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 paint Brit & Chips as a standout Montreal spot for traditional British fish and chips, with many calling it the best in town and praising a crisp, well balanced batter and generous portions of cod or haddock alongside tasty chips. The gluten free batter option is noted as a big plus, though several comments mention it is not prepared in a separate fryer. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, with a cozy, appealing vibe and often lively outdoor seating in good weather. Diners also appreciate variety, including monthly specials, salmon and other fish options, poutines, and sauces such as tartar, curry, and even kimchi mayo or maple syrup batter. Some reviews flag occasional greasiness, overcooking, or higher prices, and a few outings note noise or service inconsistencies during busy times. Overall, it comes across as a dependable, satisfying fish and chips experience with a distinctly local character that many would return for.
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.
The fish (cod) & chips were great. Server great. The stout & extra special bitter they sell was excellent. Small shop, outdoor seating good but indoor seating area is small, tight, & smelled of loo.
Small place, rather a fast food with restaurant prices. The most expensive beer we had in Montreal & the atmosphere was not impressive. We felt that the frying oil needs to be changed more often. The Scotch egg was ok, but very small (1 egg) for 12$. The fish & chips (cod morue) was ok-ish but kind of bland. The Poutine was not special, nothing to write home about.
