The Best Restaurants in Griffintown, Montreal | Eater Montreal

"New kid on the block Shay (pronounced “shy”—the Arabic word for tea) has already made a strong impression on diners in the neighbourhood, despite a late start that saw the modern Middle Eastern joint push its slated 2020 opening to 2021 because of lockdown measures. Shay does a great picnic basket, but it’s worth visiting the restaurant in person, if only to take the pressure off of having to decide between the selection of mezzes: from innovative takes on Middle Eastern flavours, like falafel bao buns and shawarma tacos, to classics like shish taouk and kibbeh nayeh." - Holly Tousignant
