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 consistently earns praise for fresh, flavorful seafood and the option to handpick fish at the counter before it is prepared to order, with standout dishes like octopus salad, grilled octopus, shrimp, calamari, and dorade, all served in generous portions and well presented. The atmosphere is described as warm and family run, with clean premises and friendly, attentive staff; some reviewers note the service can be slow during peak hours and that seating can be crowded. Many say the quality justifies the price and that the overall experience is enjoyable whether dining in or taking seafood home. There are mentions of Mediterranean and Egyptian influences and the concept of a fishmonger with a casual dining setup. A few reviews caution to check prices in advance and to reserve during busy times. Overall the place is seen as a top seafood spot in the area, recommended for fans of fresh fish and a lively, family friendly vibe.
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.

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
Je vous souhaite une très bonne année 2023 & SVP n'arrêtez jamais de travailler comment vous faites car le Monde a besoin des restaurants comment le vôtre: familier à très bonne qualité nourriture-prix.
À vous du restaurant: ne change rien & continue à servire les commensales (presque 100) comment vous faites toujours. BRAVO!!!
Great & fresh seafood. We had the prawns, calamari, fish & chips, tilapia & salmon. If you are a big family it's better to order per lb/kg. Highly recommend.
