Reviewers consistently praise Casse-Croûte MangeDansMonHood for its smash burgers, particularly the Cali and the iconic smash with bacon jam, noting the buns are ultra soft, the patties juicy with crispy edges, and the MDMH sauce delivering a distinctive kick. The poutine and fries are described as solid to outstanding, with julienne fries and the bacon jam considered game changers, though a few notes mention fries can be a bit heavy or soggy during peak times. The vibe is a nostalgic, hip hop filled basement spot with friendly, efficient service that keeps lines moving and makes visitors feel welcome, and the overall atmosphere is a major draw alongside the simple, focused menu. Value is commonly praised for the quality at the price, and takeout and outdoor seating add flexibility, with many saying this place is a must try and one of the best burger spots in Montreal.View restaurant profile
