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.
This cafe was right beside where I was staying in Montreal, so I had to try it out. I was so pleasantly surprised - it is such a vibe! It's quite obvious which items are the most popular, including the egg sandwich which we ordered multiple of. It was certainly delicious, & not something you can order just anywhere!
I also enjoyed all the iced drinks, which came for free with the purchase of a bag of coffee beans.
Really enjoyed my visit overall! The matcha was rich & flavorful, & you could tell the mango was fresh rather than frozen, which made a big difference. The café has a lovely atmosphere & is a nice place to sit & relax.
It was quite busy during my visit, so it was a little noisy & made it a bit difficult to communicate with the staff. My food arrived about 15 minutes after ordering, which was reasonable considering how busy it was.
The egg sandwich looked amazing, especially with the perfectly jammy egg, & I was really excited to try it. While the presentation was excellent, I found the flavors a little milder than I expected. The bread was quite simple, & the sauce didn't add much flavor. I think a bit more seasoning or a more flavorful sauce would really make this sandwich shine.
Overall, it's a charming café with fresh ingredients, great drinks, & a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely come back & look forward to trying more items on the menu!
They bring you the food to the table which is nice. The food is tasty but not something I would come back for. I had the sandwich with just the eggs. It was a bit too salty even for someone like me who eats sodium like it's water. The lavender tea tasted pretty good but there were particles of what I'm guessing is tea, so it was a bit unpleasant to drink. The atmosphere is what I disliked the most. It's very dark inside, not all the tables are cleaned & the metal chairs & tables aren't the most comfortable.

Tucked away in what almost feels like a hidden alley, Osmo x Marusan opens up into one of the coolest & most beautifully designed cafés I've visited. The modern interior is stunning, & once the sunlight hits the disco ball & reflects throughout the shared space, the atmosphere becomes something truly special. There's a reason there's always a line. The atmosphere for me is the biggest pull for this cafe.
We came early in the morning & tried the hojicha latte, matcha latte, the matcha with poured-over espresso, croissants, & both the chocolate & matcha cookies. The cookies were the standout from the pastry side-solid, satisfying, & definitely worth ordering. It's not seeet, right chewiness. The drinks were all very good, although I'd say Montreal already has many excellent cafés, so the beverages themselves weren't necessarily unique.
Another standout in this place is the overall experience from the crew, they were all fantastic-kind, welcoming, & genuinely helpful.
Brunch service starts at 11 AM, & we stayed to try the chicken katsu with rice & the pork katsu curry. Both bowls were crispy, tender, & beautifully executed. The biggest surprise was the chicken katsu: despite using breast meat, it was incredibly juicy & tender. They absolutely got it right. Topped it off with Hojicha tiramisu which felt good to seal off the appetite.
Taking everything into account-the food, drinks, service, & especially the atmosphere-this is easily one of the best café experiences I've had out of the hundreds that I've been to.
Excellent sandwiches (tamago & karage chicken are standouts), drinks, & the architecture is pretty fascinating too. Outside patio is cooler than you'd think, even in the hot summer, & very tranquil.
The vibes here are immaculate & I loved my drinks + sando! Such a cute spot to work (though a lot of the seating is social only) & it was super chill in the morning. Gets busy at 11 when the lunch menu comes up but it's worth it!
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.
