⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We visited Falafel St Jacques during our vacation in Montreal, & it was a wonderful experience. The food was fresh & delicious. The falafel sandwiches were flavorful, & the salads we ordered were equally tasty. We finished the meal with their homemade lemonade, which was refreshing & the perfect complement to the food.

The service was just as impressive. The host was incredibly friendly, patient, & helpful, taking the time to answer our questions & make us feel welcome. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious falafel & warm hospitality in Montreal!

The food is absolutely phenomenal. Best falafel I've had & the mushroom based meats were loved by my meat eating friends. They actually liked it better than meat. The staff is so friendly & nice.

The food was excellent, truly well prepared & flavorful. However, the overall experience was disappointing. I made a lighthearted comment about what seemed like a pricing mistake, but instead of taking it as a joke, the response I received was an insult whispered discreetly. While the cuisine itself deserves recognition, the way customers are treated matters just as much. Great food, but the experience left a negative impression.

This is an interesting place for falafel. The prices were good & the service was really fast. I hope they add some non vegetarian options.

Meilleurs falafels en ville. Les gens sont ultra sympathiques, & parlent bien français. J'aimerais mieux personnellement un accueil initial où le français est favorisé mais c'est le seul point à améliorer pour moi. Une institution montréalaise & un délice absolu. À essayer absolument.

The best Israeli food I've found in Montreal. If you've been to Israel & miss the authentic flavors, this place will bring back a lot of great memories. The falafel, pita, salads, & sauces all taste authentic & remind you of the real thing.

They also have an amazing selection of Israeli groceries & specialty products that are almost impossible to find anywhere else in Montreal. You can find fresh burekas, schnitzel, Israeli snacks, canned goods, & many other products imported from Israel.

Walking in honestly feels like a little flashback to Israel. The food is fresh, the portions are generous, & everything is consistently delicious. If you're craving authentic Israeli food in Montreal, this is the place to go. 🇮🇱🥙
