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.
Food was incredible, one of the best octopus dishes I've had! We were served quickly & prices were more than acceptable. Highly recommend & will be going back again! ❤️
First time & I must say Best seafood in town. Where ever I go I must try the fish & chips being locally or when we travel. Best fish & chips since our last trip to Europe. My wife had the salmon, & it was awesome Their service is amazing, friendly & food is cooked fresh! Highly recommend this place, keep it up !! We will be back.
Great Egyptian seafood resto. Food is delicious, service is good & well priced. Tables & chairs are a bit close to each other, however the overall experience is worth a try. I recommend!

Most recommended place to try sea food. If you don't like seafood you need to come to this place it will definitely change your mind. Here are my recommended dishes if you don't like seafood: -Octopus with the large salad. The octopus taste like wet chicken (it's like chicken curry, but more wet). This is how you need to eat the octopus: take a small portion of the salad & then take a small portion of the octopus & have more salad, make sure everything is mixed & you have more salad than octopus. -Scallops Take small portions & dip it into the shrimp cocktail sauce. -Lobster Take a small portion dip it into provided sauce. The salad will be your best friend & also potato wedges will help you as well 😉

For Ramadan, they gave us dates, soups & juice for free. That was unexpected & very generous of them. The food was excellent as usual & the service was exceptional. 100% recommend☺️
Hands down one of the best restaurants in Montreal. Everything is so fresh, seasoned & cooked to perfection. I recommend the grilled octopus & the scallops. The grilled shrimp are also great. Honestly, this is some of the best seafood I've ever had. The service is also very quick & friendly!
Outstanding, Outstanding, Outstanding!!!!! If you want authentic Egyptian seafood or the best seafood you ever had, this is the place to be. When you walk in, the fresh seafood is right there on the counter over ice, you pick what you want & have it grilled of fried. Grilled or fried, you can't go wrong. The season the fish with wonderful Egyptians spices. I recommend the octopus gilled, the jumbo tiger shrimp & seabass grilled with veg. We also ordered the seafood soup & it was also incredible. The décor is nothing outstanding but who cares, the food is what you are there for. Don't think twice, reserve your spot & go.
