I found myself in the area around Square Victoria metro recently and knew that there was a Brit &…read moreChips in the area (but wasn't sure where) on McGill Avenue but since I knew that there was also a Five Guys in the area, I felt that if I didn't find Brit & Chips, I would just go to Five Guys if I found it. I did find both Five Guys and Brit & Chips (they are on opposite sides of the street) on McGill Avenue south of St Jacques. I had eaten at a Brit & Chips location before when they had a restaurant near Guy-Concordia metro (maybe about ~10 years ago) when I worked in a building which was close to the Green line so convenient to go there for lunch since it was less than 10 minutes away from my place of work at the time whereas for me to get to this location from where I worked would have taken about twice as long since it would have meant transferring from the green line to the orange line. On the day that I went to that location back then, I did remember that it wasn't that busy and I was the only customer. Unfortunately, that Brit & Chips restaurant did not survive. I did remember that the fish was very good so decided to go to this Brit & Chips since they had a lunch special. The staff were very friendly and greeted me in French and while I'm bilingual, I answered in English and the server replied to me in English. I was asked whether I was eating in or wanted something take out. I told the person that I was eating in and he told me that I could sit "anywhere" so I picked a seat in the back. I went to the washroom to wash my hands and then returned to my seat. I was asked whether I was ready to order and I mentioned that I was so the person motioned to the server and she asked me what I wanted. I asked her what I could get for their $19 lunch special and she told me that it was any of the 3 fish and chips dishes on the menu. I quickly looked at it and made my choice based on the server's recommendation (cod) and also decided to have a beer. The beer was brought immediately to my table and the food was put on my table a few minutes later (maybe 4 minutes later). The battered fish wasn't as good or prepared as well as I remember from the other location nor was it the best battered fish that I've had. The fries (chips) were good. The dipping sauce was also very good. What I didn't like about the way my battered fish was prepared was that when I cut into it, the hollow or "air pockets" of the fish/batter was dripping with oil. I know that the battered fish is deep fried so some oil is to be expected but I felt that it was "a lot" of oil that came out when I cut into my fish. The restaurant wasn't too busy at the time that I went (it wasn't empty nor was I the only customer there throughout my meal since as people left, others came in). I also didn't feel rushed. I showed up about 15 minutes before 2pm (their lunch special ends at 2pm... which I interpret to mean that the customer needs to enter and order before 2pm). In terms of whether I would return, I'm unsure since I'm rarely if ever at Square Victoria and for the orange line in downtown Montreal, I'm generally either at Place D'Armes or Bonaventure. If I exit Square Victoria metro, I would have no aversion to returning if I felt like fish & chips but would also just be as likely to try a different restaurant in the area. When downtown, I'm generally around the green line area. Yes, I know that in the underground city/tunnels you can get from McGill metro to Square Victoria metro without taking the metro but it is a very long walk indoors (from McGill metro station to Eaton Centre to the tunnel to Place Ville Maria to Central Station to the tunnel at Bonaventure station and a long walk indoors, one winds up in Square Victoria metro and exiting Square Victoria metro and going outside, walking a few blocks, less than 5 minutes or so away is Brit & Chips. Depending on the weather, if one didn't want to take the metro but was at McGill metro, it might be faster to just walk there directly above ground (outdoors) but then again with the traffic lights, it might not save that much time but would save a lot of walking (and perhaps going up a few flights of stairs since some escalators generally don't work). I would rate this place as 3.5 stars which I've rounded up to a 4 since I don't feel right lowering it to a 3.

Tonight was a fish & chips night. Found this place near our air bnb…read more A cozy spot with a few tables, mostly counter service; now that the weather is nicer, there are tables and umbrellas outside on the sidewalk. The clientele is a cross section of the general population of Montreal. Young and old, families and couples. They have waiter service. The fish part of the "fish and chips"was not greasy or soggy. Which can often be the case if the oil is not hot enough. They have their own signature tartar sauce that comes with the meal. There are plenty of chips that come with the fish that are well seasoned and cooked to order. I didn't see any sitting in a stainless steel bin waiting to be delivered to the customer. The kitchen is partially open so you can see in and see what they're doing if that's your preference or if you're curious. As we were leaving,the cook was at one of the counters, eating his own food. That's a good sign!

Just left this place with my 3 kids, hubby and mother in law. This was the 3rd time we went here…read more We used to like it, the food is good, pretty pricey but since the food is good, we still come here. However, the man who runs the restaurant got mad at us for simply using American Express. My husband asked him if he can pay by credit card, he said yes. My husband, put the card in, like the usual and paid. The man noticed after the transaction that it was American Express and he all of a sudden burst out which caught everybody's attention & telling my husband that American Express is not a credit card (what????) and talking to him as if my husband is an idi*t. Im glad my husband kept his cool bcoz his mom was there. It is not our fault that it caused them some fee for getting payment from Amex. He could have specified that they only accept Visa or MC. We came, eat and paid, he even got a tip of course! We are good customer but definitely doesn't deserve the treatment after the payment fiasco. Bottomline, we will definitely not coming back here anymore bcoz of his attitude. Cant help but spread the word to my family and friends. Attached photo with rice & salad is $70.00 + tax.

Po boy shrimp sandwich was on my mind, my friends are in New Orleans and that's one of their specialities. I INSTANLY wanted to have those delicious fried coated shrimp with all the fixings. I searched on yelp "po boy sandwiches" I got a few hits but OFISH stood out. They had exactly what I wanted and it wasn't to far. Called for a pickup as we wanted to go by the water on this glorious +8 sunshine day in Montreal. We got two sandwiches and 1/2 of bang bang shrimp. DELICIOUS is the first word that came to mind as soon as I unwrapped my sandwiches and mmm was second after my first bite. Sandwich had all the fixings... crusty bread, lettuce, mayo, tomatoes PICKLES and of course delicious little shrimp which were battered perfectly. It was not messy it was fresh and made with love. I highly recommend grabbing one. The bang bang shrimp are delicious covered in a mayo dressing reminded me a bit of the Big Mac sauce with shredded lettuce and sesame seed you can't go wrong. Fantastic shrimps I tell ya. You will also be pleased to know there's 15% off when you take it to go. Students get a little freebie as well free fries and drink so you can't go wrong. What a great find ! Will be back soon :)

Fish and chips - the cod was well cooked was fried well but nothing really stood out here from the typical fish and chips I get at the pub. The fries were also soggy. They put it under the fish which doesn't help. The veggies seemed like an after thought and doesn't make the dish more special. Eggs Benedict- pretty basic here. No unique taste or add on to make it different. Salmon- I picked a fish from the display for them to cook and the fish was cooked well. However, the piece of lettuce with Parmesan and those croquettes underneath did not complement the salmon at all. It looked like an after thought.
