Fantastic food, irn bru was delicious, poutine was good & the cod & mushy peas were the star of the show for me. If you are craving fish & chips come here
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)!
Very good fish & chips. The service is welcoming, friendly & efficient. The atmosphere is casual but pleasant. All this makes for a tasty & comfortable lunch.
Added this on my list of poutine to try while visiting Montreal, because I love fish/chips, reviews were good & fairly close to the hotel. I had the halibut with a poutine & it was so good. My order was quick (maybe 5 minutes) & came out hot & fresh. Fish wasn't oily, just enough batter & meat on fish was perfect. Fries were the perfect fresh cut & well cooked. Couldn't finish it one sitting. Had the rest 4 hours later & it was still good! Service was also good. Will be back!
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.
Our first night in Montreal was Good Friday & my friend that I was traveling with said that his family always did fish & chips & really wanted to do that for dinner. Upon research, Brit & Chips was the restaurant that kept coming up. We knew since it was Good Friday there might be a wait but we didn't mind. When we got there they said it was 45 mins but we got in a lot quicker than that. We both got the maple battered haddock & it was absolutely delicious. It was just the right fish to batter ratio & it wasn't greasy at all. Wasn't super pricey & we got a lot of food. Will make this a stop again next time I come to Montreal!
Very nice fish & chip spot, lots of different type of fish & batter. The tartare sauce is also great! The prices are affordable, i've been many times & I recommend
