super pricy for nothing! bad and inaccurate service
Fresh fish and seafood we could choose. We chose a sea breem and octopus and had both grilled. We also had shrimp with garlic.. Beyond delicious and so sweet!!!! We also had their wedge seasoned fries and a salad…. Highly recommend this restaurant if near St. Joseph’s oratory!

Poissonnerie & Restaurant Rayan in Montréal offers delicious seafood dishes cooked to perfection. The restaurant is also a small fresh fish and seafood market, providing customers with high-quality products. Visitors appreciate the variety of Middle Eastern-style meals available for family supper, with options for different rice styles and cooking methods. Guests can choose to dine in or take their orders home and prepare them as they like, and the staff is always friendly, attentive, and eager to listen to customer preferences. Highlights include sea bass, fried calamari, queue d'homard, saumon, crevettes, and soupe, which customers have praised for their excellent taste and quality.
Rayan is a favourite among many, with regulars enjoying the unique experience of selecting their fish and asking how they would like it prepared. The generous portions, including smelt, shrimps, potato wedges, and salad, often leave diners with leftovers. The seasoning, textures, and freshness are unbeatable, creating a seaside atmosphere reminiscent of Alexandria or the Red Sea, enhanced by Egyptian music in the background. While the restaurant does not serve alcohol, it offers Egyptian soft drinks and sustainable take boxes.
The overall atmosphere, delightful seating, and friendly staff encourage many to return. Customers describe the restaurant as "great," with "yummy" fish, "very clean" washrooms, and a "nice" ambiance. The staff is "helpful," and the food, including sides of salad and fries, is "delicious." Although prices have increased slightly, Rayan remains a top choice for seafood lovers. The ordering process may take some getting used to, but the staff is "easy-going." Family favorites include grilled sea bass, fried calamari, and the fabulous grilled octopus that must be enjoyed hot. Despite its popularity, Rayan is noted for its expensive prices, making it a special dining experience.
