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 est largement salué pour ses fruits de mer ultra frais, une carte variée et flexible et une ambiance chaleureuse et familiale qui met les clients à l'aise que ce soit sur place ou à emporter; le système au comptoir permet de choisir les fruits de mer au poids et de les faire préparer sur place, avec de nombreux plats salués pour leur saveur, leur qualité et leurs portions généreuses à un prix raisonnable; l'ambiance est décontractée et animée aux heures d'affluence, il est donc conseillé de réserver, le personnel est régulièrement décrit comme aimable et attentif, et l'expérience globale est souvent présentée comme délicieuse, fraîche et bien présentée.
Food was overall good, but my mom & I have food poisoning from the grilled octopus. It was the worst night & following day of my life, & we were the only ones who ate it - I ate most of it. I'm still experiencing symptoms as I'm writing this.
This restaurant is a standout for their green salad-perfect for those who prefer a smoother, dressing-driven vibe! The scallops were marinated beautifully in lemon, garlic, & butter, though 4 pieces felt a bit light for the price. Highlights included amazing crispy fries, flavourful rice, & tender fried calamari. A great seafood spot worth checking out!
It was the best experience I've ever had in Montreal, & the best seafood I've ever eaten in my entire life 😂♥?♥?♥? I'm so happy with this place it's very far from me but definitely I will come again 👌🏼♥?

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.
C'est un très bon restaurant. Les fruits de mer sont frais & ont un très bon goût. L'attitude de service du personnel est également très bonne & impeccable?chaleureux.
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.
