The food was delicious. Really well made. Reminded me of how fish is prepared in Arab countries. We ordered fried and grilled plates. Both were perfect. The staff are really nice and helpful. The place is very clean. You have to go to the back and order whatever you want and then you have to ask to be seated (if you don't want to take it away). I recommend.

Nothing to tell honestly. Rayan is a small fresh fish and seafood market and restaurant that has such great taste ! If you love seafood. There are dinning family supper time meals middles eastern style that you have choices to choose from. Different rice styles. You choose how you want your order cooked and etc. or just bring it home and do your own thing but they don’t mind. Every time I’ve been there I was served with lots of smiles and intent listening. They seem to always want to get it right for you and I love that. Seating, pricing and service is very delightful here ! Tell them I sent you !

Fish, fish, fish: this is an excellent place for lunch. We tried the following: queue d'homard, saumon, calamard, salade, crevettes, soupe. Top quality-of-experience for us.

Rayan is the best seafood restaurant in Quebec! Whenever I visit Montreal, I make sure to stop by their restaurant. We’ve tried their grilled sea bass BBQ, fried calamari, fries, garden salad, fried basa, and popcorn shrimp. Everything is fresh and delicious, but their fried calamari is on another level—absolutely the best! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating such a warm atmosphere. This is the perfect place to visit with family. Highly recommend Rayan to anyone looking for amazing seafood and great service!

The best place to get seafood in Montreal. The first time we went, we were a bit lost with how to order, but the waiter explained quite well. You basically go straight to the back of the restaurant where they display their fish and select what you want to eat and how you want to eat it (fried, grilled). We had the Grilled octopus and I can most definitely say it was the best octopus I had in my life !!!! The calamari’s are amazing and the shrimp are absolutely perfect! For side dishes, the fries and salad are a must in my opinion. The fries are just out of this world good !!!! We went back 4 times already and it’s been constantly good! Thank you to the team!

Rayan has been popular with locals and tourists, there’s hardly another seafood restaurant that competes with it. The food is great, tasty and served hot as it should be. The servers are prompt and attentive, you can add to your order as you’re eating. And the washrooms are clean, there are sinks out of the washroom if all you need is to wash your hands. Our 2nd time here and I’m more impressed this time.

This has been my third time eating in this restaurant. Food was good, as usual. We ordered fried shrimps, shrimps and mussels in garlic butter sauce, calamari, fried fish, and rice. I would recommend their fried fish; the spices and herbs really work to bring out the best flavour. Restroom was clean. There servers were mostly kind and attentive. Only downside is there’s no free parking. Would definitely recommend! :)
