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.
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!
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 😊

Just 3 letters my dear B?g?: Wow! I know you have just started, but what a start! Vraiment la totale: superbe service, superbe burger, des frites & sauces maison d' Anthologie. So far, you rock, comme diraient nos amis Anglos! Lachez pas!
Accueil chaleureux dès notre arrivée & service rapide. Tout était impeccable - un vrai sans-faute. Les saveurs sont parfaitement équilibrées & chaque détail a été soigneusement pensé. Ça se ressent dans l'assiette comme dans l'ambiance. Une très belle expérience du début à la fin. Je recommande sans hésitation & j'y retournerai !
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 😎
Excellent smash burger ! Je reviendrai tester la version végé qui a l'air vraiment bonne aussi. Les frites maison sont à tomber & l'endroit est magnifique en plus. Merci pour l'accueil, l'équipe est super sympathique :)
Belle découverte !
Adresse incontournable à Montréal où tout est réuni pour passer un bon moment :

Honnêtement, un des meilleurs smash burger en ville. Les frites maison étaient excellentes & que dire de la sauce. C'est un nouveau coup de coeur pour moi !
