Belle trouvaille. Un endroit où plusieurs jeunes branchés viennent travailler ou relaxer avec un livre & un café. L'espace est plus grand qu'il ne paraît, il y a plusieurs tailles de tables différentes. La musique est toujours bonne, & il y a parfois même un DJ présent. Un indicateur de décibels prouve que l'endroit respecte les clients. J'ai particulièrement aimé & DÉVORÉ le sandwich au saumon fumé, concombre & fromage à la crème. DÉLICIEUX. La fraîcheur des ingrédients était magique en cette journée de canicule. J'ai aussi goûté le sandwich aux oeufs, l'oeuf était préparé d'une manière que je n'avais jamais expérienced. C'était trop trop bon. J'ai pris un chaï latte glacé qui était non seulement tout mignon, mais aussi doux & bon, pas trop sucré même s'il était fait à partir de sirop. Mon amie a pris un cold brew, & la foam était majestueuse, c'était comme boire dans un gâteau moelleux. La terrasse est trop belle aussi. Je vais revenir c'est sûr! Surtout que j'ai appris qu'il y a les vendredis cocktails héhéView more

Exquisite cafe: the food, the drinks, the vibes. Will be thinking about the egg sando for a while - it's just so perfectly jammy with the right amount of kick with the side of hot sauce. Matcha also deserves a shoutout: you can tell that it's higher quality matcha. Would definitely come try some of their other sandwiches & drinks again! Also worth noting that you can't order the sandwiches until 11AM.View more

J'ai eu un vrai coup de coeur pour ce coffeeshop un peu caché, à l'ambiance arty. Ce n'est pas juste un endroit pour boire un café, la proposition culinaire est vraiment à la hauteur, j'ai adoré. J'y retournerai sans hésiter !View more

Osmo X Marusan Café-Terrasse is an absolute gem in downtown Montreal! From the moment you step inside this stylish, brutalist-inspired space, you know you're in for something special. The vibe is vibrant yet cozy, with plenty of natural light, lush plants, & a welcoming atmosphere perfect for working, hanging out, or enjoying a meal.
But let's talk food-this café truly shines with some of the best sandwiches in town. Whether it's their famous fried egg sandwich or the inventive pork chop sando, each bite bursts with flavor & creativity. The menu also features delicious Japanese-inspired dishes like ebi curry & katsu curry that are perfect for lunch or a casual dinner. Pair your meal with their expertly crafted coffee or a sublime matcha latte, & you're set for a fantastic experience.
The staff are friendly & knowledgeable, always ready to help you pick the perfect drink or sandwich. In the warmer months, their terraces offer a lovely spot to relax with a drink, & the occasional live DJ adds a fun, lively touch to the ambiance.
If you want a unique café experience that combines excellent Japanese flavors, top-notch coffee, & a cool, social atmosphere, Osmo X Marusan Café-Terrasse is a must-visit. Don't miss out on their sandwiches-they're truly some of the best in Montreal!
Highly recommended for locals & visitors alike.View more

I came here for a quick lunch. The place was very busy. You can tell it's a popular place among students. After ordering at the counter, they give you a number to place on the table & they bring your order to you when ready. The café is nice but quite noisy so it's not the ideal place to sit & study. I ordered the famous tamago sando. It was ok, not great. Apart from the egg, the rest of the sandwich was bland. Just too much bread. On the other hand, the chicken sandwich was very tasty.View more

I had the lavender London fog here & it was divine! The perfect sweetness while not being sugary, & perfectly warm! Also, the ambiance was delectable with this cafés cool & vintage feel! I definitely recommend!View more
Francessca
Absolutely lovely, highly recommend. The music was a little maouder than what you'd expect from cafe background music, but that didn't bother me personally (the music was very cool)
Also shoutout to the one black barista, you have a very nice & smooth voice:)View more
Amy
great food & cool vibes but definitely not a good place to get work done. it's located semi'underground' & has cool steel decor. the sandos are delicious & their matcha lattes are some of the best in the city! It does get quite loud in the cafe & the music is usually pretty loud too. plenty of seating but not enough outlets if you plan on doing work. Would recommend for going for lunch or hanging out!View more

Good food / coffee. Excessive noise for a "café". They have huge amp speakers & they blast aggressive music up to a limit of 80 dB. For reference the legal limit for workplace noise is 85 dB. Above that, protective gear must be used. When asked to slightly reduce the sound, they refuse & point to their dB meter, arguing that it's under the 80 threshold. I left with a headache.View more

The space was very nice & food was good as well, it was super crowded but that's no fault on the cafes part. However the music was so incredibly loud it was a little annoying. I also unironically saw a small rat in the lobby.View more

The café has a cute & cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot for studying or catching up with friends over coffee. The servers were friendly, & the overall vibe is welcoming. However, there are some notable downsides that take away from the experience. The café is not wheelchair-friendly, which is disappointing, & the stairs were slippery because of the snow, creating a potential safety hazard. Additionally, there are no electric outlets available near the tables, making it inconvenient for those who want to work for an extended period. The 2-hour Wi-Fi limit is particularly frustrating, as it feels unnecessary for paying customers who might want to stay longer to study or work while continuing to order. While the ambiance is nice, these issues make it less appealing for those seeking a more accommodating & convenient space.View more

I had a green tea, hojicha latte & took a matcha latte for takeout. The green tea & the hojicha was good but nothing exceptional. What stood out to me was definitely the delicious iced matcha latte. It was not bitter & had a unique flavour, more inclined on the leafy side than the sweet/nutty side of matcha that I've grown accustomed to. Although most of my cup was filled in ice, I enjoyed every sip. Can't recommend the matcha latte enough. The employees are very nice but I was not a big fan of the metal tables & metal bench aesthetic. I felt like I was back in school with the wobbly metallic tables lol. It's also a bit noisy in there, from the many students & the music. I wish I had tried their food but kitchen was not open on the day I visited. The prices are also very good, around 5$ per drink. Still debating wether or not to return to this cafe.View more

Went to this cafe based on good reviews from social media. The cafe itself is very aesthetically pleasing, but the food was a disappointment. I ordered two katsu sandos. One was cooked okay, but the other undercooked/cold inside & was the size of a brick. I get food poisoning very easily, so the pork being half raw was particularly upsetting.View more

OSMO X MARUSAN est un lieu unique qui combine à merveille le charme d'un café moderne & l'élégance de la cuisine japonaise. Le menu offre une belle variété de plats & de boissons, toujours préparés avec soin & originalité. Que ce soit pour un matcha latte parfaitement dosé ou un donburi savoureux, la qualité est toujours au rendez-vous. L'espace est lumineux, avec une décoration minimaliste qui invite à la détente. C'est un endroit idéal pour travailler, se retrouver entre amis ou simplement profiter d'un moment tranquille en savourant un bon café. L'attention portée aux détails, tant dans les plats que dans l'atmosphère générale, fait toute la différence. Le service est impeccable, avec un personnel accueillant & attentionné. Les prix sont raisonnables pour l'expérience proposée, & l'endroit se distingue par sa capacité à mêler tradition & modernité. OSMO X MARUSAN est une adresse à découvrir pour tous ceux qui apprécient un café de qualité & une cuisine japonaise revisitée dans un cadre agréable.View more

This cafe has great potential with a cool concept & very different from other cafes. However, my drinks were just ok, I can get the same from anywhere.View more

Absolutely warm & upbeat atmosphere. This basement cafe is not afraid to show what its about in terms of decor & music. If its cold & dreary outside, you will feel rejuvenated from the coffee made specially by a barista who knows what he's doing; & feel at home after getting a nice & hot katsu curry. Compliment the DJ in the back, they're making sure your experience goes above & beyond. Highly recommend.View more

The cafe gives out good vibes & energy & credit goes to the crew working there. The atmosphere is very lively & such a welcoming place where you can sit eat work & relax at the same time.View more

The vibe & drinks are definitely great. I got the tamago sando with smoked salmon & unfortunately there were a few bones in the salmon. There are definitely a lot of better food options at the café but the tamago sando is a bit overhyped especially for the price.View more

A really pretty cafe tucked away with a super cool vibe inside. Evidently japanese inspired, i loved their hojicha white chocolate latte 🥹 & their food was super tasty! i honestly take curry over the sandwiches but they're both good ! a must visit in montrealView more

classic cafe. Not per say the most preserved japanese, but they do things well. The cashiers usually aren't so polite, but the baristas focus on making things well. I'll post more pics later.View more

I recently visited OSMO X MARUSAN Café-Terrasse & had a wonderful time. The food was delicious, particularly the Karaage sandwich. The atmosphere is cozy & inviting, with a charming terrace for outdoor dining. The service was excellent, & finding a seat was easy despite the crowd. If you're looking for a good lunch experience in Montreal, this is a great option! ☕View more

The cafe has a nice concept. I tried the famous Tamago Egg Sandwich & chicken sandwich & was quite impressed. The rice curry was not bad. I would probably return when visiting Montreal. Would definitely recommend to my friends to try this place out 🩷👍View more
