Overall, reviews for Bāgā highlight the smash burgers as the centerpiece, with juicy, flavorful patties that stay crisp at the edges and are enhanced by house made sauces and well balanced toppings. Fries are a frequent favorite, described as homemade and perfectly paired with the burgers, and the use of local ingredients adds to the appeal. The service is consistently warm, and the ambiance is welcoming and stylish, though a few note that the dining room layout on small tables can feel awkward. Some critiques mention a few missteps, such as the chicken or bacon being undercooked or the sauces being too tangy for some, and one diner felt a bit off after the meal possibly due to fasting. Overall, the place comes across as a strong and beloved discovery with vegetarian options praised and a clear emphasis on quality and local products, leaving many eager to return.
Excellent du début à la fin. Honnêtement, j'aurais mis 15 étoiles si c'était possible. La musique, la déco, le service, tout était vraiment réussi. & surtout, les burgers sont incroyablement bons. En parlant avec le propriétaire, j'ai appris que les produits sont locaux ou issus du circuit court autant que possible, que ce soit pour la viande, les sauces maison ou même le pain. Ça se sent immédiatement au goût. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter à Montréal.

What more can you ask from a burger place? Honestly, amazing value for the level of effort, passion, & quality local ingredients in every part of the meal. The hospitality was great, & you can really see the passion behind the place. The interior is modern & very cool. Highly recommend. Even the chocolate chip cookie we got at the end was so good!
Délicieux burgers, dont un végé avec une boulette maison (pois chiches, carottes & cari) savoureuse! Tout est fait avec des produits locaux. Super terrasse à venir cet été dans la cour. Ma nouvelle place pref de smash burger en ville!
This spot shines with its fresh ingredients & perfectly executed smash beef burger-juicy, flavorful, & crisp around the edges. The smash chicken is a delicious surprise, unlike anything I've tried before. Friendly service rounds out the experience. Highly recommended!
Excellent burgers !! Un point en plus pour les frites accompagnées de leur sauce qui sont délicieuse ! L'ambiance est chaleureuse. Juste un petit point, les burgers sont peut être un peu difficile à manger sur les petites tables mais à part ce petit détail, nous avons passé un excellent moment !
Tried this fairly new spot in Montreal after seeing really promising reviews. I ordered the smash chicken, the smash burger, & fries.
Starting with the positives: the fries were great - could've been a touch crispier, but overall solid. The dipping sauce was a little tangy for my taste, but I actually ended up enjoying it.
The smash chicken… I'm still not sure how I feel about smashed chicken as a concept. Flavor-wise, it just didn't hit for me & felt slightly off. The smash burger was similar - if it weren't for the sauce, it would've been pretty meh. The bacon also wasn't cooked to my liking. I know it's a thicker cut (so it won't be super crispy), but it still felt undercooked & that threw me off.
I'll also mention that I didn't feel great after the meal. I had been fasting for about a day & a half beforehand, so that could've contributed, but it's still worth noting.
Overall, it wasn't terrible, but it didn't wow me either. I usually try a place twice before making a final decision, so I'll probably give it another shot. There's definitely potential here.
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 😊
