    Creole shrimp
    D'Arcy L.

    If I close my eyes pretend there is some Louis Armstong playing while the smoke from the kitchen fills the air and open them slowly you could almost believe you are in the Big Easy! Tonight I had a great dinner here with my wife! She had a Chardonnay, I had a Hurricane to get the evening rolling! Very nice I must say! We ordered a small green salad to start which was just greens and a nice light vinaigrette dressing! Then for the main course the waitress warned us the Dinosaur Beef ribs were all sold out for the night! Dang, I was sorta feeling like them! Que to second choice I ordered the Cajun combo and wifey ordered the Creole Shrimp! Plus, of course we needed some sweet potato fries to fill up that tummy! All came out in quick order and was delish, spicy and well presented! For desert it was all about the Double chocolate chip bourbon pecan pie! Afterwards we felt like we needed to un-notch the pants but were more than satisfied with the meal! I've eaten here 9 years ago and once in between and the restaurant still has that same great ambiance and look to it! If I lived in NDG it would probably be a once a month hit up! Some notes to mention to the owners if reading: Please try serving some better coffee! It tastes like brown water! Also some N'awlins jazz wouldn't have hurt, but you may be sick of that from perhaps trying it sometime in your 20 years of operation! Still, it would help fit the ambiance of the place and make me believe I was really in the Big Easy (sleazy!).

    Cajun shrimp and crab cakes

    Very comfortable place on Sherbrooke in NDG. Always busy, always manages to find really great staff. Our last visit was very much like all of the others - consistently good. We started with some fun cocktails (Bourbon peach cobbler and a Sazarac cocktail), had alligator for the appetizer then had our mains (Cajun shrimp and crab cakes). Everything we got tasted pretty terrific. The rice was a teensy bit dryer than it should have been but it's really no big deal - the shrimp more than made up for it. If you haven't gone, you should really try it. Fun experience, great looking restaurant, you'll enjoy your whole evening.

    This is a great little restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere. I went there with some friends after work for some cocktails and Cajun food. Tuesday nights they have a band, and on this occasion did not disappoint, with some mellow blues and grass roots music. The food was spicy but amazing. Thoroughly recommend their shrimp and raw oysters.

    One of our only Cajun restaurants but at least it's a good one, and out in a section on NDG that keeps getting cuter. This place has been earning their reputation for over 20 years, not clichéd decor, just a nice, candlelit restaurant with buzz, good gumbo, and some awesome "dinosaur" beef ribs.

    Blackened snapper mmmmmmm!

    The fish was fresh, crispy and delicious! The staff was friendly and helpful! Highly recommend.read more

    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.

The restaurant didn't provide a high chair for our baby, which was a bit disappointing. The service was good with our waitress checking with us to order and being prompt and attentive. Here is what we ordered: Grilled Cheese O+G (8/10) - the bread with the grilled cheese and caramelized onions were cooked well. The homemade ketchup had a sweet taste to it and was brought out a little colder than room temperature. I probably would have preferred the ketchup/tomato sauce to be a bit warmer. The Chicken Melt (8/10) - this sandwich was pretty big. It had grilled chicken in a creamy sauce, some Cole slaw (actually a lot of Cole slaw) and some dill pickles. The sandwich was a bit messy to eat and I think it had a little too much Cole slaw, but it was a good sandwich, nonetheless. Overall, I good experience with a few suggestions in my review that I think would have made it really great.
