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.
the menu is small, but each of their picks are top-notch. love the atmosphere with musical selections being on point. be sure to enjoy the courtyard when the sun's out!
Excellente bouffe (j'ai pris le poulet Karaage Sando & un latte), service impeccable... Il y avait juste un peu trop de monde à mon goût. Il fallait se précipiter pour avoir une place assise, on aurait dit une cafétéria branchée pour étudiants. Comme si l'endroit est victime de son succès! Mais un bel endroit avec de bons produits & un super staff...

Extremely charming spot, good beverages, haven't tried the food but seems quite delicious. Music a tad loud so if you're looking for a quiet place I'd suggest elsewhere, otherwise definitely check it out!
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.
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.
The staff are always so nice, & they have an amazing variety of food & drinks. Would recommend their matcha, or any of their hot teas! Also, excellent music every single time I go. I've been introduced to so many new artists whenever I spend time there
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.
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.
Bon endroit pour venir prendre un fameux sandwich aux oeufs à la japonaise! Très bondé, le service à été un peu long. Très bonne idée de réserver des tables sans laptop pour les clients qui veulent juste profiter avec leurs amis durant le week-end! J'y retournerais pour le sandwich au Karaage!

Nice place for brunch. It was very crowded on the weekends. Luckily, the weather was nice outside & we stayed in the terrasse. They have one of the best coffee machines from Italy & the milk they use is whole fat milk. Perfect for a flat white & matcha latte. They know their stuffs. The bread of the sandwiches were a little dried. I guess it was not as fresh as I imagined it. Ordered the chicken & the eggs sandwiches. Delicious 🤤 wish they out more chicken though
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.
