Review Summary

Brit & Chips is widely considered one of the best spots in Montreal for authentic fish and chips, praised for its fresh, crispy batter and generous portions. Guests frequently highlight the diverse menu options, including unique choices like maple syrup batter, gluten-free alternatives, and various fish types like cod, salmon, and haddock. While many visitors rave about the friendly, efficient staff and cozy atmosphere, some note that the venue can feel cramped during peak hours and that dishes can occasionally lean towards the greasier side. Whether dining on the outdoor terrace or grabbing a quick meal near the Old Port, most patrons enjoy a welcoming experience that pairs well with their selection of British-style sides and beverages.

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.

One of the things I always try to do is visit a chippy everywhere I go! I've had them almost everywhere I've been. The best ones tend to besmall but with a large fryer. Brit & Chips was no exception. Tables & seats inside are limited, as space is dedicated to producing delicious meals! We almost passed on the place due to lack of seating. Fortunately, one of the wait staff, Daní informed us that they had plenty of outdoor seating. I was dubious at first as the canopy on the outdoor seating area looked like it was designed for sun, not rain! As we'd brought umbrellas, problem solved! We'd dine seni al fresco under a combination of sun shade & umbrellas. The menu is not fancy, fish in various forms, freshly prepared & served hot. My wife & her niece were reticent about trying the maple syrup battered haddock but her boyfriend, being the adventurous type, ordered it with chips. Daní correctly informed us that while one could tell maple syrup was an ingredient, it wasn't sweet like eating pancakes. The rest of us ordered the cod, in burgundy ale batter. To get us started we had a couple of amazing Québec produced bitter beers & a couple of glasses of house wine. My wife commented that the wine was excellent. The food arrived promptly & the presentation was exactly what one would expect from a British style chippy. 2 pieces of crisp golden brown battered fish with a generous helping of crisp chips! The flavour was amazing for both fish & chips. My niece's boyfriend noted that as Danaí had predicted, the maple syrup in the batter helped enhance the flavour of the fish & definitely did not overpower it. Pricing was what one would expect for a quality fish & chip meal, with wine & domestic beer. All in all, a great meal served by the friendly & attentive Danaí in a convivial atmosphere. Definitely a must visit for a chippy aficionado (pun intended)!

If you want to have some great fish & chips in Montreal. Don't look for an other place. We had both types (salmon & cod) & they were really perfect on taste & structure. Very nice waitress.

We tried this place because of all the good reviews. I'm not sure whether the restaurant was having a bad night but the chips were awful- soggy & overcooked. The fish was smothered in batter which was not very nice. I had the salmon & my partner had the cod with a side of mushy peas. It was a very disappointing dining experience.

I haven't had great fish & chips that was even close to as good as I had here today in many years . Two big pieces of cod in an excellent batter with a ton of great fries that I was not able to finish to my great regret. I will definitely be back again!

Just the perfectly fried fish n' chips you'd expect. Super texture to the cod & a nutty, crisp texture for the batter. Generous helping of fries. Cherry ale to wash down. Buzzer for order, bus your tray. Youthful staff & diverse patrons. Grateful for the choice among the elegant "high-rise" restaurants around it on McGill.
