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.

Came for the egg sandwich, stayed for the CURRY! Egg sando was definitely good, but I was blown away by the depth of flavor in the curry. It was a cold day & it warmed my soul. Will definitely be coming back with friends to show them my cool new find. Chai Latte was epic. Wish I took pictures, everything looked great, but I was super hungry haha

I enjoyed my veg curry. The only thing I’d say is I think the tofu had this airy dry texture & bland taste that made it require a lot of sauce to get the flavour & satisfying mouth bite right & while there was just enough sauce for that, i think it would have benefitted from more added to the bowl. The sauce was great : it had the flavour of a special curry & the texture of a lobster sauce. The pickled veg was a nice addition & the portion of rice was generous. I really appreciated the care that went into the green tea latte. It was my first time trying one & now my standards are high: wouldn’t settle for anything less fluffy, creamy & rich in that green tea powder. My friends & I sat on the terrace in the mid-fall so the wasps seemed to finally have gone on to other destinations & we were able to enjoy a peaceful lunch on a nice day thanks to the big picnic benches & calm minimalist modern atmosphere secluded from the streets. I paid at the front & paid tip before knowing I would have to go outside & wait & then come back to get my own tray to bring to my table outside which was all a bit difficult to navigate because when I left my table someone else took it because I couldn’t leave my stuff there unattended & if I had to have been carrying things with me other than my backpack & Fanny pack lol I may have dropped stuff or my tray but luckily no accidents happened. When my three friends ordered after me they were given a number & the waiter brought them their food & drinks. Seems like the logic is a bit backwards so hopefully this feedback is taken into consideration. I’d definitely come back to try other menu items especially on a day or evening with a dj

This spot draws a nice crowd, & for good reason. The food & drinks are masterfully made & presented, pricing is unpretentious, staff are good peoples & the playlist is curated for both efficient work & conversation. I can’t fault it here.
