Marble Arch Fish & Chips - Saanich, British Columbia

Thought we would give this place a try based on reviews and it was disappointing to say the least. We tried the Halibut & Chips, batter was lacking any crunch, super thin and greasy. Fries weren’t your typical “chips”, just the same ol McCain fries you have at home. They ... only accept Cash, which wasn’t an issue. The issue was no handwashing between handling cash and food, ever! The lack of cleanliness as a whole speaks for itself. Needless to say, we won’t be returning anytime soon. Read more

Had a great time here, the owners are friendly and make good food for a great price. The decor is perfect for lovers of traditional diners. An enthusiastic 5 stars!

I love it here. It's like going home. Growing up in my hometown we had a place that served food very similar and when I miss home I can count on the food to always bring me joy.

I was hesitant at first, the area is in transition and the main building was a tired 1970’s strip mall across from a graffiti plaster shuttered mall of similar age but less fortunate. Alongside a laundromat, dog grooming studio and an ice cream shop here sat the Marble Arch Fish ... and Chips. As it turned out it was just what I was looking for. A mom and pop restaurant that has been in business for over 16 years. Nothing fancy but clean and authentic. These places are few and far between. I ordered two pieces of cod and chips, the portions were large and the chips hand cut. Typical battered fish not greasy and tasted very good. The price was about the same as a White Spot but the portions were larger. Cash only here at this retro restaurant. Various combo Chinese meals advertised on hand written sign. I would rather spend my money on a family operated restaurant than a corporate restaurant anytime. Thanks for the friendly service and nostalgia. Read more

It's a great place to eat fish and chips if you're on a budget. Wednesday night is $8.99 for 6 pcs of fish. Geez
