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!
I've tried fish & chips in London & this place truly matched the deliciousness of what I've eaten in the UK. They even import sodas from there (irn bru & Ben Shaw)! Plus the view is really good & the location isn't swarming with people. After eating peacefully, you can enter the Old Montreal area where's there's a lot more people.
Absolutely recommend!
PS: get the dandelion soda, was really good.

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.

one of the employees recommended the salmon fish n chips, i enjoyed it so much i think i ate a piece of the paper (didnt mind tho)
great cozy spot, very welcoming atmosphere
Really good fish & chips as well as popcorn shrimp. Uniqueness to the batter & really similar to the UK with the sides such as curry sauce & mushy peas. Interior is really cute & reminds me of chippys I've been to in England, good patio as well!
Amazing fish & chips!! Also, an amazing place to come for poutine, one of the best in the city!! They have a lovely outdoor seating area. I would definitely visit again!! The service is very quick & there isn't much wait for food. They also have a number of beer options & cocktails as well. I love how they had a bowl of water outside of their restaurant for dogs, very British! This place is worth a visit! :)
