Review Summary

Osmo X Marusan comes across as a stylish, vibrant cafe in downtown Montreal with a lively vibe, strong coffee and a notable lineup of matcha and hojicha lattes, plus creative Japanese inspired sandwiches such as tamago sando and karaage sando and curry bowls; the space and terrace are great for studying or hanging out, and a casual DJ moment adds to the atmosphere, but the place is often crowded and loud with long waits for food at peak times, and some dishes or portions can feel small or uneven while service can be variable, yet the overall experience centers on the ambiance and drinks and many guests say they would return to try new items.

Drinks - I've only had their matcha latte & it's good! No complaints! However!!! I thought I'd treat myself so I got a katsu curry for lunch. It looked great! Plated nicely but WOW was it bad. I couldn't finish the meal. The curry was tasty, but the katsu itself was the worst I've ever had. They didn't trim the silver skin off of the pork!! & if you've ever cooked pork you know to trim that stuff off before cooking. Silver skin doesn't break down when cooked & becomes tough & chewy because it's made up of elastin (versus collagen, which breaks down when cooked). It completely ruined the texture of the katsu. I forced myself to eat some of it (because I paid my hard earned money for it😭) before the texture of the meat made me feel sick. I let the staff know but unfortunately they weren't able to help & I would have to pay if I wanted something else. So I tried to make it work & took another bite of the katsu. It looked like lean meat so I thought I was in the clear, but the silver skin was hiding lmao! It was so chewy I had to spit that out too. It was as if I was chewing meat flavoured bubblegum. I've never experienced this when I've had katsu anywhere else. Truly such a disappointment. To make it worse, the rice was also mushy. How do you screw up rice if you're serving Japanese food? That was the icing on the cake. What a waste of food. All that is to say that I would not recommend the katsu curry.

The overall experience was good. However the drinks that we ordered, the limonade & the matcha latte were not strong enough for me. The matcha tasted almost like green milk. The curé was supper good, the egg sandwich didn't taste anything special, my expectations were kinda high due to instagram. The sandwich does look really good & aesthetic but it isn't worth the hype. But the overall experience was really nice.

Good vibes & cool interior. The Karaage Sando was good, but the bottom half was quite empty. The Matcha & Chai lattes were filling.

Les oeufs fondants sont délicieux! Gros coup de coeur pour le matcha!

Amazing cafe. The scotch egg sandwich was amazing. The iced matcha latte was also sublime. Also, there were no seats for my friend & I (it's very busy on the weekend) but the barista helped us find a spot & was super sweet.

The food is really good, & I love their matcha latte. However the music is too loud, I do not see the point in making the music so loud that it rings in my head, I can barely hear my partner speaking next to me. Please turn down the volume a little bit if possible, it's a waste of the space, amazing food & good drinks.

Been here twice now. Can't beat the atmosphere!
First time I came I had a vegan dish I can't remember the name of. But it was really good & well portioned! Second time I had a matcha latte as I wasn't as hungry as my boyfriend was. Haha. He loves the chicken - Karaage dish.
The biggest win is that this place is dog friendly! Even inside the building. We are thankful that we don't have to leave our dog in the car or eat in the car.
