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.
Si vous voulez manger du poisson & des fruits de mer c'est la place à visiter ! Leur salade également est exquise sans parler du service à table qui est rapide & efficace! Définitivement recommandé

This is a place we want to return to, & we definitely will. There were four of us, we ordered a little bit of everything, & absolutely every dish was incredibly delicious. I don't usually eat spicy food, but even the spicy shrimp were incredibly tasty. I managed to take just two photos. The service was excellent, especially the guy named Ahmed & the girl Sarah, who were always very attentive to our requests. & of course, I forgot my purse in the restaurant, & Sarah brought it to me all the way to the parking lot. Thank you so much ❤?
Je vous souhaite une très bonne année 2023 & SVP n'arrêtez jamais de travailler comment vous faites car le Monde a besoin des restaurants comment le vôtre: familier à très bonne qualité nourriture-prix.
À vous du restaurant: ne change rien & continue à servire les commensales (presque 100) comment vous faites toujours. BRAVO!!!
If you have never been it's not intuitive to understand the concept of how to order. Would have been nice for the staff to explain that instead of us waiting 10 minutes before being told we needed to order our own food at the counter.
The food itself isn't bad, but the prices are outrageous. A small plate of fries & rice costs nearly $10. For two people, we spent around $160, when we could have had the same amount of food elsewhere for about half the price. The fish is especially overpriced-about double regular market value. Be sure to ask the prices in advance, or you'll end up with a shock on the bill.
J'adore cet endroit, j'y suis aller trois fois au total, & je n'ai jamais été déçue. La nourriture y est excellente & le service impeccable. L'ambiance est très familiale & on sent l'amour derrière la cuisine. Ça fait du bien de tomber sur un restaurant ou la passion & le goût se réunissent à merveille.
Les portions sont généreuses & le personnel toujours aussi aimable. Si vous avez la chance d'y aller, vous devez essayer leur salade de pieuvres qui est pour moi un incontournable. Longue vie à ce restaurant & sa réputation méritée!
