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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The Smash burgers are really good. I would definitely recommend, they also have student discount combo, which is great for students & is also less expensive than a single Smashburger. It is really cold inside so I would recommend taking out.
Bon smash burger, bonne frites cependant, le service laisse à désirer. J'ai laissé un pourboire malgré que c'est une commande pour emporter, pour me faire dire de prendre ma bouteille d'eau moi même… lorsque je l'ai mentionné, employé avait une attitude plutôt désagréable & en quittant avec ma commande, imitation d'une claque au visage… que le cuisinier ou propriétaire semblait cautionner…
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.
