I love this place but since i live in hochelaga i only come out once or twice a summer for a bike ride & a snack. First time out this year & a falafel & a drink cost me 20$. Sorry, far too much for a falafel no matter how good it is. Wont be returning. Shame.
Amazing food, one of the bests where we enjoyed every bite! Also the lady at the cafe was very warm & welcoming! The best part is that the full menu was vegetarian, no meat! They have mushroom based shish touk which is quite amazing!

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!
Delicious & good service. It is a bit on the pricey end for falafel but it's worth it. They really pack the sandwiches. Only disappointment is that I ordered a combo & they forgot to give me a drink :(
Please don't go left & right Falafel St Jacques is the best in Montreal "Point Final". You can't find a fresher sandwich in town. The pita is baked in house, the falafels are crunchy & fried in front of you. If you are a fan of spicy food let them know & they will take care of you. This place is a heaven for vegans 🌱 & will definitely put a smile on your face after the first bite 😊
