Restaurant Le Canal propose une expérience culinaire méditerranéenne axée sur la préparation rigoureuse de produits marins frais et d'ingrédients traditionnels. Le menu privilégie les poissons entiers grillés, les plateaux de crustacés et les légumes de saison assaisonnés à l'huile d'olive et aux herbes aromatiques. Les clients observent une configuration de cuisine ouverte où les produits de la mer subissent une saisie à haute température afin de préserver l'humidité et la texture naturelle. Chaque plat utilise le sel, le citron et l'ail comme composants fondamentaux pour mettre en valeur la qualité de la matière première. Les espaces intérieurs privilégient des agencements de places fonctionnels facilitant l'observation directe du processus de cuisson. L'environnement maintient une température constante et un éclairage vif pour assurer une visibilité optimale de toutes les préparations proposées.
Restaurant Le Canal est largement reconnu comme une destination de choix pour savourer des fruits de mer frais et savoureux dans la région de Montréal, offrant une expérience authentique où les clients choisissent eux-mêmes leur poisson pour une préparation experte. Le menu se distingue par un poulpe grillé exceptionnel, des crevettes parfaitement cuites et des calamars délicieux, le tout servi en portions généreuses offrant un excellent rapport qualité prix. Bien que l'ambiance soit animée et décontractée, la gentillesse du personnel et la qualité constante des plats en font une adresse incontournable pour les familles et les amateurs de produits de la mer, bien qu'il soit conseillé de réserver pour profiter de cette salle très fréquentée.
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!
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.
A lot of people even it's passed lunch time. Better to make reservations. You pick up what you want to eat at the fish counter. They will prepare it for you. Tiger shrimps highly recommended. Love the octopus.
If you like seafood, this is the best spot. Buy your groceries & have a quick sea bass lunch, perfect 👌. I had the sea bass, not recommended if you don't like fish bones, you should get a fillet instead. Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, even the rice & salade camr seasoned perfecly. The food is healthy & tasty & not too expensive. I definitely recommend this place. 4.7/5
I loved the concept: a good fishmonger with tables. It sounds deceptively simple, but it really works! We got to pick our fresh fish, octopus, shrimp, etc. ourselves, then had it cooked according to our specifications & served immediately. The result was delicious & very fresh seafood, provided at decent prices & presented with a smile.
The batter on our shrimp was impossibly light & flaky, while keeping a consistent crunch; it was like an even lighter tempura. Paired with the rich seasonings, it made one of the best shellfish dishes I've ever had.
The décor references the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean & the Red Sea, & the regional flavours elevate the experience a step further, making this a unique dining experience on the West Island.
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.
