"The sandwiches at this much-loved counter-service gem in Ville St-Pierre are vegetarian, inexpensive, and oh so delicious. Its falafel pita is widely regarded as one of the best in the city, but don’t sleep on the meat-free shiitake mushroom shish taouk or the sabich (fried eggplant sandwich) either." - Eater Staff
"Run by a Jewish-Muslim team, Falafel St-Jacques is home to some of the city’s best shawarma and falafel, and the fake meat options include vegetarian shish taouk, shawarma, general tao chicken, and Mongolian beef." - Holly Tousignant
"The second location from much-loved Falafel St. Jacques is located just a couple blocks up from one of the city’s most picturesque waterfront green spaces. Pick up a a pita sandwich, or some mock shawarma (made from shitake mushrooms) and head across the Lachine Canal Foot Bridge for a picnic overlooking Lac Saint-Louis." - Dahlia Snaiderman, Ashley Joseph
"Vegetarian paradise Falafel St Jacques is so much more than the sum of its parts: falafel, yes, but also veggie shawarma and sandwiches with sabich (fried eggplant and amba mango condiment) and shakshouka, plus a special plate with Yemeni malawah and spicy tomato dip. Salads cover the expected bases with tabbouleh and Israeli chopped vegetable, and take a creative swing toward sweet brussel sprouts and spicy hot pepper." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
"This popular Ville-St-Pierre counter is one-part Jewish, one-part Muslim, and equal parts healthy(ish) and delicious. Everything is vegetarian and the fake meat shish taouk is almost as perfect as the falafel, which is arguably the most perfect in town." - Heather Vandenengel
