Brit & Chips is located in the Heart of Old Montreal, it’s goal is to capture the best aspects of a traditional chippy and add some of the local flavour and style that Montreal, and Old Montreal specifically, are known for.
Reviews consistently praise Brit & Chips as one of the best fish and chips in Montreal, with cod or other fish battered light and crispy, tender inside, and generous hand cut fries; the tartar sauce, mushy peas, and even gluten free batter get frequent nods, along with impressive sides like apple fritters, calamari, and curry sauces; service is described as friendly, quick and bilingual in a cozy or small setting, though it can get crowded and seating may be limited; some comments mention minor flaws such as occasional oil greasiness or variable portions, but overall the dining experience is seen as authentic, comforting and worth a repeat visit, including for takeout or a casual meal after a day of exploring Old Montreal.
It might as well be the best fish & chips in Montreal indeed. The fish & the batter were both perfectly cooked. The vegetarian samosas were very tasty, but extremely oily. Overall, very nice place if you're down for a more greasy degenerate dinner :p
Also, shout-out to the server who was on his first day! He was nice & competent
A must-visit for some of the best fish & chips in Montreal. The fish is incredibly fresh with a perfectly light, crispy batter, & the chips are spot on.
With its cozy atmosphere & friendly service, it's the ultimate go-to for a quick & satisfying comfort meal. Highly recommended!

I had the 2 piece cod with fries & coleslaw. Fish was not oily at all all. Lightly battered. Good'slaw. Thick fries, crispy edges. The only disappointing part of the meal was the pre-packaged tartare sauce. The sauce lacked a good pickle flavor. Great service staff on a very busy day. Very friendly & kept every moving efficiently.
A Massive Letdown 0 out of 100 at Brit & Chips

?As someone who lived in England for seven years, I have been raving to my wife & kids about the authentic taste of British fish & chips. I've shared so many stories about the crispy batter & fresh fish that we finally decided to visit Brit & Chips to give them a taste of the real thing. Unfortunately, it was a complete disaster.
?The food was, quite frankly, oily crap. It looked like the fish & chips had been fried in old, degraded oil that had turned black, leaving everything looking unappetizing & tasting even worse. In the world of'English style' food, this was a 0 out of 100.
?The only saving grace was the staff. The waiters were very nice & attentive, but when the food is inedible, great customer service simply isn't enough to save the experience. If you are looking for an authentic British chippy experience, this definitely isn't it.
Best fish & chips place in town. You can select the type of fish but I suggest the cod. The batter if light & crispy without tasting oily. There are a variety of other dishes also. It can get crowded at times but it's worth it.
Meilleur'fish & chips' en ville. Vous pouvez sélectionner le type de poisson que vous aimez mais je suggère la morue. La panure est légère & croustillante sans avoir le goût d'huile. Il y a une belle variété d'autres mets aussi. Ça vaut la peine de visiter ce restaurant mais il peut être très achalandé parfois.
Yeah it's good! But the shrimp popcorn was a joke, such small amount & not worth it at all!!!!! Wish the fish batter stayed crispy! The fries are ight.The coleslaw is amazing! The tartare sauce is good! They have vinegar, mayo & ketchup on the side, thanks !
I used a credit from Passeport MTL & ordered the cod fish & chips, adding a beer on the side. The service was speedy, & the staff were genuinely friendly, & fully bilingual. The food arrived hot, fresh, & delicious. The batter was light, golden, & perfectly crispy, giving way to flaky, tender cod inside. The fries looked like fresh hand-cut potatoes, double-fried to be fluffy on the inside & crisp on the outside. Simple, comforting, & done very well.

Hands down the best fish & chips in downtown Montréal! I've tried almost all their options, & while everything is fresh & tasty, the salmon is by far the best - perfectly crispy on the outside & tender, juicy inside. The batter is light & golden, never greasy, & the fries are perfectly seasoned. The portion size is generous, & everything tastes super fresh.
The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming, & the staff are always friendly & attentive. If you love seafood, this place is a must-visit - I've tried many around the city, & nothing comes close!
This is the Real McCoy, British fish & chips. I ordered the Classic Ale Battered Cod with an extra fillet. Very fresh, hot & tasty. I thought I was on Piccadilly Square. Highly recommend this great little Fish & Chips restaurant. Ask for Alexa because she'll greet you with a great smile & friendly service.

Found this little gem while visiting montreal. There is no shortage of places that offer fish & chips but to find a place that offers a gluten free batter & that actually tastes as good as this place is rare 👌🏼
We stopped by this fish & chip shop in Montreal because they offer gluten free battered fish, & it was such a great find. The portions were huge, two big pieces of fish, & you'd never be able to tell the gluten free one from the regular.
The fries were homemade & perfectly done, & both the tartare sauce & curry sauce were spot on. It does get super busy for dinner, so we went right when they opened for lunch, which worked out perfectly. Classic fish & chips done right, with the bonus of being gluten free friendly without sacrificing taste.
I can't sat enough good things about this restaurant. The fish is always cooked perfectly, never soggy, nice & fluffy with just the right amount of crispy batter. The maple syrup batter is a must, & try the mushy peas to go with the crispy fries!

Montreal is not the city to come to for exceptional fish & chips, however, if you happen to find yourself craving it while you're in the city then this is a fine place to tide you over. Though if you're used to great fish n' chips, you'll have to keep looking. Great decor tho!
The tarter sauce was a bit stodgy, the vinegar lacked punch, & the fries were on the mushier side. The fish was cooked fairly well though & the batter they used was inoffensive. It'll be a perfectly palatable meal to most.
I will say our service was quite poor, we had to refill our own glasses with water we brought from a hike on numerous times, the server didn't come by even once. We even had to go to the front & ask for the bill at the end & that was the first we saw the staff after they gave us our food.
Really good fish & chips as well as popcorn shrimp. Uniqueness to the batter & really similar to the UK with the sides such as curry sauce & mushy peas. Interior is really cute & reminds me of chippys I've been to in England, good patio as well!
We were exploring old Montreal, & honestly just looking for lunch & a watercloset ha! But what an awesome surprise , staff were sooo very accomidating even though the extent of our French was nervously mumbling je ne comprand pas francais (still not sure) but what an experience we had ! The fish was battered & fried to perfection. The chips were fantastic & perfectly cooked golden brown. You can tell they watch their oil temps & times closely & you can taste it too! Service was fast & with a smile. Also the restaurant is beautiful & CLEAN it's a great space providing a fast friendly & delicious dining experience. It was very easy to see how much the staff & management cared. This visit was not planned but it may be my favorite meal of our trip!
Never left a review until now but this was my go to spot for fish n chips in Montreal. Used to go twice a month & still talk about it to this day. Great batter & fries, imported sodas from the UK & one of only spots I found curry gravy in Canada. The service is very good each time I went!
