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 offre une expérience de fruits de mer frais dans une ambiance familiale et décontractée au bord du canal, avec des saveurs méditerranéennes et des influences égyptiennes qui séduisent les amateurs de poisson. Les clients peuvent choisir leur poisson au comptoir et le faire préparer sur place, ce qui donne des plats généreux et bien présentés. Le service est globalement chaleureux et attentif, mais peut être un peu lent lorsque la salle est occupée, tandis que la propreté et l'ambiance conviviale renforcent l'impression d'une expérience familiale. Les plats phares incluent poulpe grillé, crevettes, calamars et dorade, les portions sont généreuses et le rapport qualité-prix est généralement jugé favorable pour la fraîcheur et la présentation. Certains avis notent des temps d'attente et des écarts en fonction de l'affluence, et un cas isolé d'intoxication alimentaire attribué à un plat de poulpe. Dans l'ensemble, Le Canal est souvent recommandé et les visiteurs promettent de revenir pour la fraîcheur des produits, la diversité des plats et l'accueil chaleureux.
It does not look like much, but the food is simply great, very fresh & reasonably priced. Shrimps are probably the best dish, but I've never had a bad experience, going to come back for more. Dining in is an option, takeout is great & not all plastic.

The best sea food restaurant not only in the West Island but the whole Montreal , it's a big must if you are a sea food lover , recommend 1000000% love it fresh like always !
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.
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.

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.
Amazing seafood experience! Everything was incredibly fresh & perfectly cooked. The flavors were rich, the presentation was beautiful, & the portions were generous. The staff was friendly & attentive, making the whole experience even better. A must-visit for any seafood lover - I'll definitely be coming back! 🦞🍤

Pretty good place! You can choose exactly how much you want because everything is priced by weight. It's super flexible - just pick the portion you feel like eating. The food is quite fresh too, which makes the whole experience really enjoyable.
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.
