OSMO X MARUSAN Café-Terrasse

The coffees and the sandwiches were to die for. The entire place is super cute and very pleasant to hang at. We got there right before it started being a bit crowded so it was perfect. The outdoor area also seemed like a vibe and the employees we talked to were polite and kind. Going back for sure so that I can try the other sandwich!

The place is not a typical cafe in terms of coffee and treats. A lot of the drinks and food are based on Japanese cuisine. But it's good! Great atmosphere with vinyl records to choose from. So that makes it also a music bar. Nice lighting scheme with use of skylights. It's cool in summer and warm in winter. The biggest challenge is parking nearby to access the place.

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.

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.

matcha was good, although it was ~7$. I would’ve preferred a taller cup for that price! The texture was grainy (I got a hot matcha) which was weird. Long tables good to chat with strangers unless you want privacy then there’s also smaller tables. We didn’t realize until we were done but there was outdoor seating which is so nice. Chicken karage sandwich was really great & didn’t skimp on the protein !

love the vibe here and they have decent drinks!! their cookie is also rly good for the food i used to love their curry it was so flavourful and distinct but i think they might have changed it cuz this time it was very normal. the katsu it came w was rly nice tho, crispy and not dry! but i dont esp like the sandos either :( overall great cafe/study/chill spot but wouldnt come back just for food

Amazing food and drinks with a unique environment ! Definitely not a place to have a productive session since it can get quite noisy during peak times. Good if you’re bringing a friend to catch up with alongside good drinks and food. We came at 2pm and there was a huge line and the Sandos were out of stock. Definitely come early at 11-12 if you want to get more choices on their menu and possibly less wait time since we did end up waiting 20-25 mins for our meal. Very delicious and the chicken was crispy and fresh. Would definitely come back again!

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!
