OSMO X MARUSAN Café-Terrasse

Young cool hip vibe. This place was a club or a music venue before turning into a cafe? Serving Japanese street dishes, along with specialty drinks. Very popular, and line can be long, but large outdoor seating can accommodate many customers.

The café has a really cozy and 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 and the pork chop curry rice. The sandwich was nicely seasoned and 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 and well done. Overall, the food was good, but the portion sizes were a bit small for my appetite.

My family came in August 2024 as we were craving Japanese egg sandos. To our surprise, the katsu sando was even better than the egg sando. The fillings were plentiful and flavourful, and we recommended this place to friends as well. We passed by Montréal again on a road trip and stopped for a quick bite. Our second visit was still good, but the katsus were much thinner than the year prior (as evidenced in the attached photos). That said, I'd still recommend this place for anyone who wants to try authentic Japanese egg or katsu sandos.

The egg sandwich was so good. The mayo was very light, as someone who highly dislikes mayo, this was very good. The cookie was nice since the chocolate got balanced by the walnut and it had a lot of flavour.

The most delicious egg sandwich I have ever had. The yolk was cooked perfect. The atmosphere is very hipster and unique. Lots of students doing work but the food is just too good! The chicken sandwich was also very very good.

I can’t believe we have such a cool place like this in Montreal. The food just blows my mind. I had the egg sandwich, which was perfect. The environment—both outside and inside—is fantastic. For summer, it’s just so convenient. The menu isn’t huge, but the drinks and food are delicious. I’ll definitely be back again!

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 and we were already there, we waited.. The food came, and 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 and no chicken lol. Also the tamago is ok not too tasty.. Also ordered their Hojicha Latte and 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!!! :))

The vibe of the place is nice and the food's good. But one of the servers made the experience uncomfortable. Imagine this place came highly recommended by peers and it’s your first meal of the day, but the service ends up leaving you frustrated.
