Review Summary

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.

Your food is so much worse than the other location. If you'd let me decide where to order from we'd order twice a week but now that we forced here to machine we stopped. Why can't you match the quality? Why can't you bake a challah?

This was the BEST most delicious sandwich EVER! We both had the Shishtaouk Trio as it was highly recommended for our first visit here. The quality of all the food & flavors were excellent! The house made fluffy pita?? So AMAZING!! The LOVE put into this plant based food speaks to the love of cruelty free living! They say at Falafel St. Jacques,'we're storytellers of spice & soul' & that sums up the joy this beautiful restaurant radiates!!! Wonderful experience! Merci beaucoup!! Peace + Love ☮? ❤?🌱 #vegan

Delicious falafel & the lady in the shop was so so kind. We went here before arriving to the airport & it was the best thing we could have done. Great price quality & super fresh

Wanted something to eat that wasn't too sweet or too filling & would be ready quickly, for that time period between lunch & dinner. My lunch that day wasn't very filling so I was already feeling hungry at 4pm (when I picked up my daughter after school). Came upon this place. Clean, modern decor, lots of yummy packaged desserts & a colorful display of veggies/hummus/baba ganoush. Tried the faux chicken platter & it was delicious - like it's better than real chicken!! I'm not a vegetarian but I always try to get more veggies into my diet. Got some beet salad, cucumber salad, hummus, shredded cabbage & some sweet potatoes on the platter. Because of the variety of flavors (& colors) I felt satisfied without feeling bloated/full. I would give this 4.5 stars if I could. I don't usually give 5 stars unless I get consistent quality/experience over at least 2 visits. Anyways, much better & fresher tasting than Boustan/Amir. Very animated & engaged owner/server. This year, I'm making it a goal to only go to mom-pop places as I find the service/quality better & more unique than franchises. Anyways, I am looking forward to visiting again & trying their faux meat platter, faux chicken nuggets & their homemade desserts (I saw them take out a fresh tray of hamantaschens).

The absolute best food ever. I can eat here everyday of the week & still want it on that 8th day. I think the food is always amazing quality & the service is so friendly. Henok is always making my experience positive.
