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.
This place is far & away from those tourist spots in Montreal but YOU MUST TRY HERE! It's a hidden jam. You basically choose what seafood you want to eat & let them know the size by pound. They will ask whether to grill them or fry, they are all your choice. You can look at the prices online & decide. We ordered half pound shrimp & octopus, a whole seabass, small rice & grilled veggies. Everything was so amazing & price was perfect too. Our portion was really for 3-4 people but we (2) wanted to try different things. It was a lot of food for two ppl but we still ate them all 😂 we were super full at the end but came back home with happy stomach. The owner & everyone else were so kind & friendly.💖
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!
The food is amazing & the staff is great. Really enjoyed our experience today. The only downside is the crowded seating & the strong smell of the seafood. With proper ventilation & a more spacious dining area it would easily be 5 stars.
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 😉
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!
Amazing, fresh & great valued seafood, with full of flavour! Amazed by the quality of the seafood & the Egyptian house-made recipes! Definitely coming back & making this into my go-to seafood spot. Service was impeccable & friendly. I had the pleasure of speaking to the owner & was offered soup on the house. Best seafood soup I've ever had.
Quaint little seafood restaurant serving fish & seafood at a reasonable price. The decor might not be fancy, but don't let that fool you. The food coming out of the kitchen is what it's all about.

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.
Definitely the best seafood restaurant in town! I had the occasion to eat here a few time & they never disappoint. Large portions, fresh food, super tasty & mostly: cooked with love! You can see their passion. They are very welcoming & take time to make sure you have the best service. Sadly I can't put more than 5 stars I will be back here for sure!
Such a gem! So happy we came across this spot, we stopped here on a trip to Montreal & the food is delicious. The octopus salad is a MUST try! Fresh seafood is right there, made to order & the service is outstanding. Everyone was very welcoming to myself & my family, even offered us unique traditional sides to try. I can’t wait to go back one day, hopefully you guys open a location in Mississauga soon lol
