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!

What a wonderful experience!
I visited this falafel store today with my elderly mother, & I was truly touched by the kindness & service. The lady working there was incredibly sweet - she helped my mom sit comfortably & even brought us a table & chairs inside so we could enjoy our meal. The food was absolutely delicious - fresh, flavorful, & made with love.
It's not just a great place to eat, it's a place where you feel cared for. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!❤?
