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.
I recently discovered this restaurant & I am officially hooked! They have incredibly fresh sea food that you can choose from over the counter. Don't let yourself get fooled by what the interior looks like - everything is in the quality of the food. The shrimps & the octopus salad are delicious - & the fries…unexpectedly the best I have ever had in my life!
This a great place for fresh fish & chips at a reasonable price. Parking is not a problem as it's located at a small shopping plaza. Of course there are other things on the menu like shrimp & octopus if that's what you fancy. The place is not huge & it's simplistic inside with basic chairs & table & an all glass storefront so the ambiance of the place is not one of its selling points. You need to place your order at the cash once you've studied the menu & they give you a number to place at your table where they will deliver your food to you. Take note that you can buy fresh fish & seafood there to make your own meals at home. We've been there 3 times already when we visit the west island as we reside in Ontario. Staff are super friendly & helpful which always makes for a more enjoyable meal.

J'ai visité Le Canal à Montréal & j'ai vraiment adoré !
L'ambiance est chaleureuse & cosy, le service est super attentionné, & les plats sont délicieux, surtout les portions sont généreuses & les prix restent raisonnables pour la qualité.
Je recommande vivement pour un dîner calme ou une sortie entre amis.
J'y retournerai sans hésite
