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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Don't sleep on this spot!

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.
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!
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
