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.
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!

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!
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.
Ordered trio of'morue style poulet chaud sandwich' (special of the month).
Fish was tasty but there was only one small piece - really disappointing for the price $$
The sandwich was mostly two huge slices of thick bread with sauce & green peas. Fries were delicious & salad was good.
We stopped by this fish & chip shop in Montreal because they offer gluten free battered fish, & it was such a great find. The portions were huge, two big pieces of fish, & you'd never be able to tell the gluten free one from the regular.
The fries were homemade & perfectly done, & both the tartare sauce & curry sauce were spot on. It does get super busy for dinner, so we went right when they opened for lunch, which worked out perfectly. Classic fish & chips done right, with the bonus of being gluten free friendly without sacrificing taste.

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!
fish n chips here are so good. highly recommend getting extra pickles, i was capable of gobbling them up whole because of how gluttonous i am (it helps cut the heaviness of fried food)
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!

Montreal is not the city to come to for exceptional fish & chips, however, if you happen to find yourself craving it while you're in the city then this is a fine place to tide you over. Though if you're used to great fish n' chips, you'll have to keep looking. Great decor tho!
The tarter sauce was a bit stodgy, the vinegar lacked punch, & the fries were on the mushier side. The fish was cooked fairly well though & the batter they used was inoffensive. It'll be a perfectly palatable meal to most.
I will say our service was quite poor, we had to refill our own glasses with water we brought from a hike on numerous times, the server didn't come by even once. We even had to go to the front & ask for the bill at the end & that was the first we saw the staff after they gave us our food.
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.
We were exploring old Montreal, & honestly just looking for lunch & a watercloset ha! But what an awesome surprise , staff were sooo very accomidating even though the extent of our French was nervously mumbling je ne comprand pas francais (still not sure) but what an experience we had ! The fish was battered & fried to perfection. The chips were fantastic & perfectly cooked golden brown. You can tell they watch their oil temps & times closely & you can taste it too! Service was fast & with a smile. Also the restaurant is beautiful & CLEAN it's a great space providing a fast friendly & delicious dining experience. It was very easy to see how much the staff & management cared. This visit was not planned but it may be my favorite meal of our trip!
Never left a review until now but this was my go to spot for fish n chips in Montreal. Used to go twice a month & still talk about it to this day. Great batter & fries, imported sodas from the UK & one of only spots I found curry gravy in Canada. The service is very good each time I went!
