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.
The food was fantastic! I was blown away by the flavours. We all shared our plates & all of them were amazing. The atmosphere is cozy & the staff is very welcoming. I would highly recommend :)
Impeccable tout était parfait!
Le service par Mina , la nourriture incroyable, l'ambiance, l'accueil, la bienveillance.
Nous sommes vraiment très très satisfaits,
Je recommande vivement de vivre cette expérience à tout le monde.
Fantastic & classy restaurant!! The menu items were quite diverse & creative. We found out there is an eclectic mix of Lebanese, Armenian, & Italian here but you could sense the sophisticated modern twist as well. Portions were large for a fancy restaurant. Lovely cocktails as well. Restaurant is perfectly situated for a meal before going to the Belle Center or just enjoying a nice part of downtown. We were visiting from Portland, Oregon

Food was great. Server was also amazing. However the overall experience & prices were anything but great. Restaurant had a weird stench. Food was way too overpriced for how small the servings were. & so many flies inside the restaurant, despite it being cold.
Great ambiance! However, the price point is steep & the tastefulness of the meals don't always match. The tuna tartare was delicious, so was the beet salad with labneh. The grilled brocoli were absolutely awful. Every bite was a mouthful of oil. I took it to go cause we couldn't finish it. When I tried to eat it again, i wrung the oil & there was at least 1 teaspoon of oil per brocoli. The chicken in the shish taouk tasted like gas, & the hummus in the hummus & mushroom plate wasnt very tasty & lacked a cream texture. The drinks were just okay - I expected more from the drunken sultan: for 23$, it was a very amateurish drink & the ingredients that should make it a standout such as saffran were not noticeable at all & overtaken by a generic sweet taste. The meal ended up costing 300$ & I dont think it was worth it.
My friends & I reserved a late brunch this past Saturday & were greeted with a warm smile & welcome by Talia. She told me on arrival that she had noted my request to be seated away from the front door, & not close to any serving areas, & said that she had taken the liberty of reserving a lovely booth for us & pointed it out. We were ecstatic as the place was jumping & people were pouring in, & we were a few minutes early. Talia suggested we have a seat at the bar if we'd like a cocktail in the mean time, & we did so. Once at the bar we were told we would get an even better table, a boott at the front window which was just perfect! We even had a little heater blasting hot air as it was frigid still out. Later the manager, Olivier came over to check on us to see if we were happy with everything, the service, the table, the meals? Everything was just spot on! The meal (benedict with lamb & hollandaise) was superb, our drinks were frothy & strong & our dessert of Baklava Pancakes was to die for, ambience just warm without music blaring either, & they happened to play a favorite piece of music of mine :) I normally don't write reviews but everybody was so welcoming & the food well worth it that I couldn't resist. If you're an out of towner, this is just a treat to have such delicious & beautiful food served in your Montreal assiette! Enjoy. You must go, & reserve ahead!
Trop cher pour ce que c'est !
