Chip+Malt

Had lunch on Saturday , at Chip and Malt , and decided on the fish cakes. They were fabulous. They are only available on Friday and Saturday, which makes them a very special item on the menu. Light and so delicious..I highly recommend!

This was my first time at this restaurant. While it is not very big inside, we were seated right away... did I mention it was a Friday evening :)

Halibut and chips were so good, the service was great and I would go back to try one of the other fish options

I highly recommend if you are a fish and chip lover

Fish and chips were good. I had the halibut and would try the cod next.
The fries are good and plenty. It comes with a large pile with your fish.
The calamari, as others have noted, felt kind of rubbery. It may be pre-frozen.
Service was excellent. Very friendly and warm.

I wouldn't say this is the best fish and chips in town, but definitely worth a try if you're in the area.

I was craving fish and chips and decided to give this place a try based on the reviews.

When we got here, we had a hard time finding parking. Every spot in the parking lots in the area were occupied. Eventually, we found a 30 minute spot by the restaurant and took it.

We didn't realize it was table service until we walked in and I got worried about our 30 minute parking. I told the hostess that we were parked at a 30 minute spot and would it be ok. She said that it's ok and she doubted that we would get ticketed because they don't think the cops would give tickets in this freezing weather. LOL. We were immediately seated after arriving.

Daughter ordered Haddock and Chips, which has Atlantic haddock, chips, coleslaw, tartar sauce. She substituted the chips for chips and curds for an extra cost. The chips and curds were fresh cut chips, house made gravy and Quebec cheese curds. She thought that the haddock was ok. We thought that the chips and curds were a bit of a disappointment. The chips could've have used a little more time in the fryer. They looked to be freshly cut, though.

Hubs ordered the Seafood Chowder, which has halibut, cod, bacon, potatoes and cream. Hubs thought it was the best item on the table that day. He doesn't like it thick and glad that it wasn't. He also liked that there wasn't much potatoes and a lot of seafood.

Lastly, I had the Cod'wich sandwich - battered cod, coleslaw, tomatoes, pickled red onions, tartar sauce. It's served on a Martin's potato roll. I thought it was ok and it was nice and thick and could use a little more salt. My order also came with a side of fries.

The restaurant was generous with the chips. We brought both daughter's and my chips back to our hotel. We couldn't finish it. The fries weighed almost about 2 lbs. LOL.

Daughter had English Breakfast and I had Earl Gray tea. We both had our little pots to brew our tea. It was nice and warm for a freezing cold day! Hubs had coffee and thought it was good strong tavern like coffee.

Service was a little slow but friendly. One con about dining in the area is finding parking. Will return to try other items on the menu.

The best fish and chips!!

This cute restaurant on Main Street in Newmarket is an absolute gem! The restaurant is very nicely decorated, it seems small when you walk in but it has a long hallway and back area with more seating.

The menu is not large but has a bunch of great option for both seafood lovers and those who would prefer a burger. As per the many other reviews, the fish is the star of the show. I had the haddock and it was a massive piece that hung over the side of the plate. I upgraded my fries to the seafood chowder which I loved. It was creamy, with lots of pieces of seafood but wasn't overly heavy. I really enjoyed it! The fish was light and flaky and the batter was crisp. I didn't find it to be overly greasy, however it is still fried food. The fish tasted fresh and it came out piping hot. Everyone enjoyed their fish. I tried the fries and they were also great. They tasted like fresh cut, not frozen.

The only issue I have is with the price, it's a good couple of bucks more expensive than many other fish and chips places in the area, most with very good quality food as well. The restaurant offers a very nice atmosphere and great service so I think that makes up for it a little!

The service was good, a bit slow at times but it was not an issue because we were enjoying our time there. They servers were very friendly and made us feel like we were regulars.

This is a great place to come to with friends, family or even a date night. The menu has a bit of everything and the fish and chips will definitely impress anyone.

Another great meal here !
My go to place for fish and chips in Newmarket.
The halibut is exquisite, thick and juicy and a solid white fish (so firm is the halibut).
Ordered the family pack
4 pieces halibut, 2 fresh cut fries, 4 coleslaw and 4 tartar.
Enough said about the halibut, Exquisite!
Fries are great, nice homemade freshly cut, coleslaw is creamy and the tartar is homemade, not the Heinz's packages. As well tartar should be at any fish and chip establishment.
Definitely recommend checking this place out for your Friday fish cravings.

I love to support locals, especially when it's a gem I recently discovered Chip & Malt which is known for their fish and chips. They focus on using ethically sourced, and fresh local ingredients for their dishes.

I ordered the Halibut + Chips and was surprised about the size, as well as how tender and juicy the piece was as well. It's really what you get; a piece of fish covered in crispy batter without any added salt & spices to it. The extra flavoring would come from the in-house tartar sauce which is included in your order. Personally I enjoyed it as is since I really wanted to experience the taste of the perfectly cooked Halibut. Lastly I didn't feel too greasy eating it as their batter wasn't oily at all. I would definitely recommend visiting them if you're around, or willing to make a trip up north

My husband and I drove all the way from Texas to Toronto to eat at Chip+Malt!!! Ok just kidding. Seriously though, we did drive to Canada but to stay with family for the holidays and this was the one restaurant we just had to come visit in New Market.

We not only enjoyed eating the delicious food but the customer service is so friendly and welcoming. We got to meet with the owner who was also very pleasant and we enjoyed our conversation.

This was one of the very 1st restaurants my husband took me to when visiting Canada before we got married and I can still say that this is still a magical place today.

Great fish and chips on Main Street Newmarket. Batter is really good which sets aside a good from great F&C joint.

Service is always spot on and the location and decor make it a nice place for a casual night out.

Enjoy

Visited just before another lockdown
All safety measures and protocols were in place and even exceeded requirements, our server Robin never removed her mask at any time during our visit
I had the cod & chips- side gravy and PIC had cod & onion rings so we could share both, everything was delicious, clearly super fresh and made in house
Friendly and attentive service, highly recommend
We'll be back
