Reviews describe Falafel St. Jacques as a standout for vegetarians and meat eaters alike, with the Lachine location noted for a welcoming atmosphere and comfortable seating. The food is consistently praised for freshness, bold flavor, and a well crafted texture, especially the falafel which is described as freshly fried, light, crunchy on the outside and soft inside, and the house-made pita that is fluffy and satisfying. A wide range of vegan and vegetarian options is highlighted, including plant-based proteins and vegan shawarma, with staff who are friendly, patient, and attentive, making guests feel well cared for. There is also mention of a mini store inside that adds to the experience. Comparison to other Middle Eastern spots often places Falafel St. Jacques at the top, with many calling it the best falafel in Montreal or North America. Value is a theme, with comments about good food at reasonable prices, though a few notes mention unclear pricing on pre-made counter items and labeling on containers. The overall impression is one of genuine hospitality, flavorful plant-forward fare, and a sense of being storytellers of spice and soul.

What luck! Accidentally found myself in a state of massive hunger in Lachine & wound up in the greatest plant based restaurant I've ever stumbled upon. The Shawarma & Mongolian grooves are insane, the eggplant is the best I've had in Canada outside of Armenian Resto in Toronto. Weekly trip to this totally tubular top spot

I have been going to the Falafel St Jacques in Ville St Pierre for years & have always enjoyed it immensely. This is the first time that I've visited the Falafel St Jacques in Lachine & I liked it even more because of the atmosphere & comfortable seating. I came with two friends at about 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon & we had the place to ourselves. Of the Middle Eastern restaurants that serve similar fare, Boustan, Emir & Basha, the food here is, in my opinion, far superior.

The Notre Dame lachine up & coming trendy street is larger than the original spot. Tables & chairs inside & outside makes it a pleasant experience with Falafel St Jacques great middle eastern food. Place is exceptionally clean , your food prepared on the spot , many varieties of dishes to choose from & all vegetarian & reasonably priced . Pita & all baked goods & salads are made fresh daily on site , every salad is available individually for take out , as are baked goods & the vegetarian shawarma, etc.

Très déçue du service qu'en anglais seulement. Je suis bilingue mais francophone & nous sommes au Québec. L'homme au comptoir ne se force même pas pour me répondre en français à une question simple. Manque de respect pour la clientèle. Quand tu as un commerce, c'est la moindre des choses d'être bilingue, surtout à Lachine où la majorité parle français. Je n'y retournerai pas. Dommage car leur nourriture est bonne.

Falafel St Jacques in Lachine is a standout vegetarian dining destination. Their falafel & accompanying dishes are consistently praised for both their exceptional taste & visually appealing presentation. The owner's generosity & welcoming nature add a personal touch that enhances the dining experience, making every visit memorable. As the best vegetarian option in town, Falafel St Jacques comes highly recommended for anyone seeking delicious, wholesome meals served with a smile. Pairing with the best bubble tea in town across the street perfect wedding ❤️
