Reviews for Baga highlight fresh local ingredients and well executed smash burgers, with a menu that includes chicken, beef and veggie options and even gluten free buns, delivering solid flavor and good value; fries and house sauces are praised for quality, and the casual modern interior and friendly staff are often cited as positives. Some comments point to seating that feels low and a little awkward for families or groups, and a few burgers were noted as overly salty or not perfectly balanced, but overall the experience is described as memorable with standout fries and a desire to return to try more items.

Slightly pricier, but by far the best smash burger I have had in Montreal. Absolutely worth the extra ~2 dollars for the quality of the ingredients & care in preparation. Super interesting local drink options too (recommend the sparkling matcha drink).
I hear the confusion over the awkward height of the tables, but I like that the tables can be moved around easily & find the configuration to be fun & playful. Looking forward to experiencing the outdoor space in the summer!
They also have a GF bun option on the menu :)

A perfect new option for you to relax'just right'.
This isn't just a place to eat burgers; it's more like a community living room, with an elegant yet unpretentious atmosphere, perfect for savoring your meal at a leisurely pace.
All ingredients are sourced from Quebec. The beef patties are incredibly tender, paired with a rich tomato sauce, each bite absorbing the essence of tomato, 5 yrs cheddar cheese, & gravy.
My new go-to spot for smash burgers! The staff is friendly, & they use local ingredients. The food is fresh & tasty - the meat is perfectly cooked, & the fries are just as good. They also have a veggie burger option. Plus, it's a kid-friendly place, which makes it perfect for a casual family meal.
First thing: the burger is not drowned in sauce. No overcompensating, no mess for the sake of mess. It doesn't rely on sauce the way a lot of places do, which means the meat actually has to carry its weight-& it does. Very well prepared, with something going on that we couldn't quite identify. Maybe it's the seasoning, maybe the technique, maybe just solid quality beef. Whatever it is, it's good.
They also have a gluten-free bun option, which is always a nice touch.
We paired it with a @messorembracitorium beer, which, as expected, was a good idea. & we had to have the cookies-massive ones from @paquebot_cafe, which we already love, so that's an easy win.
The seating is slightly confusing. The tables are low-like, tea-room low-which makes eating a burger feel like a bit of a posture exercise. Not exactly built for this type of food.
Overall, it's a simple smash burger. Nothing life-changing, not trying to reinvent the wheel-but solid. & in an area without many nearby smash burger options, it's definitely a decent spot to have in the rotation
Super expérience, j'ai adoré leur smash burger! Les ingrédients sont de qualité & en plus il y a des options de protéine pour tous ! J'adore 🤍 je conseille le smash burger au poulet trop bon & gourmand 😊

Super bon burger 🍔, la sauce des frites est à tomber !! Plein d'options de breuvage ( avec alcool) & l'endroit est vraiment sympa pour se poser entre amis ou en famille . Belle adresse à connaitre au Plateau 😎
