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.
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.
Best Mediterranean sandwich in the city. They overpack it with fresh veggies full of flavours, super filling & you don't realize it's vegetarian. Henok & the team are super friendly. You have to eat here!
Vegan place; signature items, falafels are worth having, fresh. Also, dessert options are there; though I only tried falafel & shawarma sandwiches, & they are good, filling, & worth the amount: 9.99 for Falafel sandwich.
