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.
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.
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.
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.
We had a wonderful lunch experience - it truly felt like we were in the Maritimes. The two generous pieces of cod with fries were delicious, & Gabriella, our server, was warm, attentive, & charming. Highly recommend!
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.
I tried Cod Fish & Chips & it was delicious, but not special.
My partner tried Haddock & it was so tasty & I suggest it if you're going for Fish & Chips.
The portions are pretty decent.
If the weather is nice, sit outside cause inside is a bit gloomy & the smell of oil can be a bit unpleasant.
Basic fish & chips menu... Cod, salmon, haddock, along with a tofu option, a couple chicken options & beef/lamb kabobs. My partner & I both had Cod burgers. The side of chips / fries was a generous portion. We also shared a green salad that was large & tasty with cucumber & tomatoe slices. My 5 stars is based on the staff, taste, & overall value, unrelated to fancy looks. Not fancy here, great little place. The staff was very friendly & watched over us to make sure everything was to our liking. They interacted with each other in a fun manner. Small indoor seating area. They have outdoor seating by the street in the summer. They also do take out.
Our compliments to the cook & servers!

Just needed some fish. Had the cod, chips/ fries & mushy peas- never had them before but they were good. Nice little spot for some food. Staff was very nice.
DELISH! Cute little fish & chips place. Half of the space is counter, bar height seating & the back half are small tables. Ordered the cod with chips & tamarind fried shrimp along with a pint of beer. All were delicious! I devoured it all. Casual, easy, fun, & tasty!

As a Brit I can say this is the best place to go in Montreal for fish & chips. The chips are good if a little American but the Cod is spot on. Even the coleslaw, mushy peas & pickles were first rate. Only reason for only 4 star on the atmosphere was the -17oC wind blowing in every time the door opened
The food is excellent. We went there around 2pm. A very clean restaurant. We both had the Cod (Burgundy Lion batter) & fries, the Cod was so good, a big portion of 2 big pieces, very nicely seasoned & fried, tasted so good & was very fresh, & very hot to the last bite. The best Cod I have ever had. The fries portion was big, I could eat only half of it, so tasty. I had Lacroix cider with my food. We did not have dessert since we were very full. Service was very good, polite & pleasant staff, also a fast service. The food is cooked fresh upon ordering. Restaurant is not big but many small tables with 2 chairs, also bar stools around the cooking counter. We discovered the restaurant by coincidence & we are so happy, we did. We will definitely return.
Service was excellent, atmosphere was cute (although not recommended for groups larger than 4), & the food was okay. The cod was a bit dry, the fried skin seemed a tad overcooked in a few spots as well, & it didn't taste seasoned. However, the tarter sauce & garlic mayo was good. You get a huge portion of fries. Id recommend sharing the fish & chips (add 1 extra piece of fish) between two people rather than getting 2 different orders. If you're not starving, 1 order without an additional piece may even be enough.
Food is top notch. I got the cod fish & chips. Poutine is one of the best in the city & so are the fries. Only downside is the service & how heavily they pressure you for the tip, even for take out. But the food is sooooo good.
