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.
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.
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 !

Great service, friendly staff, amazing food & drinks.
Despite the sauce on top of fish, it was still crispy. It was amazingly soft inside & goes well with coleslaw.
My server was very sweet & friendly, it was very nice to talk to her.
Definitely will come back if I visit Montreal again.
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!

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!
Fantastic. Best fish & chips ever. Hope I'm not being unfair, but between among all I've had so far in GTA, this is way better. Fresh sauce & amazingly tasteful; chips are crispy & didn't have that breaded thing that many restaurants use in Ontario; fish was juicy & perfectly fried. Not a food critic, just like good stuff.
Great place in Montréal to get fish & chips. Fish is fresh, & the batter is crispy. Fries are perfectly made. The servers are friendly. The dining room is a bit cramped.
An uninpressionable rating of 1/5 portion & taste on the take out we had in comparison to the one we had dining in. Particularly there was an extremely big difference in portion of the fish which we were very disappointed of. Is the take out quantity different from the in restaurant quantity? & being the same price & item on the menu, why is this the case? The in restaurant experience & especially the portion of fish was conpletelt different 5/5 : Been a while since ive been here, Worth the long wait in line, & several other customers had said so before our turn too. Perfectly crispy & seasoned on the outside & the batter is not thick. Cooked to perfection. Good amount of fish on the inside. For the price this is quality! Service was also just as satisfying My mom is a fish & chip snob, she loves fish & chips but is hard to please. She said it was a terrific experience!
Brit & Chips is my favorite fish & chips place in Montreal. The food is great, I love how crispy the batter is & how soft the fish is. The atmosphere is really casual, & I like sitting on the high bars. I've gone maybe 3-4 times now & have enjoyed it every time.
