Super delicious burger for those who love smash 😋 also very nice vibe and friendly staff My fries were a bit undercooked (still firm in the middle) but it could’ve just been a bad batch (also ended up eating all of them lol so take it with a grain of salt). Speaking of salt.. very salty! But I love salt. I think the fries and the burger were perfectly seasoned As others have said, I think the tables are quite uncomfortable and inconvenient, especially for a messy food like a burger where you have to keep it on top of the plate

A perfect new option for you to relax "just right". This isn't just a place to eat burgers; it's more like a community living room, with an elegant yet unpretentious atmosphere, perfect for savoring your meal at a leisurely pace. All ingredients are sourced from Quebec. The beef patties are incredibly tender, paired with a rich tomato sauce, each bite absorbing the essence of tomato, 5 yrs cheddar cheese, and gravy.

Bonjour Timothée, Merci pour ton avis ! On est ravis que l'atmosphère et le smash bœuf t'aient fait cet effet ! C'est exactement l'énergie qu'on veut donner à nos soirées chez Bāgā ! On a tout aussi hâte que toi pour l'ouverture de la grande terrasse haha À très vite pour l'ouverture officielle de la terrasse ! L'équipe de Bāgā

Slightly pricier, but by far the best smash burger I have had in Montreal. Absolutely worth the extra ~2 dollars for the quality of the ingredients and care in preparation. Super interesting local drink options too (recommend the sparkling matcha drink). I hear the confusion over the awkward height of the tables, but I like that the tables can be moved around easily and find the configuration to be fun and playful. Looking forward to experiencing the outdoor space in the summer! They also have a GF bun option on the menu :)

I really wanted to like this place more, but it was just cringe watching ppl hunch awkwardly over burgers because the tables are low. Otherwise, the burger was passable and my fries were way over salted. However, the staff are great and really welcoming, I'll probably try back in a few months.

My new go-to spot for smash burgers! The staff is friendly, and they use local ingredients. The food is fresh and tasty — the meat is perfectly cooked, and the fries are just as good. They also have a veggie burger option. Plus, it’s a kid-friendly place, which makes it perfect for a casual family meal.

First thing: the burger is not drowned in sauce. No overcompensating, no mess for the sake of mess. It doesn’t rely on sauce the way a lot of places do, which means the meat actually has to carry its weight—and it does. Very well prepared, with something going on that we couldn’t quite identify. Maybe it’s the seasoning, maybe the technique, maybe just solid quality beef. Whatever it is, it's good. They also have a gluten-free bun option, which is always a nice touch. We paired it with a @messorembracitorium beer, which, as expected, was a good idea. And we had to have the cookies—massive ones from @paquebot_cafe, which we already love, so that’s an easy win. The seating is slightly confusing. The tables are low—like, tea-room low—which makes eating a burger feel like a bit of a posture exercise. Not exactly built for this type of food. Overall, it’s a simple smash burger. Nothing life-changing, not trying to reinvent the wheel—but solid. And in an area without many nearby smash burger options, it’s definitely a decent spot to have in the rotation

Hi! Coming from a Local Guide with such an extensive background, we really appreciate the detailed breakdown! 🙏🏻 We’re thrilled you noticed that we don't "drown" our burgers in sauce we're all about letting that high-quality, local beef speak for itself. We hear you on the seating, the "tea-room" height is definitely a unique vibe, and we appreciate the honest feedback on the ergonomics. We’re always looking for ways to balance our minimalist aesthetic with a comfortable dining experience! Big thanks 🙏 Bāgā's team

Tiny cosy place with probably the best burgers in Montreal, It's fresh, super tasty and the staff was super nice. If you want real burgers with a Japanese / French touch, go there. Favorite spot after a match !!

Very good burgers and friendly staff. All the ingredients are Canadian, and the menu is simple, which I really like. We had both the chicken and beef burgers, and they were equally good. The fries are great too. I usually add salt, but these were already perfectly seasoned with what seems like a house spice blend. The sauce served with the fries is also excellent. They add capers, which makes it stand out. I think it’s incredible value, especially considering the passion behind what is essentially a burger and fries concept. As for the seating, I initially found the low tables a bit unusual, but it ended up creating a relaxed, almost at-home feeling, like having a burger with friends. Overall, I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it. Great job.

May I ask if it is possible to order a burger and fries that has not been in touch with pork? I’m Muslim🤍 just asking before trying your restaurant

Good burger, good service, the only negative for me was the weird choice of "tables and bench" combo, not confortable at all. (see picture) Since we are in the winter, that was the only choice.

Hi V! 😊 Thanks for the 5 stars and for the "good burger, good service" shout-out! We hear you on the seating, our winter layout is a bit of a puzzle and we’re sorry the "table & bench" combo wasn't your vibe for comfort. We’re always looking to improve the indoor experience! The good news? Our terrace is coming soon for a much more chill and comfortable setup under the sun. Bāgā's team

Bāgā delivers on quality with incredibly fresh ingredients—you can really taste the difference. We tried both the Beef Smash and the Chicken Smash; while both were delicious, the beef definitely takes the lead. The fries are also perfectly "on point." At $14 a burger, the price is fair for a single meal burger, though it does add up quickly if you're buying for a family of six!

Hi Mike! Coming from a Local Guide with over 600 reviews, this means a lot! We’re thrilled you tasted the difference in our fresh, local ingredients, Beef Smash wins again! Glad the fries were "on point" too. We hear you on the family budget! For a crew of six, it’s definitely an investment, but we’re committed to keeping that $14 quality top-notch for every single burger. Bāgā's team

Its dangerous to have this place so close to me. Excellent smash burger with such perfectly balanced fixings. Everything is sourced as locally as possible, and it all just works together. The bun is actually perfect. I'm super picky about this, but here it stays soft, but doesn't completely disintegrate if the burger sits for 5 mins. An absolutely wonderful addition that's helping to modernize this side of Duluth street in the right way.

What more can you ask from a burger place? Honestly, amazing value for the level of effort, passion, and quality local ingredients in every part of the meal. The hospitality was great, and you can really see the passion behind the place. The interior is modern and very cool. Highly recommend. Even the chocolate chip cookie we got at the end was so good!
