Most incredible vegetarian fast food!!! The perfectly seasoned mushrooms used to make Shish Taouk & Shawarma would convert any meat eater. The variety of salads & condiments further enhance your plates. Plus, ready made foods to take home. Owner pride goes into everything they do. Stop by, you'll have no regrets. Delicious experience!

We stumbled across Falafel St. Jacques looking for spots on our way back to Old Montreal from the airport. It was our favorite meal so far in 3 days of this trip! Easily one of the best meals I've had recently in general.

My family eats a lot of falafel & shawarma in California, & this was one of the best I've had. For 12$ USD, we each got a pita sandwich & choice of two sides & a drink! I had the Jerusalem trio pita with tabbouleh & mushrooms - so flavorful. My dad got the same with baba ghanoush & eggplant, which were divine. Probably could have taken home leftovers, but it was all too good not to finish right away.

The staff were incredibly friendly & welcoming. We could have stayed & talked with them for hours. We even got recommendations for our next stop in Quebec City. The team said they cook for other like they cook at their homes, & you can taste the love.

Everything was so fresh & flavorful. I WISH we had a Falafel St. Jacques in our hometown - I'd go every day!

I stop here on my way home as often as possible - not just for dinner (falafel & sabich are excellent) but also to pic up their delicious salads, vegan shawarma/shish taouk, & baked goods (omg their babka…) for home. I've also done catering & it's always perfect. Everyone that works there is wonderful. Can't suggest highly enough.

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
