Falafel St. Jacques

I’ve been veg most of my life and rarely eat out but I’ve heard so much about Fal St J for years and always wanted to go. I live close by so finally went. I have mixed reviews. The gluten free falafel pita was THE BEST we ever had. They had amazing selections of veg sides as well. We got a few and they were all good. The blonde lady with the nice smile was friendly and patient with all our questions as well. The downside: The place is VERY small, cluttered, dirty and there’s nowhere to park. It’s surprising that a place so popular wouldn’t find a larger and cleaner location. So small inside that we felt rushed to make choices because there was so many people inside a small area. All their ingredients list are in French. No ingredient lists on their web sites either You cannot see the prices they are entering into their register and they refused to give a paper receipt. Not legal but the place was so packed my friend wasn’t going to stand there and argue. It was $90 for 2 sandwiches and some sides? Didn’t make sense but I waited outside while my friend paid or else I would have demanded by receipt. I’m glad I finally tried it out, but we won’t go back.

My favorite gluten free option. The owner is sooo friendly and the food is amazing. Vegan and gluten friendly options !!!! Highly recommend this neighbourhood gem !
