Les avis sur Osmo X Marusan soulignent un endroit vivant et prisé des étudiants, avec une esthétique moderne et japonaise et une ambiance propice au travail sur ordinateur et aux rencontres; la musique et la fréquentation peuvent être très fortes, ce qui convient à certains et peut gêner ceux qui cherchent le calme pour étudier; les sandos tamago et karaage, ainsi que le katsu et le curry, reviennent fréquemment en tête, accompagnés de boissons comme le matcha latte, le hojicha latte ou la yuzu lemonade, et plusieurs évoquent le goût et la texture comme des points forts, certains parlant du matcha comme exceptionnel, d’autres le trouvant plus ordinaire ou trop sucré selon les préparations; le service oscille entre attentif et chaleureux et parfois lent ou inégal, avec des retards ou des plats manquants lors des heures d’affluence; l’espace intérieur et la terrasse bénéficient d’un design attractif et d’un cadre agréable pour travailler ou se détendre, mais l’affluence et le bruit peuvent limiter le confort et le calme recherché; au final, Osmo X Marusan est perçu comme une expérience distincte et energique, offrant des sandos et des boissons qui valent le détour, tout en imposant patience et tolérance au volume sonore et aux éventuels temps d’attente.

Quickly served, nice casual laidback ambiance & the food was delicious. Went with the classic tamago sandwich & a matcha latte. Recommend & will go again
The café has a really cozy & inviting atmosphere, but it's not particularly suited for families with young kids. It feels more like a hangout spot for teenagers to socialize or meet new friends.
I tried the matcha latte - it was decent, though I personally prefer a stronger, slightly bitter matcha flavor. For lunch, I ordered the fried egg sandwich & the pork chop curry rice. The sandwich was nicely seasoned & quite enjoyable. The pork chop, while tasty, wasn't the traditional Japanese-style breaded version - it lacked the crispy panko coating you'd expect from a tonkatsu. That said, the curry sauce was very flavorful & well done.
Overall, the food was good, but the portion sizes were a bit small for my appetite.
Belle trouvaille. Un endroit où plusieurs jeunes branchés viennent travailler ou relaxer avec un livre & un café. L'espace est plus grand qu'il ne paraît, il y a plusieurs tailles de tables différentes. La musique est toujours bonne, & il y a parfois même un DJ présent. Un indicateur de décibels prouve que l'endroit respecte les clients. J'ai particulièrement aimé & DÉVORÉ le sandwich au saumon fumé, concombre & fromage à la crème. DÉLICIEUX. La fraîcheur des ingrédients était magique en cette journée de canicule. J'ai aussi goûté le sandwich aux oeufs, l'oeuf était préparé d'une manière que je n'avais jamais expérienced. C'était trop trop bon. J'ai pris un chaï latte glacé qui était non seulement tout mignon, mais aussi doux & bon, pas trop sucré même s'il était fait à partir de sirop. Mon amie a pris un cold brew, & la foam était majestueuse, c'était comme boire dans un gâteau moelleux. La terrasse est trop belle aussi. Je vais revenir c'est sûr! Surtout que j'ai appris qu'il y a les vendredis cocktails héhé
Great hangout/study space. Egg sando was bland & the bread texture is just okay (not fun to bite into); would recommend getting the Katsu sando in Chinatown instead. Chai Latte is also lacking flavor but not offensive.
Came here to find out what the hype was about.. we came a bit before they serve the sandwich. But there was a prob that occured, the air fryer was broken so we had to wait almost 40 min to get our sandwiches. Bc I wanted to try it so so bad & we were already there, we waited..
The food came, & honestly the taste was ok. It was not wow but it was a normal sandwhich that u could make at home.. also the karaage was tiny that I had a couple of bite with just bread & no chicken lol. Also the tamago is ok not too tasty..
Also ordered their Hojicha Latte & this was really good!! 10/10 , croissant is ok as well..
It's good to try once but not smt I'd drive 40min to try again 🙂🙂 Staff are very nice tho!!! :))
Osmo X Marusan Café-Terrasse is an absolute gem in downtown Montreal! From the moment you step inside this stylish, brutalist-inspired space, you know you're in for something special.

I love the Macha latte & enjoyed the sandwich over all. But wouldn't recommend if you want to sit down & relax for a while & chill because the environment is a bit noisy & crowded with the students. I rarely got my space on that day. Food are great though
Tried the karaage sando, tomago sando, & matcha latte. Latte & karaage sando were fantastic but I wouldn't recommend the tomago sando. Just a lot of sauce & bread with one boiled egg lol.
great food & cool vibes but definitely not a good place to get work done. it's located semi'underground' & has cool steel decor. the sandos are delicious & their matcha lattes are some of the best in the city! It does get quite loud in the cafe & the music is usually pretty loud too. plenty of seating but not enough outlets if you plan on doing work. Would recommend for going for lunch or hanging out!
I had a green tea, hojicha latte & took a matcha latte for takeout. The green tea & the hojicha was good but nothing exceptional. What stood out to me was definitely the delicious iced matcha latte. It was not bitter & had a unique flavour, more inclined on the leafy side than the sweet/nutty side of matcha that I've grown accustomed to. Although most of my cup was filled in ice, I enjoyed every sip. Can't recommend the matcha latte enough. The employees are very nice but I was not a big fan of the metal tables & metal bench aesthetic. I felt like I was back in school with the wobbly metallic tables lol. It's also a bit noisy in there, from the many students & the music. I wish I had tried their food but kitchen was not open on the day I visited. The prices are also very good, around 5$ per drink. Still debating wether or not to return to this cafe.

Amazed by their sandos & matcha latte! Might be difficult to find seats because tons of students would come here & study. But still highly recommended!
Excellente bouffe (j'ai pris le poulet Karaage Sando & un latte), service impeccable... Il y avait juste un peu trop de monde à mon goût. Il fallait se précipiter pour avoir une place assise, on aurait dit une cafétéria branchée pour étudiants. Comme si l'endroit est victime de son succès! Mais un bel endroit avec de bons produits & un super staff...

Nice place for brunch. It was very crowded on the weekends. Luckily, the weather was nice outside & we stayed in the terrasse. They have one of the best coffee machines from Italy & the milk they use is whole fat milk. Perfect for a flat white & matcha latte. They know their stuffs. The bread of the sandwiches were a little dried. I guess it was not as fresh as I imagined it. Ordered the chicken & the eggs sandwiches. Delicious 🤤 wish they out more chicken though
I'd suggest trying the karaage sando, but the tamago sando is quite overrated-it was pretty bland. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the matcha latte. The atmosphere was awesome, with R&B music adding a nice touch to the overall vibe.
