About

Osmo X Marusan occupies a distinct underground space defined by an industrial aesthetic and a lively, resonant atmosphere. The menu emphasizes Japanese-inspired snacks such as crispy karaage and savory katsu sandos paired with delicate tamago. Guests encounter a selection of matcha and hojicha lattes prepared with deep, earthy tea profiles that balance the bold textures of the food. The venue integrates an expansive outdoor terrace that contrasts with the enclosed, modern interior design. Vibrant musical selections fill the space, contributing to the energetic environment that defines this unique hangout. These features combine to create a singular experience where minimalist architecture meets traditional flavor profiles in an unconventional setting.

Review Summary

Osmo X Marusan is widely recognized for its unique industrial bunker-style aesthetic, beautiful natural lighting, and vibrant, music-heavy atmosphere that attracts a steady stream of students and socializers. The café is frequently praised for its high-quality matcha, hojicha lattes, and Japanese-inspired menu, with many patrons highlighting the egg and katsu sandwiches as satisfying highlights. While the interior design and overall vibe are consistently described as a major draw, experiences vary regarding food consistency, wait times, and noise levels. Some visitors find the portions small or the flavors mild, while others appreciate the fresh ingredients and cozy terrace. Despite occasional reports of slow service or crowded conditions, many guests consider it a must-visit destination in Montreal for its stylish environment and distinctive drink offerings.

Food is decent & it has a big portion but takes a while to make (it takes about 20min for a sandwich). If you're going to order the egg sando, add salmon & curry since the egg itself is too creamy (unless you like them that way). The atmosphere is nice, but music is loud (idk if that's supposed to be the vibe of the place)

Pretty cute cafe with indoor & outdoor seating We tried the curry katsu which was really good. It was crispy on the outside but super juicy on the inside. We also got the iced chai & ice dirty chai. Couldn't taste much of the chai as the espresso was quite overpowering. The regular chai didn't have a strong chai flavor either, tasted more milky. However, the staff was super kind & fast.

Délicieux! J'ai mangé un sandwich au poulet karaage & je le recommande! La cuisine ouvre à 11:00 pour les repas.

J'ai été impressionné par le décor du café, c'est un peu caché mais ça vaut le détour. J'ai pris un cappuccino vraiment très bon, il y a un bon rapport qualité prix. La nourriture est un peu cher par contre mais à l'air d'être très bonne !! Café filtre classique & très bon également, bref parfait pour chiller, travailler ou encore pour un date ! Je recommande x10

Ce lieu très populaire, notamment auprès des étudiants qui viennent y étudier toute la journée, est souvent bondé. Je suis venue 2 fois &, à 2 reprises, j'ai eu de la difficulté à trouver une place convenable pour m'asseoir. Je précise également que la pièce est assez bruyante, ce qui peut déranger certaines personnes souhaitant se concentrer. Malgré cela, j'ai beaucoup aimé le latte hogicha ainsi que l'absence de frais supplémentaires pour les laits végétaux. J'aimerais revenir pour tester la nourriture qui a l'air très appétissante, que ce soit les curry & les sandos.
