The atmosphere is frequently described as cozy and welcoming, featuring staff members who are consistently noted for their kindness, patience, and dedication to providing a family-like experience.

Overall, it is highly recommended as a top-tier vegan and vegetarian establishment that manages to impress even non-vegetarian diners with its delicious, cruelty-free offerings.
I guess this can happen to any place, but quality control comes into question. Wife picked up a sandwich & 5 bites in i pulled bug out of it. Lost my appetite.
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

I have heard about the Falafel St-Jacques for quite a while but never had the chance to try it out. All vegetarian? not usually my thing but wow. I am going to be honest, it is pretty good. yummm After that i went two more times. They have all kinds of vegetables sides, cucumber salads, beets, mushrooms, coleslaw, guacamole, coucous, quinoa, eggplants, tofu, choux de bruxelles, corn salad, & you name it! They all tasted good really What I love about it, they give a pretty generous portion, too much that you can't even finish the whole plate, I always bring the second half the next day for lunch they have plates or sandwiches, decent prices, they will also ask if you want hot sauce on top or on the side, a must-try if you are a spice addict just like me! Nicely decorated, great ambiance, clean, great friendly staff, good service .parking on the street but easy, not too busy If you have thought of trying this place, i strongly suggest it. i regret not trying it earlier!
I showed up around noon after a gig, got a spicy falafel sandwich, & it just reminded me that I need to go to FSJ more often, their falafel sandwiches are the best in the west, the east & pretty much anywhere. This guy was pretty much working alone with a line up building up (lunch hour crowd) & this gentleman was handling it all very calmly, like a BOSS!! These sandwiches are nice & tasty in every way imaginable, & they are very healthy!! Thank you FSJ for both of your locations.
Best falafel sandwich I have had in a long time. I ordered two, but one would have been enough. Busy place, but the line goes quickly. Excellent service. I will be back.
Je suis allé ici parce que le personnel de Subway ne parlait pas assez français à mon goût. Ça m'a ravi d'être servi en français sur la rue Notre-Dame. La décoration à l'esthétique moderne a été réalisée par la boutique Dwellin. Les prix sont corrects. Les quantités sont généreuses. La raison du 4 étoiles pour la cuisine est que le tout était un peu trop salé à mon goût &, puisque c'est mon avis, je le donne. Un falafel n'est pas un sandwich, mais je reviendrai ici la prochaine fois que je veux manger un sandwich.
