Ayla was a sublime experience blending together traditional flavors with modern techniques.We chose to sit at the bar right in the middle of the busy restaurant - it came with pros and cons. The background sounds, bustling and chatter from behind the bar provided the perfect envelope to our own conversations. However service was sacrificed due to us being in the middle of it all.The food and drinks were all carefully prepared and presented. The toppings were perfectly selected to give each mouthful a delightful experience. Dare I say my favorite dish was the dessert - date cake (a la pudding chômeur) with pistachio ice cream. The branzino fish and the charred eggplant were a close second with the octopus a very close third. And lastly was the gnocchi pesto dish which was still satisfying.Ayla is the perfect date night spot to disappear to for a couple of hours and come out with fond memories.

Had dinner at Ayla last night with my husband and we loved it. The waiters are so good at making suggestions based on food preferences. We had the 3 dips with the Turkish flat bread and everything was delicious but the muhammara dip was especially yummy. As a main, we shared the seared calamari, the asparagus with Romano and parmesan cheese and the Branzino filet with greens. The food really did not disappoint. The flavours were perfectly balanced and very tasty. Dessert was the date cake with pistachio ice cream. We LOVED it! Apart from the food, we appreciated the friendly service and how well they explained the flavours of the. food and the sommelier was amazing with pairing the dishes with the best wine! A special thank you to David and Renald for being so attentive and friendly! You really made the difference which made our evening wonderful!

We were 30 minutes late for our reservation and still received the most amazing service. The staff was SO nice and professional. We were even offered a nicer table on the terrace! The food was DELICIOUS. We ordered appetizers to share, we tasted each others main dishes, and barely had enough room for dessert but so glad we ordered it anyway because it was amazing. Will be back very soon!

The food was great and delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and fun. The service was a bit of a yo-yo. When we arrived, it was great. The hostesses that greated us were very nice and welcoming. Once we sat, someone came to serve us some water. But then, we felt forgotten about. They asked for our order a long time after our arrival and we were so hungry we ordered our food at the same time as the drinks. The food arrived under 2 minutes later ! As of then, we started to feel rushed: we ordered 4 appetizers to share and they all came together right away. Every 15 minutes, someone was coming to try to take the plates or drinks away, when we didn't even have more than one or two bites out of them! They didn't come back to give us water or ask us to get more drinks (which we wanted!). We took our time to enjoy the exquisite food. But when our main courses arrived, we felt like the restaurant was starting to close up, when it was only 10 PM on a Thursday evenings. I would definitely come back but will try to come on a Friday or Saturday night and hope not to feel like the restaurant is closing too early !

Went to Ayla for a few drinks and some appetizers at the bar with a friend. The service was AMAZING. Was warmly greeted at the entrance by the hostess and then directed to our reserved seats at the magnificent bar. We felt very welcomed throughout the whole night and were taken care of by the whole staff. The bartender Jean-Nicolas was one of the most experienced, knowledgeable and friendly ones I’ve met and I would definitely recommend coming to his bar if you want a classic cocktail done right! The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the wine selection was impeccable. I will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu and be served by their amazing bartender again!

Very good service, BEAUTIFUL place and food presentation. Food is really good. However, make sure you take appetizers as you may not be filled by the mains, plus appetizers were great !Update: Came back, food is still amazing ! Pictures added include some additions on the menu. The lamb was excellent ! And the seafood Rice was very good especially with shrimps and scallops cooked to perfection!

Honestly, one of the most underrated spots in Montreal. I hosted my birthday dinner here and everything was exceptional. The perfect spot for group resos (they offer easy set menus and wine pairings). So good!!
