Osmo X Marusan occupe un espace souterrain distinct défini par une esthétique industrielle et une atmosphère animée et résonnante. Le menu met en avant des en-cas d'inspiration japonaise comme le karaage croustillant et les sandwichs katsu savoureux accompagnés de tamago délicat. Une sélection de lattes au matcha et au hojicha propose des profils de thé profonds et terreux qui équilibrent les textures marquées des plats. L'établissement intègre une vaste terrasse extérieure qui contraste avec le design intérieur moderne et fermé. Des sélections musicales vibrantes remplissent l'espace, contribuant à l'environnement dynamique qui définit ce lieu de rencontre singulier. Ces éléments se combinent pour créer une expérience unique où l'architecture minimaliste rencontre des profils de saveurs traditionnels dans un cadre peu conventionnel.
Osmo X Marusan est un lieu très populaire au design unique à Montréal, mêlant une esthétique industrielle rappelant un bunker à une atmosphère sociale et animée. Les clients louent régulièrement la qualité exceptionnelle du matcha, des lattés au hojicha et du menu d'inspiration japonaise, notamment les divers sandwichs et plats de cari. Bien que beaucoup trouvent l'environnement parfait pour travailler ou socialiser, d'autres notent que l'espace peut devenir très bruyant et fréquenté, avec parfois des DJ qui ne conviennent pas à ceux cherchant le calme. Les avis sur le service et la constance de la nourriture sont partagés, certains trouvant les plats frais et délicieux tandis que d'autres les jugent fades ou les temps d'attente trop longs. Dans l'ensemble, l'endroit est considéré comme une destination branchée et mémorable pour ceux qui apprécient une expérience de café dynamique et artistique.
Today (June 24) late morning I went to this cafe to try their coffee, terrasse & food which were good. However, the issue is with the differential treatment I received from the cashier when I stood in the line. In front of me there was a white girl whom the cashier spoke to very nicely & ask how she was. When my turn came, the cashier's attitude suddenly shifted to a defensive attitude, cold smile, not the same treatment she offered the customer before me. An hour later I went to order some food & again the same attitude. I felt targeted by this lady.
To be fair, the people who were serving the food & making the coffee were much friendlier to me.
One of the most stylish cafes in Montreal. Remarkable design, excellent coffee, warm & kind service along with a very nice view of an inner courtyard. All served alongside Japanese sandwiches & snacks. Gets very busy around lunch.

Très belle découverte 🥳! L'endroit est charmant & confortable, le café ☕?est délicieux & les sandwichs sont excellents. J'ai passé un très bon moment & je reviendrai certainement chaque week-end avec mes amies🙋🏻?♀?💁🏻?♀?.
I only wanted a quick brunch item, so I swung by for the Tamago Sando after a wait of 10 min to order.
I actually liked the industrial vibe of the cafe, matching many of buildings & stations in Montreal, brightened up with the skylights & disco ball. There was more table space than expected from reviews, & I would def come back to work here.
Unfortunately, the Tamago Sando was just okay. It was a bit bland, nothing I'd strongly recommend to others. I didn't try the drinks this time around though.
Wow what a place. I have been to hundreds of cafes around the world & this has to be one of the best interiors I've seen. Absolutely stunning! Marked down the score on service as it was very slow when I was there & not much interaction with the staff.
I was really excited to try Osmo, which makes today's experience even more disappointing.
I arrived & joined the queue to order while waiting for a friend to meet me. I placed my coat on a table to save a seat, which is something many customers naturally do in busy cafés. A few minutes later another customer came over & told me that because he had ordered before me, the table was his. I politely told him I didn't really agree & suggested he speak to the staff if there was an issue rather than confronting me directly.
Instead, he sat down at the table anyway & got the staff involved. What surprised me most was that the staff immediately sided with him & told me that because he had ordered first, he was entitled to the table.
It honestly left me feeling really uncomfortable & disrespected. Even if that's the café's policy, the whole situation could have been handled with a lot more courtesy & professionalism. As a customer, I didn't feel valued at all.
I ended up leaving straight away without ordering anything, & sadly I won't be returning or recommending Osmo to others. Really disappointing!
A couple who I met at a bar tipped us off that this is the spot blowing up on IG. Apparently, there's a pretty cool underground cocktail lounge, but we just stuck around for the cafe.
Not sure why, but I almost always defaulted to iced when it comes to matcha & hojicha lattes. I honestly can't remember the last time I ordered one hot, so it was just nice to switch it up & taste something different. Nothing special but still a really solid cup.
The Tamago Sando was fantastic though. Wished the kitchen hadn't forgotten the smoked salmon I added, but even without, it was great. A perfectly fried jammy egg, cracked pepper, & Mornay sauce. Not the traditional Japanese Kewpie mayo route, but this fusion with French Mornay sauce based on béchamel base loaded with Emmental cheese, gave the whole thing a nice savory boost.
Best social café /restaurant/ concept with a smart Japanese touch in MTL. (Thanks to Hideyuki Imaizumi).
Food is simple & great. Prices are really OK.
Feel free to enjoy a cosy lunch there or dive into a musical experience with food & drinks that you will only get there.
