After several different friend highly recommending Comptoir 21 (@Comptoir21Fish), we just had to drop by and it end up being the first stop of our 3 day Montreal trip.
The menu is pretty simple with mainly Fish & Chips (duh) selection and includes other things like hotdog and burger for the non-fish eater.
Love the U-shaped bar table where the waitress can bring everything from kitchen to table. The space was rather small and you may need to wait a bit for a seat but the turnaround is pretty quick.
Homemade Clam Chowder $5.95
~ We started with their New England style chowder and it was rich, creamy and super thick.
You can choose form Fish only, Fish&Chips, Fish&Poutine and Fish&Salad and comes in half size, small size and full size.
Large Fish & Poutine $15.95
~ This was the full size version which comes with 3 big piece of fish. It was light and fluffy in a crispy battered perfection plus love how the fish was piping hot when you cut into it.
~ It also came with a choice of sauces and we choose the original tartar sauce and that was the only thing I didn't like about the whole dish.
~ The tartar sauce was a tad bland with not enough "sour/tart" in it and wish they was bigger bits of pickles in it.
~ The poutine was surprisingly good with the traditional thick gravy and cheese curds.
Large Fish & Salad $15.95
~ Side of salad is a much healthier option and a welcoming refreshing to the deep fried fish.
Love the spray bottle of vinegar, no soggy fries from heavy hand or "pour-too-much-accident" here
Verdict:
~ Love it, would definitely come back when in Montreal in the future.
~ Very well price yummy deep fried cod fish with the perfect poutine on the side
