All-you-can-eat Korean BBQ is one of the most dynamic categories in Québec's restaurant industry. Mon Ami holds a leading position — with a model designed to be replicated.

Established Brand

A reputation built over more than a decade in Montréal and beyond, backed by a loyal community and a strong social media presence.

Growing Demand

The enthusiasm for Korean cuisine in Québec continues to grow. The all-you-can-eat format attracts families, groups, and young professionals.

Proven Profitability

A business model validated by high-performing corporate and franchised restaurants, operating year after year.

Resilient During Slow Periods

A strong value-for-money positioning that sustains traffic even when consumers tighten their budgets.

Replicable Model

Standardized menu, exclusive recipes, negotiated suppliers, and documented operating procedures — everything is designed for deployment.

Hands-On Franchisors

You work directly with operators who still run their own restaurants — not a distant corporate office.
