12 Montreal restaurants were recently fined by MAPAQ for health violations

4 July 20254 Mins Read

Montreal is packed with great restaurants, but not every kitchen is spotless.

Quebec’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ) released its latest round of food safety fines — and a handful of Montreal restaurants and food businesses are on the list. Some were slapped with serious penalties for things like pest contamination, unsanitary equipment, or storing food at unsafe temperatures.

However, the biggest fine didn’t go to a restaurant last month, but rather to Aliments Marina, a food facility in Hochelaga that was hit with $8,000 in fines for two separate infractions involving insect or rodent contamination.

It’s worth noting that the violations often happened months ago, but the court rulings came down in June 2025. Most of these businesses are still open and, in theory, have since addressed the problems flagged by inspectors.

With that in mind, here are a dozen Montreal eateries that were fined this past month:

​Café 5 Juillet

Address: 3864 rue Jean-Talon Est, Montreal, QC

Total fines: $1,500

 Reason for the offence: Perishable hot foods weren’t properly cooled and kept below 4°C, as required for food safety.

Date of offence: 2024-11-08

 Date of judgment: 2025-06-20

​La Toxica Montreal

Address: 7221 rue Saint-Hubert, Montreal, QC

 Total fines: $1,600

Reason for the offence: Pest contamination — the premises had insects, rodents, or related contaminants.

Date of judgment: 2025-06-19

​Nouilles de Lan Zhou

Address: 1006 boulevard Saint-Laurent, Montreal, QC

Total fines: $1,000
