Chalutier M L M is widely celebrated for serving what many consider the best fish and chips in the region, featuring fresh haddock with a perfectly light and crispy batter. Guests consistently highlight the incredible value of the table d'hôte menu, which includes soup, a generous main course, dessert, and coffee or tea at a very reasonable price. While the restaurant maintains a traditional, no-frills atmosphere and often experiences wait times due to its popularity, the efficient service and jovial environment keep regulars returning frequently.

Un délice pour les amateurs de poisson frais! Établis depuis bien des années, la réputation de leur fish&chip & pâté au saumon vaut le détour. Les desserts en table d'hôte sont diversifiés. Loin du simple jello souvent la norme à d'autres endroits. J'y retourne bientôt avec ma mère pour y faire découvrir l'endroit.
Il y à longtemps que nous n'étions pas allés. La soupe aux pois était bonne. Nous n'avons pas vraiment aimé la panure du fish & chips & les frites très ordinaire. Les desserts ( tarte aux pommes & pouding chômeur ) étaient médiocres.
Près de $100.00 pour deux assiettes de fish & chips 2 morceaux en table d'hôte & un coke, non merci on n'y retournera jamais. Comme bien des restaurants, la qualité a baissé & les prix ont augmentés.
Let me put you on a gem that only your friends who are 60-plus would know about. Le Chalutier MLM has been operating on Boulevard des Laurentides in Laval since 1976, which means this restaurant has been frying haddock longer than most of its current clientele have been on blood thinners. I say this with nothing but love: the youngest customer in this building does not yet have a pacemaker, but she's on a waitlist. The median age of the dining room is'remembers Expo 67 in person.' The restaurant closes at 8 p.m. - not because they want to, but because the crowd demands it - & it is reliably packed by 5 p.m., which, if you've ever wondered what the early bird special would look like if it were a lifestyle ideology, this is your answer.
The fish & chips comes out golden blonde - Pamela Anderson in her prime, baywatch-era, running-in-slow-motion blonde - with a batter so light & shatteringly crisp it sounds like applause when you bite into it. The table d'hôte is the greatest deal in the greater Montreal area: soup, main dish, dessert, & tea or coffee, all included. & the tartare sauce - homemade, creamy, tangy - I could eat it with a spoon like yogurt, & I am not exaggerating, I would put it on cereal if society would let me.
For dessert, do not overthink it: order the pouding chômeur. The Québécois classic arrives warm, swimming in maple syrup, dense with the kind of unapologetic sweetness that makes you understand, on a constitutional level, why this province has wanted to separate from Canada since before you were born. One bite & you'll be voting Oui. Le Chalutier MLM doesn't have a sommelier, a Instagram page worth following, or a single customer who knows what TikTok is - & that is precisely why it is perfect.

J'ai eu le plaisir de déguster à nouveau le meilleur fish & chips de ce côté du Saint-Laurent. Toutefois, je me dois de faire part de mon mécontentement concernant la politique de facturation de 4 $ pour le partage d'une assiette. Notre groupe était composé de trois personnes, dont deux ont opté pour la table d'hôte incluant une soupe, un poisson, un dessert (la meilleure tarte au citron) ainsi que du café ou du thé. L'un des membres de notre groupe a décidé de prendre la soupe d'un autre membre. La serveuse a alors fait remarquer que le partage d'un repas entraînait un supplément de 4 $. Cette pratique m'a semblé déplacée & peu courtoise. J'ai finalement payer 2 fois pour la soupe. J'aurais dû, à mon avis, prendre la soupe & demander un Doggie-bag. Il est regrettable que cette politique ternisse la réputation d'un établissement classique de Laval.
The place was very clean & the fish was delicious , it's sad the service was very bad , very rushed. Waitress did not tell us that there's the option of'a la carte' &' table d'hote' , Ofc she charged us the expensive one. Also one of the guest on my table only wanted an appetizer. The waitress still charges an extra'4$' on one of the plates for'sharing' , it's sad because the food is delicious but the service won't make me go back . Good luck
Spécialité "Fish & Chips" portion généreuse,cuisine familiale, table d'hôte offrant grand choix de desserts fait maison. Distanciation respectée (Covid), service par Moira très gentille & efficace T o u j o u r s Impeccable! 11.9.24
Best fish & chip I ever had, & I'm comparing it to Halifax & St. John's fresh caught meals I've had. The place looks a little dated but the food & service are sooo amazing you come to appreciate the simplicity of the place. The lines outside were constant & they're prepared because they even have a covered seating area to protect you from the elements while you eagerly wait for deliciousness. Nostalgic Québec family restaurant. Only negative, prices à little steep on some plates but table d'hôte makes up for it.
Incontournable pour les passionnés de fish&chip DÉLICIEUX 👏👏 Table d'hôte a prix très très raisonnable, de bonne portions. & même les autres choses sur le menu sont excellentes. ( Pas tout essayer mais aucune déception depuis des années).
