Brit & Chips

Really liked this place. The waitress was friendly and took the time to answer questions. Lots of different choices of batters and fish — even had a delicious vegetarian version of fish (actually harloumi cheese) that was battered. The servings were plentiful and the there was one beer on tap and several other bottled choices. The mushy peas were good. The atmosphere was very casual, and the prices were reasonable for the area.

After living in Calgary for the past year I was anxious to enjoy some decent fish and chips. When I learned of Brit and Chips during my long weekend trip to Montréal I knew I had to check it out.
I have to say I was suitably impressed. It reminded me of the Fish and Chips back in Australia! If you are up for some Fish and Chips in Montréal then this has to be on the top of your list.

Love this place. Soooooo fresh! And local beers! And very reasonably priced. And super friendly service.
Has outdoor seating, although I think the indoor atmosphere is what really makes this place. Would recommend to anyone visiting Montréal.

Small hole in the wall but good service and good food. Some of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Also tried the tandoori shrimp snack which was excellent.

What makes this chippery THE place for fish and chips in Montréal? The batter. Each fish is fried in a differently flavored batter; a stroke which develops the taste of the fish itself rather than masking it. My wife and I had cod and haddock and found both perfectly cooked with the accompanying chips better than any we’ve sampled elsewhere (including several chip shops in the UK and Éire). Beer menu isn’t long, but it’s choice. Service is fast, professional, and pleasant. We’ll be back.

I ve been wanting to go to this place for a long time. They have a reputation for making one of the best fish & chip and they live up to it. I ordered the burgundy batters, I was not disappointed. You get 2 pieces of fish and you can order chips for extra.

Friendly service, fish is so fresh, great atmosphere!
The «$$» from Unilocal fooled me, for a fish & chips is C$ 12.5, I think it is a very reasonable price! The place is packed with people during lunch hour and a lot of people waited for their take-​out orders, you can tell it is a good place to eat.

Having lived in the UK for almost 2 years, I was delighted to discover this little joint! It’s quite cozy and they have outside seating during the summer. It’s not spacious but well enough themed. The décor doesn’t seemed to have changed since I first visited about 3 years ago. I always end up getting fish of the month which is tasty! Just wished that they would dab off the oil a bit after removing it from the fryer. Or at least changed oils often for frying. Prices are reasonable for the portions. Apart from tandoori shrimps, the accompaniments are disappointing. Always tried fish and chips so can’t comment on the pies or anything else. Beers are a fun selection.
Was always tempted to try the deep fried whatever but the portions are so huge, never ended up having courage to stuff up more with food.
Overall, it’s one of my frequently visited joints for lunch. Reasonably priced, and they offer spc discount too! I have enjoyed everytime I went to Brit and chips.

Wasn’t really a fan of fish & chips after trying some not so good ones in London. But when we decided to try this place out. Let’s just say we finished what we ordered.
I ordered the haddock fish with maple syrup batter. Sweet & salty = perfect! The fish inside was cooked well and the batter outside was crispy. The chips were great too. Real sliced potatoes! Whilst, my mom got the sole fish with the sour cream & onion batter.
I must say they did not disappoint. Wish we had this in New York City!

It was on a cold wintery day, my first winter in Montréal and I was missing home terribly (I am from the UK). I told my husband I really felt like some «chips» so he got me a bag of Lays originals :/​After making it clear that chips in the UK = fat fries/​potatoes, that evening, after a little research, he discovered Brit and Chips. We went for a small walk, not too far by the old port and as soon as we were unable to bear the cold, rushed to this very cute and cosy restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised to see the traditional ‘chippy’ interior with the metal counters and deep fryers exactly as if it were in the UK! We had amazing cod fish fried in tasty batter and the chips tasted as if I was having them back home… I was in heaven! I couldn’t even believe that just like the chippies in Scotland, they even did deep fried chocolate bars! My husband was just too curious and ordered a snickers one. It was delicious!
I love how they have put a twist to the traditional British chippy by giving it a local touch. By introducing various batter flavours (such as maple syrup) different deep fried chocolates than the original Mars bars and adding sauces. There is a lot of choice but you can even go there for a good old British cuppa! They also do the famous ‘99’ Ice cream which I cannot wait to try out in Summer!
Overall we both loved this place and I will probably be back there soon when I am feeling homesick! :)

Great small place with a wonderful atmosphere and awesome service. The menu is diverse. Got the cod and chips with tandoori popcorn shrimp to start. So delicious. Great burgundy batter with the cod.

Located on Mcgill Street in Old Montréal (not to be confused with Mcgill College), I went over to Brit & Chips for lunch and had the Cod with Burgundy batter. So good. I am a huge fan of fish ‘n chips to begin with so I am a bit of an easy sell. What this place has over other spots is the variety of different types of fish and batters they offer their clients. When I go, I usually go with the cod or haddock but I am told that the Sole and the Salmon are amazing. The chips too, I must say, are great.
You can get beer or wine but I usually find that I am WAYYYYY too bloated after if I grab a brew or two so I usually stick to water. So heavy. So greasy. So good. If you are a fan of fish ‘n chips, check this spot out.
***They have deep fried chocolate bars. It seems to be a rotating menu. I have not had them yet since, again, I am usually really full by the end of my meal but I am told that they too are good.

I’m a Brit so you can take this review to the bank.
I grew up on a stable diet of fish and chips from my local «chippy» and moving to Canada I missed the experience and taste of good quality fish and chips. No matter where you go in North America I feel like I am always served fish and fries instead of a proper chip. Then I found Brit n chips in Montréal!
I’ve been there a few times but only got round to reviewing it after my visit today. I went in at lunch time and the place was packed but staff still said hello to me and service was super speedy. On this occasion I ordered a portion of cod and chips and a portion of salmon and chips. I also had a side of mushy peas which are pretty authentic and true to what you’d find in good old Blighty.
The fish is always cooked expertly and the variety of batters on offer is excellent. For instance, my salmon was cooked in a Guiness batter.
As for the chips they are actual chips and not fries. They are lightly salted by the staff after cooking and served in faux newspaper which is a very nice touch. Tartar sauce and lemon comes included with the meal but you can ask for extra if needed.
Overall I couldn’t speak highly enough of this excellent tribute to fine British cuisine!

Came here for lunch one day with my friends.
We had the fish of the day which was the sole in Cajun batter. Then we had the sole in their regular batter. My friend had the cod which was delicious. And another friend had the salmon filet which was okay.
The scotch eggs were just okay. We also had the fritters which I’m not too big of a fan of fritters.
But overall the food was good service was friendly. We definitely are too much! I’d love to come back for some more of the cod.

Excellent fish and chips! Super accueil et service. Malheureusement étant enceinte et prise de nausée au milieu de mon repas je n’ai pu finir. La serveuse m’a gentiment fait un doggy bag. Et même réchauffé au four c’était excellent au petit déjeuner le lendemain matin.

Visited twice, the first time I had the classic cod and Burgundy Lion batter. I was pleased that the chips were as close to proper British chips that I’ve had in North America. The fish was light and flakey and the batter was golden and crispy.
On my second visit I opted for one of their chicken and leek pie. (The waitress did mention that it was their fish they were famous for). Sadly the pie was not to the standards of the fish. The centre was very dry and unappetizing.
One fun and unique thing about Brit and Chips is their chocolate bar and crisp selection. Authentic products right from the UK. They also offer cider if you want a truly British experience!
Both times I have been they have had deep fried chocolate bars on the menu. Get them. Thank me later.

Un fish and chips qui s’approche vraiment de la perfection. Ma 2e visite et toujours aussi bon!

My last meal in Montréal did not rhyme with wooteen sadly, but it did feature a firey fish and chips number from this fine establishment.
This part of town looks as if it recently came into some money, so it has a more posh exterior than the rest of Montréal, and while it lacks that North American Euro anytown look and feel so pervasive in the rest of the city, I kind of like it. It’s clean, well maintained, and pretty quiet.
But, enough about that… onto the food! The fish was fried expertly, with a crisp finish and flaky interior. The chips were fat, plump and greased up just so to give off that perfect glisten. I had the poisson du mois, which is not only fun to say, but also fun to eat. This particular mois featured a sole with jerk batter that gave the fish a wee bit of kick.
I also love the origin story of the place that is on the menu, on the wall, and even on the paper in the basket, below the fish and chips.

J’ai bien aime ce petit resto que j’ai essaye durant le lunch. Le service a ete rapide et sympatique. Les prix sont raisonnables et les assiettes genereuses et appetissantes. Les differentes panures sont originales et gouteuses.
J’ai aime la panure a la biere guinness et celle au sirop d’erable. La salade de langoustine est delicieuse. Les frites sont bonnes.
Une belle experience gustative pour un lunch rapide.

Excellent fish-​n-​chips! The chicken and leek pie was pre-​cooked and ready to go for a quick meal — and tasty! Small place, but lots of character.

Service rapide et courtois ! Mignon petit restaurant et nourriture délicieuse ! J’ai pris le saumon avec la panure Guinness et c’était vraiment bon ! Mon chum a pris le poisson du mois de la morue bleu panure hawaïenne jambon ananas et c’était tout aussi délicieux ! C’était mon premier Fish n chips et je dois dire que c’était très réussi ! Ce restaurant m’avait été recommandé par un ami a mon chum et je né suis pas déçue ! Ça vaut le déplacement et les prix sont également très abordable !

Amazing! A *best ever* for us…
Simple perfection, the menu includes many types of fish, pies and Brit items.
While the summer rain fell outside, we opted for the Cod and Chips, and the Tandoori Shrimp to share.
This was the right amount of food for two…
Cod and Chips… melt in your mouth fish, phenomenal crust, cooked just right. Chips were not from the freezer… yum!
Tandoori Shrimp… warm mild flavor, so good!
Our last dining experience in beautiful Montréal was without a doubt my favorite!

Bön fish and chips !
Il y a du choix dans les poissons et le résultat est convaincant bien que parfois un peu lourd à la fin du plat !
Ils possèdent aussi une terrasse qui permet de pouvoir profiter du soleil pendant son repas.
En entrée je vous recommande les acras de morue qui sont vraiment bonne.

After having visited at least 50 chippers (95% of them in London) I’m frankly surprised to say this one now belongs to the of the Top5 for me!
Cod’n’chips was lovely, fish was fine as well as were the chips which in so many other fish & chips places sadly are left as not crispy at all. Pint of Burgundy Lion Ale nicely finished the experience.
I guess it’s politically incorrect to say «in your face Parti Québécois» but since I’m a Finn I really don’t care: One of the quintessential proper traditional British restaurants is right in your front door, take that!

I was served beautiful pieces of moist fish encased in a crispy batter shell. Alongside came tartar sauce and a perfect wedge of lemon to follow every bite. I also took the option of chips (french fries) which were nicely crispy on the outside. Soon enough, I look down on my plate and there was only an oily sheet of newspaper. I didn’t realize how fast I was devouring the fish n chips. Definitely the best I’ve had in my life so far.
Of course, fish n chips aren’t just the only things worth trying out at Brit & Chips. You’d be missing out if you didn’t try the imported Ben Shaws soft drink. I don’t think that there are many places in Montréal offering these drinks. If you like cream soda then you should absolutely try Ben Shaws’ because it just puts any cream soda to shame.
As for desserts, I had a deep-​fried Wunderbar chocolate bar which was somewhat excessive but it was surprisingly good! The melting chocolate and caramel concoction is held together with bits of peanut in the center by which everything is inside a layer of crunchy batter. So good! Definitely worth trying.

Super de l accueil au service jusqu à l assiete délicieuse et le tarif vraiment raisonnable juste génial merci pour se bon repas continuer comme ça

Franchement décevant pour un resto de spécialité.
Ils sont situés dans un de mes coins préférés du Vieux-​Montréal à proximité de la dernière rue éclairé au gaz de ville. On m’y accueille chaleureusement dans la langue de Molière. La décoration y est sobre, soigné et propre.
Le menu est à ma surprise relativement varié pour un restaurant de spécialité. Mais je né me suis pas déplacé par cette soirée orageuse pour manger un patté à la viande même si il est d’inspiration britannique. Parmi le choix de poisson offert je jette mon dévolue sur le Fish & chips à la morue bleue. J’ai été déçu de se qu’on m’a servi. Avant de continuer je dois ici faire une parenthèse (oui encore une). Ma mère à force d’acharnement est arrivée à faire des Fish & chips aux dorées vraiment difficile à battre mais pas vraiment de style britannique. Je suis donc très exigeant et rarement satisfait de ce qu’on m’offre au resto dans ce domaine. J’ai aussi fait un voyage en Grande Bretagne et comme vous le savez quand on est pas très riche le Fish & chips est probablement la seule chose que l’on a les moyens de manger régulièrement. Je n’apprécie pas ce mélange de patte à frire croustillante à l’extérieur et mole à l’intérieur se fusionnant avec des traces d’un poisson à chaire mole et grasse.
Pourquoi ³⁄₅: Même si je les comparent au Fish & chips que j’ai abondamment mangé aux UK ce qu’on m’offre ici se classe dans la moyenne sans plus. Pour moi c’est beaucoup trop gras. Après quelques bouchés je né goutais plus rien tant mes papilles étaient saturé de matière adipeuse. Les frites était ma fois correcte, les quantités généreuses et la boîte pour emporter simple et jolie. Mais quand même je né donnerai pas une étoile de supplémentaire pour une boîte!
Donc j’y retournerais volontier si je suis dans le coin et qu’un ami veut essayer l’endroit, mais né ferais jamais un détour spécialement pour goûter à leur cuisine. Pour mes rages de Fish & chips je reste fidèle au Comptoir 21.

J’adore l’ambiance de l’endroit, on s’y sent vraiment dépaysé! L’endroit est minuscule pour le nombre de personnes qui y mangent, des chaises sont rajoutées un peu partout pour arriver à asseoir tout le monde. J’y suis allée avec mon copain et mon meilleur ami. Nous étions 3 sur une table minuscule théoriquement faites pour 2.
Le menu offre diverses variations du fish & chips. Les panures sont parfois à l’érable, parfois à la bière, etc… Et chaque panure recouvre un poisson différent. Bien intéressant. C’est un peu dommage que le goût ajouté à la panure né goûte pas plus… (pour né pas dire du tout).
Des bières importées sont offerts en fût. Quand j’y suis allée, après avoir passé ma commande, on m’a dit que le fût né fonctionnait plus, mais que ça né devrait pas être bien long… pas de problèmes, on va attendre… Et le temps a passé… La serveuse est revenue nous voir pour nous dire que les bières allaient nous être offertes gratuitement dès que le tout allait fonctionner puisque c’était très long…
On a reçu nos plats avant nos bières et finalement, les bières se sont retrouvées sur notre facture quand même…
Pour dessert, l’endroit offre des palettes de chocolat frites. Allo la friture, le gras et le sucre dans une seule bouchée! C’était assez intéressant. Surtout qu’une des palettes offertes est directement importée d’Angleterre.
Pourquoi on y va? Pour un dîner entre amis sans fla fla, une ambiance dépaysante, des plats servis dans des paniers de papiers journaux et pour l’originalité de l’endroit.

Excellent Fish&Ship ! Tout comme à Londres. Une panure du mois et les habituelles. À essayer, toujours un pur régal. Pour les petits appétits, partagez-​vous une frite à deux, il y en a suffisamment. Autour de 12 $/​personne.

Belle découverte que ce resto! Trouvez par hasard après une marche dans le vieux, Brits &Chips est apparue comme une vision. J’adore les fish&chips mais je trouve habituellement ceux servis aux restaurants fades, huileux et douteux dans certains cas. Mais pas aux Brits &Chips.
Les choix de panures sont intéressantes et l’ont sent la fraîcheur du poisson qui font littéralement sous la dents. Le service est convivial et rapide et les desserts décadent (plusieurs choix de paillettes de chocolats frites). On sait que l’on raccourcis sont espérance de vie en mangeant au Brits &Chips mais c’est pas grave, parce que ça en valait la peine!

Délicieux fish&chips ! Si vous voulez du bon fish&chips, c’est la place ! J’ai pris, le saumon panure Guiness + frites avec une bière Burgundy Lion, frais et très bon. Ils ont une petite terrasse extérieure sur la rue McGill.

J’ai été vraiment surprise par Brit & Chips. Ça n’était pas la première fois qu’on me le suggèrerais, mais j’avais une image d’un endroit où on né sert que de la friture donc c’était un peu plus difficile de me convaincre d’y aller. Pourtant, les belles salades, et les entrées variées m’ont surprises. Il y a des panures différentes selon le type de poissons pour bien complémenter les saveurs de la chaire. Elles sont originales et varient de celle à l’érable, à celle à l’Orange Crush puis une à la Guinness. J’ai aussi goûté aux crevettes popcorn, qui bien que très bonnes, n’ont pas été mes favorites de tout ce qu’on a mangé. Mon coup de coeur a définitivement été le fishcake au curry. J’ai déjà hâte d’y retourner pour m’en prendre un avec une salade pour le lunch!

Un petit vendredi tranquille, mon amie et moi voulons allez manger un lunch rapide et nous avons FAIM.
Il y a belle lurette déja, nous allions dans un petit shack a patate situé sur la rue McGill qui s’est maintenant magiquement transformé en shack a fish&chips. La joie dans mon cerveau a l’idée de manger du poisson frit et de la sauce tartare. Nous nous installons dehors sur la terrasse. Comme personne né vient nous voir, nous allons directement a l’intérieur ou on nous dit qu’il y a du service sur la terrasse. La charmante serveuse nous suit a l’extérieur et nous explique le menu.
J’opte pour le classique fish&chip de morue avec friture a la bière, mon amie choisit plutôt le saumon avec la panure a l’érable. Nous partageons une peinte de bière. Le service est courtois, rapide, souriant.
Je né pourrais pas vous décrire la sensation unique lorsque le poisson parfaitement frit a enveloppé mon palais. La sauce, hmmmm. J’aime vraiment les fish&chip et n’en ai jamais mangé d’aussi bons !!! a recommencer

Bouffe — Ces gars-​là connaissent leur friture ! On vous offre une variété de poisson avec une friture propre à chaque type de poisson. La friture à l’érable est vraiment bonne. Les crevettes cocktails frites sont bien croustillantes et l’œuf écossais très intéressant. Un œuf cuit dur, enrobé d’une saucisse, le tout frit ! eh eh !
Ambiance — le restaurant fait très bistro de coin de rue avec les tabourets et les comptoirs en tuile carrés de couleur jaune. Un style qui donne un certain charme à la place dois-​je dire !
