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.

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!
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.
Everything was amazing about this restaurant. From the service & friendly staff to the incredible brunch food. We ordered & shared the shishtaouk chicken & waffles as well as the baklava pancakes. The chicken was so moist, delicious & not greasy at all. The waffles were light & fluffy. The baklava pancakes were amazing also light & fluffy & that topping was super delicious. Fresh orange juice & mimosa rounded out our brunch. This is now one of my two favourite brunch places in the city. They have a lot of staff & they seamlessly work like a well oiled machine. Food is fast to come out even with a full dining room. & they never make you feel rushed. Also seating is done well so you never feel like you are squished in. We were very impressed & highly recommend this place. Make sure to have a reservation as they unfortunately had to decline walk ins.

Magnifique! Nourriture super savoureuse, cocktail incroyable (le drunken sultan) & service impeccable. J'y retourne! Peut-être tamiser un peu les lumières, même si la déco est top!
Tout était parfait (service, ambiance, décor, cocktail, nourriture) & en tout respect de mes demandes spéciales pour le 21e anniversaire de notre fille ! Un peu dispendieux, mais ça vaut l'expérience...
