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.
I did the salmon fillet take. Note if you order by phone there are two sizes to the salmon filet large $20 per filet & small $10 per. Quality & taste are the same.... excellent. My man Mo is usually on the case & takes good care of you.... calamari also a good choice.
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!
We ran into this hidden gem by accident & we were tremendously surprised, everything was delicious, we had grilled tiger shrimp (the best I've ever had), fried calamari, fish & chips & salmon, every dish was better than the previous one... great food, great service, impeccably clean & on top of that reasonable prices.

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.
