Review summary

What guests say about Le Jus

Le Jus is highly praised for its smash burgers, especially the honey chicken burger, the Rookie, and the classic burgers that are juicy and flavorful. The fries are often mentioned as a highlight, but a few reviews note that they can sometimes be overcooked or, on the contrary, undercooked, and some feel the overall price is a bit high. The service and atmosphere are generally described as very welcoming and warm, although a few customers had a bad experience with the staff’s attitude. The restaurant is small, so it’s a good option for a casual meal or takeout if you’re looking for a good burger in Montreal.

Excellent food and even better staff. Started coming towards the opening and now it’s a part of my routine. My girl and I come here once every two weeks, have tried everything on the menu and ordered so many Rookies that I’ve started to get called out on it. Amazing place and I can’t recommend it enough. Locals are lucky this opened on Monkland, definitely a staple.

Fantastic smash burger location Le Rookie is so good. Cream cheese and hot honey is an incredible mix of flavors that blend so well together. +2$ for extra patty (very reasonable price). Cheesy fries were really good too. All around fantastic burger experience. Definitely recommend for all burger lovers. Service was super friendly. Atmosphere in the restaurant is great with nice decor and games available to play too.

A Five-Star Masterpiece of Culinary Aggression Oh, please—strap yourselves in. If you’re tired of "edible" food and "reasonable" textures, you simply must visit Le Jus on Monkland. I’d give it five stars, but honestly, five stars feels like an insult to the sheer, unbridled local heroism happening in this tiny room. Here is why you need to drop everything and support these "good local people" before they accidentally fix the economy entirely: The "Smash" in Smashburger We started with the classic hamburger. It’s a "smashburger," and they really took the name to heart. Most places just sear the meat; these visionaries apparently pulverized it into a state of crispy, lacy defiance. The Bun: Suspiciously soft. Like a cloud that’s given up on life. The Cheese: "Delicious" in that way that makes you wonder why you ever bothered with fancy imports when you could have this molten yellow joy. The Fries: Let’s talk about the oil. It was so fresh I suspect they pressed the olives (or canola, or whatever magical elixir they use) right behind the counter while staring me in the eyes. Lightly spiced, crispy, and—thank the heavens—not frozen. Because nothing says "I’m a culinary elite" like identifying a potato that hasn't seen the inside of a freezer. The Weaponized Chicken Sandwich But the pièce de résistance? The Fried Chicken Sandwich. This isn’t a meal; it’s a structural integrity test for your jaw. "I have to tell you, it was the best fried chicken sandwich I’ve had in Canada. It was so crispy that I remarked to my son that I’m afraid I’m going to break a tooth." Finally! A restaurant that offers the thrill of a high-stakes dental emergency with every bite. If you aren't risking a $2,000 crown for a spicy honey glaze, are you even eating? The combination of that glaze and the jalapeños provides a lovely distraction while you pray your molars hold up against the sheer, tectonic crunch of that breading. Why You Must Go Support them. Not because the food is good (which it is, in a terrifyingly crunchy way), but because they are "local." And as we all know, local calories don't count, and local grease is basically a charitable donation to the neighborhood. Go to Le Jus. Bring your son. Bring your dental insurance card. It’s a riot.

The chicken burgers were amazing. The beef burgers were super tasty but also super smashed. Easy on the smashing boys!

Hands down best smash burger and chicken sandwich spot in montreal. Chef is an absolute assassin in the kitchen, I casually walked in and ordered 1 smash and 1 chicken, I was so shocked I got up and asked for another burger and the guy suggested the smash with honey and jalapeños/cream cheese, unforgettable. Chef knows how to make a proper skirt for a smash burger, thin crispy perfection. Only sad part about my experience was not having enough room to try more things. Highly recommended, absolute gem for montreal.

It's hands-down the best Smash Burger on this side of town. I had The Rookie, and it was a work of art. Seems like a busy little spot, but I arrived at 6pm on a Thursday night and was still able to have "date night" vibes with a friend that gave us plenty of time to eat and get in a good visit/chat. May have been a bit too crowded for that if we'd have gone at 7pm. I will be going back to try the chicken sandwich soon. The anime decore was unique and a welcome addition to NDG.

I ordered via Uber Eats, this is one of the best smash burgers in town. So tasty, big portion, it will definitely be a repeat for me. My photo may not do it justice but that’s the classic burger.

A surprise of a burger joint. Going in, there's a few place to sit and seems to invite you to chill with board games available. You're welcome by a small counter to order where the staff is friendly and will just openly chat with you. The service is quick as you'd expect with flavorful food. The smashburger is well executed letting the beef shine in all of its crispy edge glory! The price is decent too. Not to take away from the star, but the fries are amazing and for me, were the highlight. If you're in the neighborhood and craving for a burger, you can't go wrong here.

Best value for price I’ve had in a long time! 🍔 ​The Food: Fast, fresh, and packed with flavor. ​The Price: Unreal. ~$15 or less for a burger and a cheap upgrade to a combo. ​The Vibe: Chill, non-formal, and the staff are incredibly welcoming. ​It’s rare to find quality food at this price. The sauces and concepts are very well thought of a little wink to the Philippines and the montreal culture is all over this menu. The fried chicken is generous and flavourfull definitely worth the try. Don't sleep on this spot!

Sorry,this missed the mark for me. I ordered the bbq burger to go with fries. Im not sure if the excessive salt is the norm but it was way too much for me. The burger was not it for me. It seemed like mayo was added and its not on the ingredients. Also there was so much sauce that the patty seemed non existent. And no napkins on such a messy burger. I had high hopes.
