Le Jus est un restaurant de comfort food à Montréal, ouvert de l’après-midi jusqu’à tard le soir. Nous servons des smashburgers, des sandwichs au poulet, des frites et des accompagnements — rapides, frais et préparés avec soin. Notre menu est simple mais audacieux. Nous restons ouverts tard pour que vous puissiez manger de la vraie bouffe quand la plupart des endroits sont fermés. Pas de fla-fla, juste de la bonne comfort food, halal-friendly, pensée pour la clientèle nocturne montréalaise.
Le Jus apparaît comme une petite adresse conviviale où l’accueil est chaleureux et l'ambiance détendue, avec des jeux de société et un décor qui mixe arts et musique; le menu met en avant des smash burgers et des burgers au poulet frit, servis avec des frites croustillantes et des cheese fries généreux, le tout accompagné de sauces bien pensées qui mêlent des touches philippines et la vibe montréalaise; le service est rapide et le rapport qualité-prix largement apprécié, avec des portions généreuses et des offres étudiantes évoquées par certains; la clientèle apprécie aussi la présence d’un petit espace pour acheter des produits exotiques naturels d'Haïti et le cadre agréable en fait une halte populaire pour manger sur place ou à emporter; des critiques ponctuelles mentionnent des burgers parfois trop salés ou trop fins et des frites manquant de croquant, mais dans l'ensemble Le Jus est perçu comme une excellente option pour ceux qui recherchent des burgers savoureux et abordables, souvent salués comme l'une des meilleures adresses de la ville pour ce type de restauration.
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.
A Five-Star Masterpiece of Culinary Aggression
Oh, please-strap yourselves in. If you're tired of'edible' food &'reasonable' textures, you simply must visit Le Jus on Monkland. I'd give it five stars, but honestly, five stars feels like an insult to the sheer, unbridled local heroism happening in this tiny room.
Here is why you need to drop everything & support these'good local people' before they accidentally fix the economy entirely:
The'Smash' in Smashburger
We started with the classic hamburger. It's a'smashburger,' & they really took the name to heart. Most places just sear the meat; these visionaries apparently pulverized it into a state of crispy, lacy defiance.
The Bun: Suspiciously soft. Like a cloud that's given up on life.
The Cheese:'Delicious' in that way that makes you wonder why you ever bothered with fancy imports when you could have this molten yellow joy.
The Fries: Let's talk about the oil. It was so fresh I suspect they pressed the olives (or canola, or whatever magical elixir they use) right behind the counter while staring me in the eyes. Lightly spiced, crispy, &-thank the heavens-not frozen. Because nothing says'I'm a culinary elite' like identifying a potato that hasn't seen the inside of a freezer.
The Weaponized Chicken Sandwich
But the pièce de résistance? The Fried Chicken Sandwich. This isn't a meal; it's a structural integrity test for your jaw.
'I have to tell you, it was the best fried chicken sandwich I've had in Canada. It was so crispy that I remarked to my son that I'm afraid I'm going to break a tooth.'
Finally! A restaurant that offers the thrill of a high-stakes dental emergency with every bite. If you aren't risking a $2,000 crown for a spicy honey glaze, are you even eating? The combination of that glaze & the jalapenos provides a lovely distraction while you pray your molars hold up against the sheer, tectonic crunch of that breading.
Why You Must Go
Support them. Not because the food is good (which it is, in a terrifyingly crunchy way), but because they are'local.' & as we all know, local calories don't count, & local grease is basically a charitable donation to the neighborhood.
Go to Le Jus. Bring your son. Bring your dental insurance card. It's a riot.

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.
?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.
Cooper & Joey truly made our visit to Le Jus a great one! Cooper (the chef) made absolutely amazing burgers - my friend Munir & I ordered 2 chicken burgers & 2 beef burgers, & every single one was fresh, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. Joey, the cashier/server, was welcoming, respectful, & brought great energy the whole time. We had a good laugh, felt genuinely taken care of, & the hospitality was top tier. Management should recognize both Cooper & Joey. They represent the restaurant extremely well. We're definitely coming back & looking forward to eating here again

I went there with a friend who had been raving about the honey chicken. He did not oversell it. Super crispy & perfectly cooked. The jalapenos added just the right kick to balance the honey. The fries were delicious too!
Food is amazing! Crispy chicken is CRIS-PY! Staff is super sweet! Not much seating, but it's cozy. Stumbled on this place cause of an Instagram post. Thought it might be overhyped but it isn't!! It's really really good!
Stopped in for lunch with my son. I had the Honey Chicken burger & he had the classic smash burger. The chicken burger was 10/10! My son said the smash burger was one of the best he's had. The flavours were excellent. Would highly recommend!
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.
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.

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!.
Amazing food, super friendly environments. The atmosphere is great, & the interior decor is awesome as well, the best restaurant for smash burgers & chicken sandwiches
