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.
Nazmeen & Cooper are THE BEST!
The food was INCREDIBLE & soooo well priced!
Also services was aces! Shoutout to Nazmeen for being so sweet & funny & taking care of me & my BFF as we were being so very annoying❤?
Cooper can cater my wedding someday I hope 🙌🏾
I was put off by what I assumed was an AI-generated logo & a little confused about whether it was a burger place or a juice bar for the longest time but I finally gave it a shot.
That has to be the best poutine & burger I have had in years. Staff is great & the price is very affordable for what you're getting (a 10$ poutine in this economy? How do they do it??).
Give it a shot.

Excellent burgers. I tried their classic beef burger, & more recently, one of their chicken burgers.
The beef burger was good, but the chicken one was excellent & super generous. I ordered fries with it, & it was too much.
If you're looking for a great burger in NDG, look no further. It is a bit pricey, but you get quality stuff & the fries are not needed to be full (also, I found them disappointing compared to the burgers).
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.
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.
?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.
Don't sleep on this spot!

My honest review as a food reviewer/foodie on tiktok/insta:
The burger tastes okay. I would give it a solid 6.5/10. In terms of portion for the price of a 15$ (tax included) rookie burger, it's pretty expensive considering its small size. The staff claimed that it was filing, however, it turns out that I finished it in two bites. As mentioned in another review, I agree that'The burgers were super thin & crispy, toppings were alright, I think it needed more meat compared to the bun.'
As for the price of fries (5+tax), it is expensive. Fries were not my favourite but the seasoning is good. I would just recommend to have them a bit more crispier (personal preference) & longer. Add more dipping sauces to your menu like spicy mayo, chipotle, algerian, etc (suggestion).
As for the trio, other restos charge fries & drink for 3.99-4.99$. Fries are a cheap ingredient, but 5$+tax is expensive in a fast food setting.
Personally, it's not a burger joint that I would randomly have a craving for considering that it's not too far from where I live
Tiktok reviews overrated & overhyped it
I would focus increasing meat portion & having a fixed price for making a combo (drink+fries) for the burge
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.
