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.
Je suis passé le samedi en apres midi, j'ai etait tres bien accueilli, les serveurs sont dynamiques, souriant. & surtout la nourriture qui etait parfaite on sens la fraisheur des produits. Vrziment je recommande a tous les amateurs de poisson.
I recently visited Le Canal & unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The service was poor from start to finish, with very little attention given to customers. Staff seemed uninterested & difficult to reach throughout the meal.
The biggest issue was the extremely long wait time for the food. We waited far too long before our order arrived, with no updates or apologies from the staff. Overall, the lack of service & organization made the experience frustrating rather than enjoyable. I would not recommend this restaurant based on my visit.

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!
Le Canal, c'est vraiment la perfection. Une fraîcheur incroyable, des produits d'une qualité exceptionnelle & un travail impeccable dans chaque détail. Tout est savoureux, bien présenté & préparé avec beaucoup de soin & amour. Merci à Mohamed pour son professionnalisme, sa gentillesse & son service irréprochable. Franchement, une adresse qui mérite d'être connue & recommandée.

You can really tell care & attention go into the kitchen here. Highly recommend for anyone who values fresh, delicious food & a great dining experience.
J'ai visité Le Canal à Montréal & j'ai vraiment adoré !
L'ambiance est chaleureuse & cosy, le service est super attentionné, & les plats sont délicieux, surtout les portions sont généreuses & les prix restent raisonnables pour la qualité.
Je recommande vivement pour un dîner calme ou une sortie entre amis.
J'y retournerai sans hésite
A lot of people even it's passed lunch time. Better to make reservations. You pick up what you want to eat at the fish counter. They will prepare it for you. Tiger shrimps highly recommended. Love the octopus.
If you like seafood, this is the best spot. Buy your groceries & have a quick sea bass lunch, perfect 👌. I had the sea bass, not recommended if you don't like fish bones, you should get a fillet instead. Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, even the rice & salade camr seasoned perfecly. The food is healthy & tasty & not too expensive. I definitely recommend this place. 4.7/5
Si vous voulez manger du poisson & des fruits de mer c'est la place à visiter ! Leur salade également est exquise sans parler du service à table qui est rapide & efficace! Définitivement recommandé
