If you looking for vegan middle eastern food this is the place to go!!! Most recommended is vegan shawarma shish taouk, also they provide hummus & other dips. Also the quantity of food is great.

10.99$ for 5 pita bread on DoorDash?! 11$ for a small container of hummus?

Hummus was great, pita bread, while it's the only actual pita in Montreal, not the freshest & charging over 2$ for each small pita bread should be corrected. Even 6$ for 5 pita was pricy.

Hummus & falafel itself are hands down the easily the best in Montreal .

Making the price humane will move my rating to 4 stars. Making sure the pita is fresh & it has the potential of a 5 stars.

Edit: price now is 17$ on DoorDash for hummus & pita which is still pricy but rating did go up to 4.

Ive been going to Falafel St. Jacques over 6 years now & this review is long overdue. You can't just have one item, the vegan chicken or Shawarma, the falafel or even the hummus from sandwiches or plates first off no sample portions & not cheap! I'm highly recommending it. The staff always offering samples to taste. Everything was absolutely incredible, fresh & so tasty. They also have a dessert section that will blow your mind away! I can't wait to go back! Service was next level

Very tasty falafels & vegetarian meals! Prices are really good considering the amount of food you get. I would recommend the hummus plate where you get to choose at least 3x salad plates. Definitely a go to!

Falafel St. Jacque truly stands out as the epitome of falafel perfection, not just in Montreal but across the entirety of Canada. Every visit to this establishment is an extraordinary experience that leaves you craving more.

What sets Falafel St. Jacque apart, beyond its exceptional cuisine, is the incredibly friendly & socially engaging staff. They go above & beyond to make you feel not just like a customer but a cherished guest. Their warm hospitality transforms every visit into a delightful & memorable occasion.

Now, let's talk about the falafel itself, which is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. The exterior boasts a perfect crispiness, while the interior is bursting with flavor & tenderness. I highly recommend trying their falafel sandwich, a true work of art. It's generously loaded with authentic hummus, homemade spicy turnip, eggs, & fried eggplant, all elegantly complemented by Tahini sauce & a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Each bite is an explosion of harmonious tastes that will captivate your palate.

What's more, I'm so enamored with Falafel St. Jacque that I find myself grabbing some takeout to savor in London, Ontario, every time I visit Montreal. The irresistible allure of their cuisine knows no bounds.

In summary, Falafel St. Jacque is an exceptional culinary gem that should not be missed. With its unbeatable combination of extraordinary food & warm service, it's a highly recommended destination in Montreal for both locals & visitors alike.
