I don't understand how anyone can give this restaurant a bad review. The food is incredible, the presentation is eye catching & the service & care is attentive & helpful. We had one of the best dinners there during the 2026 Montreal GP. Despite how busy the restaurant was, the staff spent the time necessary to ensure we were cared for. They recommended dishes that were spot on. Thank you Julian & Paulina for a truly exceptional experience. We will be back on our next trip to Montreal. We highly recommend Shay.

Absolutely fantastic experience every time! The food is consistently amazing-fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. The service is equally outstanding, with a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

A special mention to Aboudi, who is always a pleasure to deal with. Professional, attentive, & genuinely caring, he goes above & beyond to ensure every visit is enjoyable. It's rare to find such excellent food & service all in one place. Highly recommend!

We are foodies who frequently visit Montreal to dine. Shay was a wonderful find in Griffintown. The restaurant specializes in Lebanese dishes with influences from other Middle Eastern & Mediterranean cuisines. Every course we ordered from the mezza dips to dessert was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the Armenian kebab which was tender & tasty, so satisfying. We sat at the bar of this classy restaurant & were glad we did. Gaspard, our waiter/bartender, was a charm. He explained all the dishes & made spot on suggestions. He was attentive but not overly so. Shay offers a winning combination of delicious food & a welcoming vibe.

What an incredible experience! The atmosphere is so beautiful, with such class, but yet not pretentious. The service was impeccable, the food was insane delicious!! Lots of gluten free options. I would highly recommend going to this place! We were a group for the dinner menu, but I cannot wait to try the brunch menu next time. An absolute true gem✨?

We visited Shay for a birthday brunch & had an exceptional experience. The ambiance was lively & inviting, & the brunch menu did not disappoint.
What truly stood out was the outstanding service from our waiter, Driss. He was warm, attentive, & engaging, ensuring our table was well taken care of at all times. His service added such a memorable touch to our celebration.

Highly recommend for brunch!

I had such an amazing experience at Shay Restaurant! We were a group of 6 girls, & from the moment we walked in until the very last minute we left, the service was absolutely exceptional.

The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, & genuinely welcoming. Even though we stayed for quite a while, they never rushed us & continued to take care of us with the same positive energy the entire time. That level of hospitality really stood out.

Everything was perfect-from the atmosphere to the food & overall vibe. You can really tell they care about their customers & the experience they provide.

Definitely one of the best service experiences I've had. Highly recommend this place, especially if you're going with a group. We'll for sure be coming back! ✨
