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.
Ate here over the weekend & the food was incredible, very delicious & seasoned impeccably. The issue I had was the waiter who greeted only my fiancé & completely disregarded me to the point where he had his back turned to me & was only talking & addressing my fiancé. To be so blatantly disrespectful to someone who just walked into your restaurant was really sad especially when the food is incredible. If you do not like serving people or even being a decent human being & acknowledging every person the same, you shouldn't be working in the public.
If your local for the best freshest sea food this place is a must . The calamari is actually fantastic not to chewy & lightly breaded . The octopus was a perfect appetizer not over salty like I many places . The owner son gave us friendly welcome & checked up on us a bunch . This place is must
Fish lovers delight, they can grill, bake, BBQ, & fry your food. Clean place offering tasty sea food, fast service with delicious & affordable choices. You will be satisfied.
Le meilleur poisson à Montréal !! Décoration minimaliste pour laisser place à un du poisson frais & exquis !! Le poulpe fond tel du beurre ! Mention spéciale pour les serveurs ainsi que le reste du personnel qui sont très très serviables & toujours souriants !
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
Best grilled shrimp I have ever had. Great healthy options. Dine-in experience is great, especially for a nice family meal. Pick up can sometimes have a very long wait time. Salmon filets were a bit overcooked.
