The baklava pancakes were amazing. The service was awful. I ordered a coffee from 3 different employee, they still didn't bring the right one ? It was the smallest coffee & half of it was in the little plate underneath. They took forever to serve us as well, the good thing is that we were not in a rush. They messed up with our checks

The hype around this restaurant is real! I definitely think it's worth every penny. Not a cheap eat by all means, but absolutely worth the experience. I love the twist they put on Lebanese Classics, as well as their unique menu items. If I could recommend one thing, it is their baklava pancakes! I could not finish it if my life depended on it, but I am so glad I tried it. The staff was also attentive & present. I would definitely recommend this brunch spot to anyone looking for something new & unique!

Overall it is a great place but definitely overrated. I ordered a Shay chai & at first it tasted like a glass of milk. Definitely not worth $10. There was no shot of espresso, chai or caramel mouse as claimed on the menu but when I asked the server to add a bit more chai to it, they remade the drink for me without any issues or without me having to ask for a new drink. The food was delicious & not overly expensive for brunch. We had the Shawarma Benedict, soujouk omelette & the baklava pancakes. The shawarma benedict was amazing, highly recommend & the rest of the dishes were great too. We went on a Saturday at noon & the place is packed, a bit loud as it is anywhere for brunch. I enjoyed it but I've also been to other brunch places that have better coffee/drinks & delicious food!

Ma récente expérience de brunch chez Shay à Montréal a été vraiment satisfaisante ! Leur menu propose une variété de plats brunch alléchants qui ont su combler nos attentes. Les plats étaient bien préparés & délicieux. j'ai particulièrement aimé le Saumon Gravlax Bénédictine, Shawarma Bénédictine & le Baklava Pancakes à tomber par terre.

Food was disappointing. The shawarma eggs Benedict was very bland & tasteless. & the baklava pancakes were dry & way too sweet. The cream that was on top has a strange pasty & gummy texture that was very unpleasant.

The food visually looks appealing but the taste & flavors are lacking. Was very disappointed as the menu for brunch was so innovative.

The portions are on the smaller side & I would not recommend the avocado toast (there wasn't much avocado on the bread) but otherwise their breakfast/brunch dishes are unique & flavorful! The best thing on their menu is the Baklava Pancakes, don't leave without trying them!

We had the gravlax appetizer, shakshouka & baklava pancakes. Amazing combination but... The gravlax appetizer was a bit underwhelming. The gravlax by itself was only ok. Very great texture but the seasoning & taste falls a bit flat. Caviar is only ok. I love pistachios & I get the use of pistachio to stay in theme with the restaurant's origin but they add too much crunch in your mouth instead of crispyness. Clunky in mouth. I would do without pistachio but agree with the idea of crispyness so would welcome an alternative. Albeit, the combination labneh, gravlax & cavior is good. It is a fresh app & very gentle for the palate in prep for what comes next. The shakshouka is amazing! After the gentleness of the gravlax, each bite of the shakahouka is like an atomic bomb of flavour in mouth. Super happy. Strong & bold. Spicy. You get the idea. The egg is perfect. Falls apart as soon as it touches the tonge. Delish. The baklava pancakes are ok but not sure where the baklava actually is besides being a garnish & topping? The pancakes are THICK-stick-to-your-palate kind of soft. So if you do not like that then be warned. For a fusion place like Shay I expected a bit more transformation to food (labneh infused with something? Baklava more than just a garnish?) but overall, a GOOD brunch place. I would go back for the shakshouka alone & the boozy coffees.

My friends & I went for brunch this morning & we booked in advance. The restaurant had a nice ambiance, & the food was tasty. However, the food arrived at the table cold & I asked the waitress to return all the meals & serve hot. We liked the food presentation, & we ordered Baklava Pancakes, & Shawarma & Eggs Benedict. Overall, I found the food tasty, delicious aside from the fact that The lamb in the Shawarma & Eggs benedict didn't smell good.

This is a great brunch spot! Probably the best brunch I’ve had in Montreal, the I think the best eggs Benedict I’ve had in my life.

- the Shawarma eggs Benedict is a MUST
- the Shakshouka is very very good & fresh & on the lighter side
- the hash (which is tater tot’s with an egg, sausage, & mint sauce) is very heavy. I’d say it’s more of a sharing dish.
- The baklava pancakes are honestly too sweet & the pancake texture isn’t amazing. We shared it 4 ways as a dessert.
- coffee is great

Definitely a more “fancy” atmosphere.

The service was great.
