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.
Service au comptoir, garçon très sympathique. Sauf qu'il est un peu difficile de s'entendre parler tellement c'est bruyant (bruit des frigos situés dans l'espace pour commander & manger). Ce n'est pas du tout relaxant comme ambiance. La nourriture est bonne, choix diversifié. Grosse déception par-contre concernant les falafels qui sont beaucoup trop salés. On ne goûte pas du tout les pois chiches tellement ils sont salés. Le boeuf végétal était trop sec également.
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).
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.
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 ❤️

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.
This restaurant has by far the best quality & some real amazing healthy food. The Staff is always friendly & extremely professional. I highly recommend this restaurant

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!
