be back !
Had high expectations going in, & the food was good but nothing outstanding, I think this is a great vibes spot.
Mouhammara dip was good, nice & flavourful & spicy, but the pita bread tasted plain, cold & store-bought.
Brussels were solid, good combo of pomegranate & almonds.
Lamb kebab was overly salty & not all that spiced or unique in flavour, good with the potatoes. The accompanying tomatoes & onions were pretty depressing.
I used to love this place, specially for dinner but brunch also used to be good. Last time I went though, brunch was very bad... the mimosas were done with juice from a box... & the dishes were not great at all, im very disappointed because I used to love it. It will take me some time to get over that brunch to go back for dinner but never doing brunch again
