About

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.

Having successfully recreated the magic, our chef Joe Awad and his team have put together a menu featuring traditional flavours reimagined with a modern flare.

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!

We booked the reservation 3 weeks in advance, made a note in the reservation that we are from out of town & it was a special occasion, they sat us in a cramped corner next to the dish pit, so it was very loud with crashing dishes through our meal. The waitress was nice but recommended a ton of food even though there was just 2 of us, enough food for at least 6 ppl.
The food may have been good but trying to eat that much was a horrible experience. We ordered champagne which was nice. With tip our meal was 300.00$ for 2 ppl. Which was too much for a sub par dining experience. We will not be back, & we cannot recommend Shay .
Thank you

Excellent service received from our server. Great suggestions for food! Our 12 years old son wanted a Shirley Temple & our server was super accommodating. He was friendly & funny. The food was amazing! Would definitely recommend to anyone & we will return.

CJA IT's & presentation are great but the shush taouk chicken was dry (we had 2 orders & both same) & the octopus & soujouk dish had very little octopus. At that price I would expect more.
Other than that all was great but would not order those dishes again

Shay does not disappoint. It is one of a kind. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like valued customers even though it was our first visit. Everything at Shay is top notch. The food & service were extraordinary. The flavours were perfectly combined & each dish was fresh & beautifully plated. 100% recommend. An outstanding restaurant in Montreal. ps Try the Brussels sprouts for a lovely surprise, even if you loathe them.
