Le Jus is an Afternoon to late-night Comfort food Restaurant in Montreal. We serve smashburgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, and sides fast, fresh, and made with care. Our menu is simple but bold. We’re open late so people can grab real food when most places are closed. No gimmicks just good comfort food, halal-friendly, and made for the Montreal night crowd.
Le Jus is described as a welcoming, casual spot with friendly staff, quick service, and strong value where smash burgers and fried chicken stand out for flavor and crisp textures. Reviewers note the intimate neighborhood vibe, cozy seating, and the option to chill with board games, while the staff are repeatedly praised for hospitality and energy. The burgers are praised for being juicy and well cooked with crispy edges, though a few comments mention overly salty or too saucy burgers and some patties that feel thin compared to the bun. Fries and cheese fries are often highlighted as a highlight, with crispy fries and generous portions, and spicy toppings or jalapeno kicks adding zest. The menu is compact but versatile, with a student discount option and the possibility of takeout; most diners say the quality far outweighs the price and that Le Jus is worth a return visit. Overall impressions converge on delicious food, a friendly atmosphere, and a place that delivers a solid smash burger experience in NDG.
Nice little place with a nice vibe & great music. This is the kingdom of burgers. Probably one of the best in Montréal. My son started University near your restaurant so I shall be back.
Le Rookie is so good. Cream cheese & hot honey is an incredible mix of flavors that blend so well together. +2$ for extra patty (very reasonable price). Cheesy fries were really good too. All around fantastic burger experience. Definitely recommend for all burger lovers.
Service was super friendly. Atmosphere in the restaurant is great with nice decor & games available to play too.
Was here a month ago & A must try is Le sweet gurl fr & Le honey, so juicy & meatyyyy
Loved those. Next time I'm getting two more flavors coz my mission is to eat every one of these burgers 😅
Hands down best smash burger & chicken sandwich spot in montreal. Chef is an absolute assassin in the kitchen, I casually walked in & ordered 1 smash & 1 chicken, I was so shocked I got up & asked for another burger & the guy suggested the smash with honey & jalapenos/cream cheese, unforgettable. Chef knows how to make a proper skirt for a smash burger, thin crispy perfection. Only sad part about my experience was not having enough room to try more things. Highly recommended, absolute gem for montreal.
It's hands-down the best Smash Burger on this side of town. I had The Rookie, & it was a work of art. Seems like a busy little spot, but I arrived at 6pm on a Thursday night & was still able to have'date night' vibes with a friend that gave us plenty of time to eat & get in a good visit/chat. May have been a bit too crowded for that if we'd have gone at 7pm. I will be going back to try the chicken sandwich soon. The anime decore was unique & a welcome addition to NDG.
Going in, there's a few place to sit & seems to invite you to chill with board games available. You're welcome by a small counter to order where the staff is friendly & will just openly chat with you.
The service is quick as you'd expect with flavorful food. The smashburger is well executed letting the beef shine in all of its crispy edge glory! The price is decent too. Not to take away from the star, but the fries are amazing & for me, were the highlight.
If you're in the neighborhood & craving for a burger, you can't go wrong here.
I ordered via Uber Eats, this is one of the best smash burgers in town. So tasty, big portion, it will definitely be a repeat for me. My photo may not do it justice but that's the classic burger.

Excellent smash burger, parmi mes préférés de l'île ! La viande est bien grillée & croustillante, le fromage fond divinement bien dessus. Les frites épicées sont superbes. Je ne manquerai pas d'y retourner pour goûter les cheesy fries & le burger au poulet.
?The Food: Fast, fresh, & packed with flavor. ?The Price: Unreal. ~$15 or less for a burger & a cheap upgrade to a combo. ?The Vibe: Chill, non-formal, & the staff are incredibly welcoming.
?It's rare to find quality food at this price.
The sauces & concepts are very well thought of a little wink to the Philippines & the montreal culture is all over this menu.
The fried chicken is generous & flavourfull definitely worth the try.
Sorry,this missed the mark for me. I ordered the bbq burger to go with fries. Im not sure if the excessive salt is the norm but it was way too much for me. The burger was not it for me. It seemed like mayo was added & its not on the ingredients. Also there was so much sauce that the patty seemed non existent. & no napkins on such a messy burger. I had high hopes.

Petit restaurant qui n'a pas l'air de grand chose mais WOW, la nourriture est INCROYABLE. De loin le meilleur burger de poulet frit que j'ai mangé (celui au miel) & un de meilleurs smash burgers que j'ai mangés. La viande est goûteuse, juteuse & parfaitement cuite. Les frites piquantes sont un super accompagnement & le
Grilled cheese, aussi simple qu'il soit (fromage, oignons caramélisés & beaucoup de beurre) est délicieux. Les portions sont très généreuses & les portions hyper abordables. Ils ont aussi un burger du mois avec une saveur vraiment originale à chaque fois. Ça vaut VRAIMENT la visite.
