| - Delish! Fried fish and seafood is the specialty here.
I had a good experience at Comptoir 21 in Verdun with my family.
A terrace (patio) set up outside on to the street with a sun tarp. Walking in and a huge circular bar to the left with bar stools set up ready to serve. There were no tables outside, nor booth seats available so we all sat at the bar. Two toddlers included and a high chair for the Third toddler.
The service was a little slow to get our orders because there were two employees to work the entire restaurant. I saw customers get up from the booths to pay their bill at the bar. The employees had to deal with the change and completed checks before tending to us.
We ordered Fish and chips for the kids which comes one piece of fish and fries for 6$
Fried Calamari, A regular 2 Fish and Chips which is two portions of fish, fries, malt vinegar Coleslaw and Tartar sauce.
My father ordered a steak sandwich which is his regular order here it comes with sauteed peppers, he added a side salad, and my sister ordered the Vegetarian Burger which has some Indian spices in it.
The food came out pretty quickly after we ordered, great news because we were hungry!
Fried calamari had all rings of tender squid pieces came out with lemon wedges and.a green tartar sauce.This calamari is really yummy soft, not chewy at all, so good tastes like butter popcorn.
My two pieced Fish and Chips had a delicious tartar sauce with it too. This sauce is green and wasn't sure on the flavor but its Parsley! So Tasty! Parsley Aioli to dip the Fish and even fries in! The deep golden beer battered light crust was perfection. The fish was light and flaky too, there was no excess oil I recommend this fried fish! Best part is they offer Malt vinegar in a spray bottle, and white vinegar in the spray bottle as well, so smart and fun!
The fries were golden brown dark color but tasted like nothing! The Yelp reviews were dead on, these fries need improving, and seasoning.
There are two other locations of Comptoir 21 in Montreal proving they know what they're doing. I would come back and order the Calamari again and try the fried shrimp .
