About

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.

Unique café/restaurant with very brutalist design. Baristas were friendly. I'd recommend their matcha & katsu curry.

Very good sandwiches, the chicken curry is a little bland but still good. The matcha & yuzu lemonades are delicious. Great ambiance & architecture. Nice terrace in the back.

We loved our drinks, both look & taste were great! The food looks awesome but they can definitely work on the taste (the curry sauce was the best part of the food) The atmosphere is great for working for long hours

Cute environment, good coffee, & the katsu sando was a unique & tasty combo. A little loud in terms of music, but still a good place to meet & have a conversation.
