“ This place has a lot of personality for a brunch place. They have lots of choices, I havent tried dinner yet but brunch was a hit! I would definitely go back, especially for their nutella french toast. I really enjoyed the fatoush salad and you cant go wrong with their hummus as well. The service was ok they seemed a little busy so i think they were a bit overwhelmed. ”
“ Absolutely amazing! Highly recommended — every dish was packed with flavor. We were a group of six and enjoyed a shared-style meal, which let us try a bit of everything. The lamb chops were the standout for me — perfectly cooked and incredibly tasty. The service was warm, friendly, and impressively fast. A wonderful experience from start to finish! Can’t wait to try the brunch!!!!! ”

“ We celebrated a birthday at Shay and the service was amazing. Thank you ! The music is a bit loud in my opinion because we were a group of friends trying to talk to each other on top of the others around us and the music. But the meals were great nonetheless. Definitely a great place for brunch in Montreal! ”
“ Amazing and fresh food full a flavor and vibrant of color. For every taste, it is impossible not to like everything on the menu. Their drinks are also original and so tasty!! Also their covered patio is beautiful and would be adorable for an event like a bachelorette or a babyshower. ”
“ We went for a birthday party with a large group for brunch to this restaurant. I have to say it was wonderful! The quality is exceptional and the servings were more than generous. I was pleasantly surprised because although it was middle eastern dishes that I am used to having at home, all the dishes were refined and perfectly made and presented with the utmost care. They used fresh produce and it showed in the taste, the way it looked. It was a touch of Lebanese, Syrian, armenian and North American. I would recommend this place 100% ! And the service.... Just perfect ! ”
“ Delicious food at unbeatable prices! I had the chance to try the brunch menu, and it was a total hit—perfectly balanced flavors, generous portions, and beautiful presentation. The warm ambiance and attentive service made the experience even better. I can’t wait to come back and try the dinner menu, which looks just as tempting. A must-visit spot! ”
“ I liked SHAY! Lamb kebab was awesome. Armenian kebab could be a little bit more juicy but all in all everything was great! Would be here again! ”
