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.
I was craving a juicy, fresh, comforting cheeseburger & Le Jus delivered. I will absolutely be going back every time I want the perfect smash burger. I also tried one of the chicken burgers on their menu & it was fantastic. The Honey has the perfect crunch with the right sweetness & a little jalapeno kick. You can tell the staff makes everything with care. There is heart & soul in the food.
The burgers are absolutely amazing, I got the BBQ & demolished it so quickly! The prices are beyond reasonable for the quality & taste you are getting too. I'd post a pic but all I have left is the sauce that fell on my plate, no scraps left.

Amazing food! I tried the BBQ smashburger & the buffalo chicken burger with cheesy fries. The cheese fries were so worth it, they give you a good amount of fries with cheese on every layer. 10/10 I loved everything. Prices are very fair as well. Also the staff was very polite & nice.
Beef burger way too smashed, super thin, & overcooked at the same time!!!! Plus, since it was one paper thin patty, I could barely taste the meat. I was expecting much more. I would not rate it as a good experience. (See photo), I've been to smashed burger places in Montreal with a better cooked double Patty for the same price ($12) as one patty here.

I tried the student offer at Le Jus & honestly, it was tasty & had potential. However, I was a bit disappointed to see that the burger only came with a bun, a patty, & cheese-nothing else. As a student, I totally appreciate the idea of a budget-friendly option, but I'd personally be willing to pay a little more (around $12-13) for a proper burger with toppings like lettuce, tomato, & sauce. That would really make it feel like a complete meal.
With just a few tweaks to the burger, this place could easily become a go-to spot for students.
Honestly just looking at these pictures myself is remind me of every juicy bite I had when I went to go visit @lejus_mtl! & I can still feel the juices running down my arm as I took a bite of these burgers! Even the fried chicken was super juicy & moist inside with a crunchy layer.
They took over the spot of Buboy & of quickly turned it into their new home serving up NDG with some amazing Smash Burgers just with the neighborhood needed! Justin is a real burgersmith even testing out new Burgers to put on the menu while I was there & I got to get a sneak peak into what the mad scientist was cooking!
The menu is limited to about two to three burgers on each side & two to three fried chicken burgers but honestly that's all you need that & some good cut crispy fries really is all a Smashburger place can hope for. When you end up doing too much you end up losing the quality but here you have quality from end to end the meat is perfectly seared but still juicy the Buns toasted to perfection the condiments & sauces really accent & give life to the Burger into the meats! 10/10 would recommend to a friend, FOODGASMIC 💦 in every bite!.

If you ever stop by this place, don't forget to try The Rookie burger. It's the best one out of all though all their sandwiches are amazing. Great cozy spot with immaculate vibes. 10/10 would recommend
The burger was great. Good bun, just the right amount of sauce. The poutine was really good too. Lots of cheese which was great! The atmosphere was nice too. We played games while waiting for our food & watched some football. Overall would def recommend!
Amazing food, super friendly environments. The atmosphere is great, & the interior decor is awesome as well, the best restaurant for smash burgers & chicken sandwiches
