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.
Pretty much the best fish & chips I've ever had. & I grew up eating fish & chips in QC. The version of the month (Korean BBQ) omg melt in your mouth outstanding. Super fresh. Terrific marinated cucumbers. Big portions (lots of fries & generously piece of fish). Order one to share & an extra piece of fish. Very friendly & fast service despite being a full house. Cute ambiance. Merci bcp de nous avoir bien nourris ! Update back again for a 2nd visit & it did not disappoint at all. Totally love this place !!!
I was blown away with the fish & chips! I had the haddock & chips with maple syrup batter. The flavor/seasoning was amazing! The server was friendly & the service was great. I visited on my last night in Montreal, but I would definitely visit again if I'm ever in town.

I visited with a friend on our Canadian adventure recently & we found that the shrimp was delicious. He had the poutine, whilst I had the fries & tandoori shrimp (although, we didn't notice any sort of spice) Overall, friendly staff, good portions & I wish I'd tried the battered fish!
The food is excellent. We went there around 2pm. A very clean restaurant. We both had the Cod (Burgundy Lion batter) & fries, the Cod was so good, a big portion of 2 big pieces, very nicely seasoned & fried, tasted so good & was very fresh, & very hot to the last bite. The best Cod I have ever had. The fries portion was big, I could eat only half of it, so tasty. I had Lacroix cider with my food. We did not have dessert since we were very full. Service was very good, polite & pleasant staff, also a fast service. The food is cooked fresh upon ordering. Restaurant is not big but many small tables with 2 chairs, also bar stools around the cooking counter. We discovered the restaurant by coincidence & we are so happy, we did. We will definitely return.
Fish & chip is one of my personnal favorite meal, & Brit & Chips definitly make the best in town! You have to try the maple syrup haddock, it doesn't taste sweet, but it has a very rich flavor! I also recommend the popcorn tandoori shrimps as a starter, absolutly delicious ! Over the summer they have a very cute terrace a few steps away from the heart of the Old Port. As for dessert, their deep fried oreos & apple doughnut are to die for !

We used to love their fish cakes. My friend & I would stop here each trip to Montreal every few months for lunch - mainly for the fish cakes. Haven't been here since last summer & was just there last week. & what a letdown! The fish cakes are no longer a draw :( The crust is now too salty & the fish/potato/cheese mixture inside isn't as tasty. If you're reading this Brit & Chips manager, please make them like you used to.
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.

Best Fish n Chips on this Side of the Pond! Brits rejoice! THIS is the place for you, for all! Well worth hunting down, this slit of a shop was playing futbol on the tellie & serving up some of the best British classics ever! With a Burgundy Lion Al in hand, the fish was fried to perfection & the chips were abundant, the deep-fried Oreos along with the beignets aux pommes will bring a tear to your eye! Lastly, the shrimp salad was nothing short of savory & our applause to the chef! Looking forward to returning again & again with each visit to Montreal!
Service was excellent, atmosphere was cute (although not recommended for groups larger than 4), & the food was okay. The cod was a bit dry, the fried skin seemed a tad overcooked in a few spots as well, & it didn't taste seasoned. However, the tarter sauce & garlic mayo was good. You get a huge portion of fries. Id recommend sharing the fish & chips (add 1 extra piece of fish) between two people rather than getting 2 different orders. If you're not starving, 1 order without an additional piece may even be enough.
We had a great stop here! The beer was perfect on such a hot day our food was delicious! We got poutine & pickled cucumbers. The pickles were super tangy & the poutine was incredible! To be honest, this was the only poutine we've ever had in Canada so we aren't experts but we did love it!!!! I wish we were hungrier so we could have tried their fish. The staff was super friendly & helpful!! We're fans for sure!!

My friend & I couldn't help but shook our heads & exclaimed: "Miracle! Miracle!" Considering the current high prices, it can still be sold at such a low price. What is it but a miracle? $20 for a meal, & delicious!
Food is top notch. I got the cod fish & chips. Poutine is one of the best in the city & so are the fries. Only downside is the service & how heavily they pressure you for the tip, even for take out. But the food is sooooo good.
Ordered Haddock Maple Syrup batter. Did not taste the maple syrup at all! & they changed the fries, used to be homefries thicker & sweet. Frozen fries are unappealing! No longer same since new ownership.
Excellent as always Friendly staff. Switched to english fairly quickly to accomodate my friend's lack of french. Excellent fish & chips. Poutine is a must here
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.
