Falafel St-Jacques

Tucked away in the heart of Lachine, Falafel St-Jacques is a hidden gem that has been delighting vegetarian and falafel enthusiasts for years. This unassuming eatery may be small in size, but it more than makes up for it with its big, bold flavors and commitment to authentic Middle Eastern cuisine.

The menu at Falafel St-Jacques is a masterclass in simplicity, focusing on perfecting a few key dishes rather than trying to be all things to all people. The star of the show is, of course, the falafel – crispy on the outside, fluffy and flavorful on the inside, and served in a freshly baked pita with an array of vibrant toppings and sauces. But don’t sleep on the other sandwiches, which feature equally delicious fillings like roasted veggies and creamy hummus.

What sets Falafel St-Jacques apart is its dedication to quality ingredients and made-from-scratch preparation. The falafel is fried to order, the pitas are baked daily, and the sauces and spreads are all house-made with care. It’s this attention to detail that has earned the restaurant a loyal following and a reputation as one of the best falafel spots in the city.

Beyond the food, Falafel St-Jacques also has a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes it the perfect spot for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner. The small space is cozy and intimate, with just a few tables and a counter for takeout orders. It’s the kind of place where you can feel the love and passion of the owners in every bite.
