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.

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 cafe is very cozy & original, the food & drinks are good, & staff are very nice. The sandwiches were very good, I haven't tried anything like that beforehand. Many people come to work or study there, it was hard to find a seat. It can get noisy with music, if you want to focus on something.

J'ai été extrêmement déçu de constater que lors de ma visite du café Osmo ce jeudi, 25 janvier 2024, il était absolument impossible de recevoir de la part des employés un service en français. Je ne m'attend pas ici à de la haute voltige linguistique, mais simplement quelques mots qui indiquent une forme de respect envers la société majoritairement francophone qui supporte ce café. Il semble malheureusement que ce soit impossible. Alors que le manifeste de la fondation Osmo, qui abrite elle même ce café, comporte un "engagement d'ouverture & d'inclusion", il me semble inquiétant de voir que cet engagement ne s'applique pas aux francophones qui le fréquentent. J'espère de tout coeur que la direction lira ce commentaire & apportera les ajustements qui s'imposent, avant qu'il ne soit trop tard & que nous assistions à la dégradation progressive de ce haut lieu de l'entrepreneurship montréalais.
