Review Summary

Brit & Chips is widely considered one of the best spots in Montreal for authentic fish and chips, praised for its fresh, crispy batter and generous portions. Guests frequently highlight the diverse menu options, including unique choices like maple syrup batter, gluten-free alternatives, and various fish types like cod, salmon, and haddock. While many visitors rave about the friendly, efficient staff and cozy atmosphere, some note that the venue can feel cramped during peak hours and that dishes can occasionally lean towards the greasier side. Whether dining on the outdoor terrace or grabbing a quick meal near the Old Port, most patrons enjoy a welcoming experience that pairs well with their selection of British-style sides and beverages.

I went in not knowing if the tofu & chips would be vegan or just vegetarian. I am here to confirm for the vegan community: the battered tofu & fries are vegan, so is the curry sauce. The mushy peas & tartare sauce aren't though. This was a yummy & filling lunch. I recommend getting the irn bru as a pairing :)

J'y suis allé en espérant manger le meilleur fish n' chips. Résultat? Excellent! La sauce tartare aussi est sur la coche, mais limite sur la quantité pour deux filets de poisson. Ce ne sont pas des chips, seulement des frites. Elles étaient ordinaires & il y avait seulement de la mayonnaise & du ketchup en sachets sur la table. Pas de sel, de poivre ou de vinaigre. Un peu décevant, mais j'y retournerai probablement pour prendre un autre accompagnement.

Fish ans chips a la sauce érable. Excellent mais pour ceux qui aiment la nourriture grasse. Lourd a digérer. Service impeccable & rapide. La nourriture était bonne mais comme je ne suis pas habitué, très gras & lourd pour moi. Je recommande pour ceux qui aiment ce type de bouffe.

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?

Cozy little place with good service & delicious fish & chips. I got the maple syrup battered sole & it was absolutely delicious. I really loved the tartare sauce that came with it as well. The employees were kind & full of smiles. I'll definitely be back to try more :)

I ordered take out - picture is after I took many bites! I don't think you can go wrong here - I recommend ordering extra tartare sauce because it is THAT good!

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.

Good fish & chips & dessert the apple fritters best I got so far in my life, moist & bouncy with just the perfect crust around it & it comes with a caramel sauce so good don't forget to add the ice cream help cleanse the palate & go back to the fritters, service friendly & there is an ambiance of music but doesn't prevent you from earring people around your table.
