Unique seafood restaurant which you can choose your seafood fresh and we cooked it for you the way you like it and adding our Mediterranean touches. Originally from a port city on the Mediterranean has its reputation of seafood meal we have to meet the high expectations that it comes with the name CANAL.
Le Canal is widely praised for ultra-fresh seafood, a broad and flexible menu, and a warm, family-run vibe that makes diners feel welcome whether dining in or taking out; the counter setup lets guests select seafood by weight and have it prepared on the spot, with many dishes noted for flavor, quality and generous portions at a good price; the ambiance is casual and lively at busy times, so reservations are recommended, the staff are consistently described as friendly and attentive, and overall the experience is often described as delicious, fresh, and well presented.
Absolutely outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm & inviting, with a fresh ocean vibe that immediately set the tone. The seafood was incredibly fresh-every bite tasted like it came straight from the sea. The grilled fish was perfectly cooked, tender, & full of flavor, & the seasoning was just right without overpowering the natural taste.
The service was equally impressive-friendly, attentive, & knowledgeable about the menu. They made excellent recommendations & ensured everything was perfect throughout the meal.
Presentation was beautiful, portions were generous, & the quality exceeded expectations. This is easily one of the best fish restaurants I've visited. Highly recommend to anyone who loves fresh, delicious seafood. I'll definitely be coming back!
Food was perfect first time trying it & I will 100% come back the service was amazing always smiling giving me options since it was my first time. Overall this was perfect.
Great food great flavors, but the seating arrangement being incredibly cramped is a major drawback-I'm 5'7' 158 lbs, yet I felt pinned under the table the entire meal.
?Noise Level: It's very loud due to the back-to-back seating.

My favorite places to eat seafood around Montreal. The food is always excelent, & everyone there was so kind & welcoming. They've recently expanded the space, so there are more tables now, which makes it even better.
Restaurant dans un petit centre commercial sans charme mais oh que la nourriture est savoureuse. Une belle surprise. Nous avons pris des moules sauce tomate, du fish & chips, une dorade grillée accompagnée de frites croustillantes & une belle salade verte & des crevettes avec légumes grillés.
Il faut commander au comptoir & payer à la caisse. Pas d'alcool pas de café ni de dessert disponible.
Très bon rapport qualité-prix. Compter 40$ pp taxes & service compris. Les portions sont généreuses.
It does not look like much, but the food is simply great, very fresh & reasonably priced. Shrimps are probably the best dish, but I've never had a bad experience, going to come back for more. Dining in is an option, takeout is great & not all plastic.
