Falafel St-Jacques is widely praised for fresh, flavorful vegetarian Middle Eastern fare, with generous pitas, a wide range of vegan options, and tasty bakery items. The staff are friendly and welcoming, service is fast, and the overall vibe feels hospitable and homey, often described as consistent in quality and flavor across salads, sauces, and fillings. Some reviewers note high prices for the portions or occasional service quirks, and a few mention parking can be challenging, but the place remains a popular go-to option for veg and meat eaters seeking hearty, satisfying options.
Service is always so friendly & welcoming. Ingredients had the Falafel wrap all dressed with a Latke. The ingredients are all super fresh. Flavors mix perfectly. Just the right amount of spice. There's no better falafel in Montreal. I would definitely recommend!
Apres 2 essais moi & ma femme avons essayé une bonne partie de leur menu du au fait que les assiettes ou trio on plus ou moins 3 a 8 choix voir plus.
Il y a certainement quelques une de bonnes mais rien qui en vos le prix qui est comme les autres commantraire le souligne un peu aléatoire & surélevé.
Les gens y parles français mais n'utilise que l'anglais. Cela me parais souvent offensant car le service manque en plus d'une bonne générosité de charisme & savoir vivre.
Par rapport à la nourriture je ne vous recommande pas particulièrement. J'ai été végétalien pendant 5 ans & je suis épicurien! J'ai un minimum de savoir faire en cuisine professionnel & je me pose de sérieuses question si ces personne goûte à leur propre recette! J'ai pris ce qu'il appelles hamburgers avec des frites. Il mon servis une galette ive sec & sans goût dans un pita remplis de comcombre tomate & humus. Je ne sais pas comment il on réussi mais je n'es jamais mangé quelque chose d'aussi amer & pourtant je raffole d'amertume! Je n'es pas eu de frite mes plutôt des tomate & choux de bruxel qui étais relativement bon.
Les desserts étique avec manque de clarté!
Vente de produit importé sans traduction ni anglais ni français qui semble d'origine de fruit exotique & tu paye un extra que ni même le serveur connais le prix & finalement ces du jus oasis à 7$ 250ml
Les salades sont bien trop froide & l'agencement des saveur & texture n'étais pas bon!
Ma femme & moi avons eu mal au ventre au moin 30 min après.
Sérieusement je me sent prank

Delicious vegan food! We got the shawarma & falafel pita with salads. Highly recommended, delicious & fast service. You can also purchase ready to eat meals for home.
This place is spectacular! They offer authentic, delicious vegetarian Israeli food, tons of bakery options & grocery items. If this isn't enough, the people are some of the happiest & kindest people you'll meet anywhere, plus they have a few parking spots & a patio to enjoy your meal. Can't recommend Falafel St. Jacques enough! ❤?
I am editing my review from 4 years back. Amazing Vegan food, must must try!!! Very fresh & authentic taste. We tried the falafel pita wrap, shitake plate, baklawa, pistachio sweet. I bet anything you try here is amazing. I specifically was looking to visit this place from Toronto & have recommended this to 5 others who love it. Must visit if you are visiting Montreal & looking for fresh food. Requesting the owner to open a branch in Toronto!
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!❤?

Good food, bad service.
I've always loved this place - the falafel is great, but made the mistake of coming in for take-out a full 20 minutes before closing.
The man making my falafel was super rude & cranky, rolled his eyes when I asked for pickled turnip & asked me why I didn't come in earlier.
Sorry that you had already started putting things away ½ hour before closing & I get that it's a bit of a hassle getting it back out, but if you had been gracious about it, I would have continued to recommend you to everyone. Now I'm just another person wishing you appreciated your customers more.
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.
Such a wonderful experience dinning in this place! The lady works in the cashier is such a kind& sweet person!!!! ❤? the food is phenomenal here!!!! Highly recommend!! So generous with the portions!! Really enjoyed it here.

Some of the best falafel I have had. I recommend getting something with salad because they had a lot of options, & you could choose two with the sandwich. The tabouli was very fresh, & the quinoa salad was nice. For meat the Jerusalem mix was good too, & the fries were crispy. I recommend the tahini & spicy sauce, which wasnt very spicy anyways. The staff were kind & helpful, love the guy who did some fancy spins as he wrapped up our sandwiches.
My favorite gluten free option. The owner is sooo friendly & the food is amazing. Vegan & gluten friendly options !!!! Highly recommend this neighbourhood gem !
The most A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Falafels there are in Montreal! The food is VERY good & the staff's attitude is great! Not cheap & welcoming. I keep coming there for years now of how good the place is! RECOMMEND.

My husband & I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE this place. It's our go-to place for Sabich & Falafel pitas! The staff is so amazing, especially the woman at the cash, she is just the sweetest. Amazing service, never disappointed! Always a pleasure to eat at Falafel St Jacques. Highly recommend :)
Favorite gem that we found during our trip! The service was impeccable & we would definitely go back!! Highly recommend, whether you're vegan or not, this is a place to try!
A hidden gem for vegatarian dining. I had the falafel pita & pineapple chicken & it was phenomenal. Easily the best falafel I have ever had & I would never guess the pineapple chicken is made from mushrooms. The service was great too, the staff were very polite & made the experience feel like eating with family. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if visiting Montréal!
