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.

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!!

JJacques is an amazing hole-in-the-wall speakeasy tucked away in Lower Québec City. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, highlighted by a long bar & an impressive back bar that showcases an outstanding selection of spirits. The servers are friendly, attentive, & fully bilingual, making everyone feel welcome. The cocktail menu is exceptional, featuring creative, expertly crafted drinks that rival those of much larger establishments. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or simply looking for a unique night out, JJacques is a hidden gem that's well worth discovering.

The oysters were amazing & so fresh. We had Silver monk, À la Lousiana, Tokyo drift & bicycle thief which were all amazing. Everything was so worth the price & definitely worth the hype of being the top 10 bars in Canada

Yesterday I was lucky to experience this place 🤩

I won't be the first one to mention secret door & all James Bond atmosphere but let me tell you: I was the first one to enter & in 5 min bar was full 😱

I was sitting right in front of the open kitchen & had a chance to see all of the beautiful dishes: maybe I'm easy to impressed but you won't judge me when you'll check the pictures 😅

It hard for me to find good dessert because I don't like too sweet things, but Pear in Wine totally matched my'perfect dessert' standard & left me wanting more ❤?

Some personal notes that are important for me: smell was clean & fresh (I could enjoy parfumes of other guests 🥰), music was nice & relaxing, all stuff was sweet & friendly. I really felt like a super spy enjoying my private time. I guess this place is even more charming if you have a couple or women to impress 😁🔥

Wow, we had cocktails & dinner here last night & everything was fantastic.
Selection of cocktails was impressive- many different styles & complex. We sat at the bar & it was a really fun experience to watch them get made.
Food wise, highly recommend the butterfish tataki & foie gras torchon. We also ordered oysters (delicious!), mushroom tortellini & poached pear for dessert. All were excellent.
Service was 10/10 from start to finish- servers were lovely & attentive.

Would highly recommend & suggest reservations as it got busy really fast!
