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.

Expérience absolument incroyable au resto-bar Jjacques jeudi dernier lors d'une escapade avec mon copain! La présentation & la saveur des plats étaient sublimes & le service, plus qu'impeccable! Je vais recommander cet endroit absolument charmant à tous les épicuriens qui veulent essayer quelque chose de différent! Merci encore au resto-bar Jjacques pour l'accueil irréprochable! :)

We had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The vibe was fantastic,relaxed, stylish, & perfect for a night out with friends
. The chefs & bartender clearly know their craft; every dish was not only beautifully presented but also full of flavor & creativity. I ordered the fish, & it was incredibly fresh,easily one of the best I've had recently.
What made the experience even better was the service. The manager & servers were all warm, friendly, & attentive without being intrusive. They gave us excellent recommendations, & every dish they suggested turned out to be impressive. The atmosphere was chill yet refined, making it a great spot for both casual hangouts & special occasions.
Highly recommended,& I'll definitely be coming back!

Once we found the door, the host was very welcoming. We sat at the bar, & our waiter was very attentive. Even having a delicious cocktail to pair beautifully with dessert.

J'adore cet endroit! Pour avoir testé les 2, je préfères être assise a une table plutôt qu'au bar, je trouve que ça rend l'expérience plus intime.

A little gem hidden in a dark street! Main room around the bar is gorgeous, wish I had the chance to sit there. The backroom is more discreet & intimate. Lovely staff, very nice & welcoming. Highly recommend the seafood towers.

It is very rare that I give a 5-star review on a first visit, but JJacques definitely earned it. Luxurious, intimate atmosphere right from the greeting at the nondescript door into the dining area. Knowledgeable, friendly service at the bar. Impeccable quality seafood. Well-mixed cocktails. Great wine advice. Added to my go-to list for my next trip to Québec!

More focus on food than on cocktails.. Hospitality was ok ... its understandable that oysters are expensive but as a cocktail bar's focus should be on cocktails.. We asked the server for the dealer's choice as always to find the potential of the cocktail bar & all we were offered was menu cocktails.. We got 6 cocktails & all of them were average... I would not recommend this cocktail bar .

If you're only in Quebec City for a short while, then you gotta go to Jjacques! I recommend sitting at the bar for a more intimate experience.

I have visited jjaques twice now & will continue to come back anytime I'm in QC! The staff are incredibly talented, hospitable, & friendly. The food is delicious, & the cocktails are works of art! The head bartender Fran is fantastic & made the whole experience even better! Last time I was there I had the best espresso martini of my life & he remade it for me even though it's no longer on the menu! 10/10 all around!
