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.

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!

Stopped by here for the first time today after wanting to try it for quite some time - & it will certainly not be my last visit. The owner & the woman at the cash are both incredibly warm & pleasant. The food is out of this world - amazing flavours & portions. The falafel was so fresh & delicious & the (vegetarian!!) shish taouk is absolutely incredible. I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu here. Definitely a must-try.
