You will find any sea creature you can think of at this place. We went to get some runs and salmon to make some sushi at home. We were recommended by a friend who knows their seafood and we were not disappointed. They have a variety of seafood, sauces, seafood preps and many stuffs. You get to choose your fish from a variety of display, which was cool. Kinda cold in the fridge so take a sweater to stay longer and explore. I will definitely come back to try other items.

This is our first time to shop at La Mer, we are just amazed by this place. With the help from their experts, they will guide you through their selections. So, if you're looking for fresh fish and seafood, you should definitely stop by here.

So happy I found this place! It was by chance as I was driving by on the way to Chinatown so I decided to stop in. There are lots of seafood shops in Montreal, most of them I believe above average but I'd concur this is one of the best. I had just come back from a trip up in Matane, I have a fave place up there to compare to but selection and pricing at La Mer is quite exceptional. The setup as you walk in is the entrance is the specialty food shop with all kinds of wonderful spices, sauces, oils, caviar, wine and worldly food delights. Then off to the left is it's own temperature controlled cooler room with copious amounts of everything seafood on ice. I have not seen a temperature cooler room in a store but it's pretty clever. It also speaks volumes that since the perishability of seafood is quite rapid that they are doing what they can to preserve freshness. Selection of fish is plentiful with lots of fine cuts on display. Selection of oysters is one if not the best I've so far found in MTL. They also had many tanks of lobster and other sea delights on the left side wall. I was interested in getting some oysters for a dinner so I asked what they recommended. One of the fish mongers mentioned the Valentine oyster was good taste and price for value. He also shucked me one to try. Easy enough for me to buy a dozen. Great service! I have got to come back and check out some of the hard to find seafood. Very interesting to see they even had Uni (Sea urchin gonads) and Ahi Tuna. Rarely do you see these at Seafood shops here in Montreal. Also Caspian Sea Caviar could be the only place in Montreal to find this rare delicacy. Check it out! Great selection and prices seem decent!

Fresh uni!

Well-stocked seafood store; they had a few varieties of oysters and they do shucking for you (for an additional fee). They even have uni; the worker was kind enough to let me try one for free to see how fresh it was. I walked away with some scallops (in shell), which were very fresh and tasted clean. Will be back to fix seafood cravings!

Great selection and service! My year-round go-to fish and seafood shop in Montreal! Access and parking a breeze as well.

Was there on Thursday, February 19, 2026. Honestly surprised that there are not more reviews on…read morehere as it was about as a perfect meal/night as I've had at a restaurant. Went there with my brother and sat at the bar. Bartender/server whose name escapes me (Eric? Tall dude with curly hair and a stache) poured excellent cocktails, was extremely knowledgeable about the wine and food and kept our glasses full. We ordered the seafood tower, the Crab toast, and the octopus. They were all obscenely good. Good bottle of wine and too much amaro at the end. Got to meet Chuck Hughes. He was super nice and fun to chat with. The rest of the staff, although not directly "responsible" for us, were taking care of business. Helping each other, making others aware of what is needed at other tables, and all trying their very best to make everyone's night as wonderful as possible. Everyone we came across seemed happy to be there. Ownership should be proud. Thanks for the awesome night. We will be back!

My husband and I visited Garde Manger with my sister and brother-in-law on January 1st for my…read morehusband's birthday. We were greeted at the door and our coats were taken and hung up. We were shown to our table, which was near the entrance in the perfect spot. I loved how they have a curtain at the entrance, so that although it felt like -20 with the windchill, we didn't notice once when people entered or exited. Our waitress introduced herself right away and took our cocktail orders. When she delivered our drinks, she explained how the chef's tasting menu worked and left us for a few minutes to decide which option we would like. We chose 'tier 3' which included a pasta course and extra caviar. Everything we had was amazing, from the seafood tower, to the beef carpaccio, to the hanger steak. It was so much food, we thought we would all burst by the end. The waitress was outstanding and was completely engaged with us throughout the evening. She added so much to our experience. We opted for the wine pairings and she gave us 3 wines as well as an amaro at the end. All in all, it was a meal to remember with a price tag of just under $2,000. Well worth it. We highly recommend this for a special occasion dinner.

A restaurant that is tucked in front of a hotel lobby, so it may be easier if you look for Hotel…read moreEpik instead of Le Polisson. Also, sometimes the restaurant go by the name of Restaurant Epik, like on the credit card receipt. I ordered the chowder. The menu said it's lobster chowder but the waiter informed me it's clam chowder that day. Portion size is quite reasonable for that price. But there was a small piece of clam shell left in my soup. The dessert however was a bit pricey. I could get a better slice of cake from The Keg at that price. The environmental was alright. It was slightly on the cold side because it's at the front of the hotel. The chair wasn't great because the padding was a bit thin. Staff was nice and was prompt.

This was an utter disaster. Where do we begin…read more We allegedly had dinner at this restaurant. Nothing went right. There were maybe 5 tables. We ordered drinks, appetizers and entrees. The drinks were off, the cosmo was sour and we could not finish the mai tai - yes it was that bad. Perhaps we should have to ease the pain. The appetizer arrived a little late but not terribly so - calamari which was good but it came with about 8 pieces -- a little small but at least it was good. Then we waited... and waited... and waited. Other tables that were sat after us, way after us, all received their food. It took about an hour -- one whole hour between the appetizer and entree. We got our food, fish and chips and mussels -- they were both acceptable so let's get that out of the way. The other two dishes were the braised beef and we asked that the fries be upgraded to a poutine and then a salad with chicken add on. The beef came with fries and not poutine, so they had to fix that. We tried the beef... it was salty, as salty as the dead sea. It was awful and inedible. We thought it was perhaps the sauce, but it was not as we tried to dig into the middle of the cut, but it was still salty. The poutine was salty as well but that might have been acceptable if the beef were not over salted. The adventure of the salad was not any better. Asked for the dressing on the side and the salad was covered in the dressing. It came without the chicken so they took it back. It came nearly 20 minutes later, after everyone else finished their entrees -- 20 minutes to prepare a fried chicken breast. Cannot tell you whether it was good or bad as we told them we would not take it. They did the right thing and did not charge us for this entree, but that was it, no other real apologies. Do not come here if you value your time or your money or your general sanity. Disappointing.

Went here last night in the Old Port and had such a great experience at Porto Mar. You need to…read morecheck them out ASAP! Our server Alex was super chill and attentive, and one of the owners, Melanie, came by and was incredibly kind. We even got the chance to speak with the chef, which made the whole experience feel really personal. Food-wise, everything was fresh and full of flavor. The spicy shrimp were a standout so delicious, I'd go back just for those. I had the turbot (yes, it's a real fish ) and it was cooked perfectly. The potatoes on the side were also amazing. We also had a seafood medley with rice (loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp, salmon, cod basically everything) and it was super saucy and satisfying. Drinks were on point too loved my old fashioned. To finish, we had a porto-braised pear with ice cream and it was honestly the perfect dessert. Beautiful location, especially if you can grab a window seat. Definitely a spot we'll be going back to.

This restaurant seems rather large and had a variety of tables (and a bar). There's also apparently…read moretwo doors to get in. We ended up coming in through not the main door. But we were seated at a table for two upon arrival with no reservations. The interior had a lot of nice wood natural looking items, but it also felt a little dated. But the holiday decoration did look really nice. Our waitress was nice. We ordered our dinner and she made sure we always had water. Service was a little slow though especially in the beginning (to take our order) and at the end (to get our check and then pay). We did come in right before they were shutting down for an extended holiday period. They served table bread and olive (with their pits). Ended up ordering an evening table that came with an app, main, and dessert. I got the grilled chorizo, salmon and chocolate mousse. We also got the pork scallops. They didn't have the Portuguese soup at this time. The chorizo was good, the sausage casing had a crispiness and snap to it. The salmon was fine and it came with some potato hash and vegetables. The portion was a little small for me. The pork scallops was also good, pork slices that were topped with a meaty, garlicky sauce. It also came with potato hash and some vegetables. The portion was a little a little small. The chocolate mouse was good and nice way to end the meal.
