The service is consistently described as friendly, welcoming, and passionate, contributing to an overall positive dining experience.

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
On était passé avant que ça ouvre & on avait été intrigués par le coup de marketing avant l'ouverture, ça nous avait marqué & c'est aussi ce qui nous a donné envie de découvrir le lieu quand on a vu que c'était ouvert ! Pas déçus, franchement c'est super bon, petite carte mais très bons produits. Le lieu, l'équipe & la nourriture c'est un 10/10
Tiny cosy place with probably the best burgers in Montreal, It's fresh, super tasty & the staff was super nice. If you want real burgers with a Japanese / French touch, go there. Favorite spot after a match !!
Very good burgers & friendly staff. All the ingredients are Canadian, & the menu is simple, which I really like. We had both the chicken & beef burgers, & they were equally good.
The fries are great too. I usually add salt, but these were already perfectly seasoned with what seems like a house spice blend. The sauce served with the fries is also excellent. They add capers, which makes it stand out.
I think it's incredible value, especially considering the passion behind what is essentially a burger & fries concept.
As for the seating, I initially found the low tables a bit unusual, but it ended up creating a relaxed, almost at-home feeling, like having a burger with friends.
Overall, I really enjoyed it & would definitely recommend it. Great job.
Good burger, good service, the only negative for me was the weird choice of'tables & bench' combo, not confortable at all. (see picture) Since we are in the winter, that was the only choice.
