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.
Je suis habituer d aller a ce restau j'ai cru que tout est frais il y a qlq semaine j ai vu la personne qui prends les commandes retire un sac d anchois du frigo & le mets dans la place ou il y a les glacons
Est ce que c est normal de vendre du poissons congeler alors que les gens pensent que c est frais

Multiple vital pieces of equipment & public infrastructure were out of order during my visit, with absolutely no warning signs posted. I wasted valuable time trying to utilize facilities that were fundamentally broken. The lack of basic communication regarding broken systems shows a complete disregard for the visitor experience & highlights terrible maintenance schedules.
Food is delicious! Great variety of fresh seafood that they prepare from scratch. Loved the grilled octopus & fried seafood plate too. Service is kind. Place is packed & noisy but it's because it is so popular.

Definitely a fish market with a restaurant...the food is worth the visit...the servers need to be a bit more friendly. They place your food on the table & walk away. What if it wasn't your food? Overall.. definitely would go again when in the area.
Fantastic Egyptian fish!!!! This is as good as - if not better - than fish we get in Egypt!! Feels like im in Cairo, or Hurghada, or Sharm… yummy yummy fish. The kids devoured the salad, the shrimps, the mussels, the fish…. We all devoured & enjoyed everything & did not once stop to take pictures. Service is a little slow because they were busy (which they deserve!) but the staff are kind & friendly. Will be coming back for sure!
Fantastic experience at Le Canal. The food was incredibly fresh, full of flavor, & clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every dish was well-prepared, beautifully presented, & served hot. You can really tell care & attention go into the kitchen here. Highly recommend for anyone who values fresh, delicious food & a great dining experience.

Absolutely outstanding experience. From the moment you walk inside, you can feel the good energy & good intention behind this family's restaurant. The food is out of this world, the service is attentive, the place is very clean, the atmosphere is warm (the different patrons speak to each other) - really a family experience.
