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 and 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

Got the group menu: salmon gravlax, hummus, babaganouj, toast with labneh, potatoes, benedictine shawarma, shakshouka, waffle and fried taouk, crêpe baklava. Everything was visually stunning and tasted on point. Definitely go hungry because portions are generous!
A group of us came here for brunch after seeing all the good reviews, we had the eggs Benedict, lamb Reuben and chicken and waffles. While the food was good, I found it odd that we didn’t get any sides with our mains, especially for the price. Usually brunch places give potatoes or something on the side but the eggs benny come with nothing. Overall, the chicken and waffles were the best choice, fried very well with a nice sauce. Also they were playing club music on a Saturday afternoon which seemed like an odd choice. Overall not a bad choice but not the greatest brunch place in Montreal for sure.
We drove from Ottawa to try this restaurant because someone recommended it on social media. It did not disappoint. The manager was so pleasant and amazing. All the staff were extremely nice and made us feel like we were the only ones there (even though it was packed). I definitely recommend making a reservation! The food speaks for itself (view photos). Everything was delicious! We went for brunch and now we can't wait to go back for dinner! Highly recommend.
We went for brunch and although it was a very packed day at the restaurant, the staff was on its feet and took great care of all the customers. We started with regular coffee and orange juice and then moved to the main course. I had Shakshouka while my partner had the Lamb shawarma eggs Benedict and it was beyond delicious and so filling ! We loved the food and cannot wait to come back and try other items on the menu. Highly recommend this 10/10 restaurant for a hangout with friends
The were a little issue at our arrival, they didn’t have our reservation even though we did talk to a hostess on the phone a week prior, we showed proof of our claim and after 15 minutes they finally told us they can arrange something, but that we only had an hour and a half to eat and enjoy our drinks so that was a bummer. They tried to make it up to us with shots which was appreciated. We were just sad because we wanted to enjoy our girls brunch properly. It was our first time too. But on to the positive stuff, food was amazing, absolutely delicious. We loved everything and they had a lot of variety.
So the best sign that you chose the right restaurant is a crowd waiting outside in the snow before opening… and that’s exactly what happened when we booked “Shay” during our last visit to Montreal. This place is so worth all the hype. The food was absolutely delicious, the service impeccable (we felt like we were just hanging with friends) and the cocktail tree was worth every penny. We are hooked and will be making this our staple for future visits. Damien, our server, was a delight with incredible energy that completely added to our positive experience. Check this place out!
