About

Behind a closed door and opaque curtains, you enter the dreamlike universe of jjacques, a space disconnected from time where the bar and kitchen unite to offer a unique experience. For one evening, let yourself be carried away by the energy that pervades it, enveloped by colors, textures, and materials, and savor the present moment. Come and enjoy an intimate and sensory pleasure-filled moment.

Is jjacques a restaurant, an oyster bar, or a cocktail bar? It's up to you to decide.

The cuisine is centered around sharing, focused on seafood and comprised of small dishes, but not neglecting fine cuts of meat and seasonal products. To fully experience it, take the time to savor one of our enticing seafood towers.

The cocktail menu, themed around travel, offers you around twenty original cocktails, both with and without alcohol, as well as many elegantly executed classics. The wine cellar hosts both classic fine wines and little treasures in nature. The bar shelves are home to the finest available spirits.

Named in Canada's 100 Best as one of the top 50 bars in the country since 2022 and holding the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, jjacques promises you an extraordinary evening. Reservations are highly recommended.

Personnel attentionné & généreux accompagné d'une expérience culinaire incroyable! Merci à Martin qui nous a servi avec écoute & gentillesse; ses propositions accords mets vins étaient toutes sur la coche. Thumbs up à Jean-Filip (JF) qui a cuisiné devant nous en nous expliquant ses plats avec convivialité & bonhommie. Merci au JJACQUES pour cette soirée parfaite.
Gros coup de coeur pour les croquetas d'aubergines & le crudo de flétan.

JJacques was an outstanding find with an amazing atmosphere, superb cocktails & incredible food. The tomahawk steak was perfection & the oysters were fresh & delicious. The superb service by our waiter Nicholas topped off the experience for our group of 6. Highly recommended. The speakeasy entrance off the alley added to the whole experience. Well done!

Nous avons passé un moment fabuleux. Non seulement la nourriture était incroyable & pleine de saveurs mais ce qui fait de ce restaurant une réelle expérience est l'ambiance & le service apporté par Francis. Énormément de chaleur humaine, il nous a fait découvrir un excellent vin, mais aussi des adresses dans la région pour notre trip. En bref une expérience client assez rare . Merci nous nous en souviendrons !

I don't give many fives.... I would give this place a 6 if I could! Fun, beautiful, refined. All packed behind a surprising entrance that had my girlfriend asking if we had accidentally come to the back kitchen door 😁.
The service was spot on, the food wasn't good... It was incredible. The atmosphere blended modern & comfortable. Reservations are needed & it was fun sitting at the bar & watching the awesome staff cook & make meals. I can't recommend JJacques highly enough!!

Une petite perle cachée qui vaut le détour. Les meilleurs cocktails à Québec.

Quelle belle expérience au jjacques. Nous étions de passage au Québec & on s'est fait recommander la place par des restaurateurs de Montréal (allô projet pilote & merci). Nous aurions voulu donner 6 étoiles au service chez jjacques, Nicholas notre serveur était ultra connaisseur & attentionné. Il nous a fait nous sentir comme des réguliers même si c'était notre première fois. La nourriture mettait en vedette les fruits de mer de la région & les cocktails sont incroyables. Très belle carte de cocktail & de spiritueux (diversifiée & élégante). Ça vaut le détour par Québec !

Best meal of our entire Quebec City trip. jjacques is tucked behind an unmarked door off a quiet alley - we walked right past it before finding the entrance, which only added to the fun once we got inside.

The atmosphere is intimate & moody, almost like a speakeasy - a nice change of pace from the busier spots in Old Québec.

Food was outstanding: fresh, briny oysters, a rich & perfectly balanced lobster risotto, scallops seared to perfection, & a berry dessert that was the perfect light finish.

If you're in Quebec City, don't miss this one - just know to look for the unmarked door in the alley. Worth every bit of the search.
