Excellent fish restaurant! The seafood was very fresh & full of flavor. The fried dishes were perfectly cooked - crispy, light, & not oily or heavy at all, which made them very enjoyable. You can really notice the quality & freshness of the ingredients.
What made the experience even more special was the flexibility of the menu. The staff offered many options beyond what was listed & were happy to personalize dishes based on our preferences. The service was warm, attentive, & welcoming.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious seafood & a customized dining experience. I will definitely be back!

Fresh Seafood in MTL! Prepared by order. Tried their calamari, shrimp & big fishes with rice, fries & the salad is just so good!! Very friendly staff. Coming again with the family!
I was there today with my husband & it was my first time. We had the fish & chips & the calamari dish & they were amazing! They looked so delicious I immediately started eating & forgot to take a photo, but believe me they look better than the photos. Everything about the dishes was good: the fish & the calamari tasted very fresh, the salad had a very tasty dressing, the fries were amazing & so was the rice. The gentleman who served us was very nice & friendly. At the time that we went, approx 3:30 pm, there was only 2 other customers there so it wasn't too busy. I highly recommend it, would definitely go there again to try other things on the menu
Their food is always very good. The fishes are fresh & very tasty. Excellent customer service. They serve two types of rice, yellow & brown. I have tried both of them many times & I find the rice to be very undercooked to my likings. Otherwise everything is delicious.
I recently discovered this hidden gem! their high quality fish is very very fresh & what keeps me going back is the salmon tartare over avocado cake! I've have it three times so far & it's just as delicious as it is beautiful. The owner Sam is lovely & Mazen takes great care of customers. Very happy to have discovered this restaurant.

Absolutely loved this place! The seafood was insane super fresh, perfectly cooked, & full of flavor. You can really tell they care about quality. The service was also great super friendly & attentive without being over the top. The restaurant has this cool old-school vibe that makes it feel cozy & nostalgic, like a hidden gem from another era. Can't wait to go back! Highly recommend if you're into amazing seafood & a laid-back vibes .
