Comptoir 21

Very good surprise. This is a delicious fish and chips restaurant. We started with the clam chowder and it was delicious. The portion was generous and got lots of clams and potatoes in it. The fried dishes quickly followed. The cod was perfectly cooked and melted in the mouth. The batter was crispy and light. The fries were crispy and I think salted. The tartare sauce highlited the entire dish. The fried calamari was also delicious and the spicy paprika sauce was a nice addition. The salmon burger was a let down. It was hard to eat. It fell apart very easily. The salmon was bland. The tartare sauce helped but it couldn't save the dish. It came with a salad or fries, we got the salad. It was fresh and got a nice vinaigrette. When we got in, the shop didn't smell like grease or felt greasy, it's a big plus. The restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated. The service was okay. It was slow. Overall, the dishes were delicious! Their cod fish and chips is a must have and so is their chowder! We will definitely be back!

Very cozy restaurant and very friendly staff. Loved their clam chowder. Cons We chose this place because it had the best reviews for fish and chips and went in with high expectations. Given the price we paid, we didn't really enjoy our food because the fish was very very very oily and the chips were nice and crunchy but very bland. Would have loved some seasoning. Even our burger was kinda soaked in oil released from the fish patty. Also it was quite surprising that thier tarter sauce was not great either. It didn't have that sweet and tarty flavour at all. Couldn't really satisfy our taste buds except for the clam chowder especially paying 40 bucks. 😞

I hadn’t been here for years, but went today and I daresay it has improved. The fries are fantastic and the fish tasted light and smelled fresh, not greasy like I remember. The tables outside are great and although the fellow working seemed a bit overwhelmed, he was as attentive as possible and very pleasant. Also, one of the only places in Verdun open for lunch on a Monday!! I will be back when I have my next hankering for fish and chips.
