Review Summary

Brit & Chips is widely celebrated for serving some of the best fish and chips in Montreal, often noted for its authentic British-style batter, fresh ingredients, and flavorful options like the popular maple-battered fish. While the majority of diners praise the speedy service and welcoming atmosphere, particularly on the outdoor terrace during the summer, some visitors find the indoor seating to be cramped and the food occasionally too greasy or heavy. Consistency in service and oil quality is occasionally questioned, but the establishment remains a frequent recommendation for comfort food seekers who enjoy crispy batter, savory tartar sauce, and a variety of fish choices.

Will not be ordering again. Ordered 2pc Sole with a gluten-friendly batter (not sure if they have a dedicated fryer for the GF items).

The GF batter is crispy but quite greasy, & the batter to fish ratio seems lopsided (so much batter - chunks with zero fish inside).

The tartare sauce was incredibly salty.

Tastes like the frying oil needs to be changed.

Fries were bland.

Edible but woefully mediocre, especially for $25 a meal. Might be better as a dine-in experience?

Great fish & chips place! The food is incredibly savory & the fish is crispy & not overly oily. The only challenge is seating if the weather is too cold. The inside is a bit cramped & small. The staff is kind although I know for the lunch rush they can be quite busy & overwhelmed. Otherwise excellent place for fish & chips!

Another Montreal spot that cured my GF food grief for the weekend. We ordered one GF fish & chips & one regular. I've tried GF fish & chips in Dublin & Malta (Malta being the best yet) & this spot was up there both of the others. Crispy batter, flavorful & crunchy. Service was great, we were there when a big bus arrived but they got our food out very quick given the busy pace.

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.

It has changed since I went 5 years ago. I feel the fries are a little more basic than before, but the fish was still nice & crispy.
