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.

Review Summary

JJacques offers a unique and memorable speakeasy experience in Quebec City, celebrated for its warm, intimate atmosphere and exceptional hidden entrance. Visitors frequently praise the expertly crafted cocktail menu and an impressive selection of spirits, which stand out as highlights of the establishment. The food consistently earns high marks, particularly the fresh, high-quality oysters and creative seafood dishes, all delivered by attentive and bilingual staff who are dedicated to providing professional service. While it is a popular spot that can become busy, the overall quality, stylish decor, and meticulous attention to detail make it a highly recommended destination for both locals and travelers seeking a special dining experience.

Went here for a date & made reservations for 9 p.m. as I heard they get fairly busy. It is located in a sort of sketchy area as you do have to walk down an alley to get here. Since it is a speak easy it is a very discreet door you need to find. Once inside you are transported into a very cool, dim, busy atmosphere. There are booths & tables at the front but I sat in the back room which is much more intimate & quiet. Service was great & informative. Ordered a few cocktails (which are very creative & tasty.) Ordered a seafood platter which had a variety of items (tartare, sashimi, & oysters), great if you want to try different things & don't know what to get. The oysters were so good we ordered more separately. Also tried the mushroom dish (Mushroom 5 ways) but it was a littler underwhelming & I woudn't get again. Overall a really nice place for a date & good seafood. I would definitely recommend if you are in Montreal.

Quaint, cozy & hip. Seafood tower was fabulous, & we only had the one tier version! Cocktails were unique & crafted with great care, which shows in the complex flavors.

Samuel est un excellent serveur.
La nourriture était bonne & les cocktails très bons, mais c'est son service qui nous a le plus plu.

Merci à notre serveur Nicolas pour la belle soirée ! La carte des vins pourraient être un peu plus audacieuse mais les cocktails étaient sublimes. Rien à redire pour la nourriture & l'ambiance, on a eu beaucoup de plaisir. Merci !

Now I understand why my girlfriend was begging me for weeks to go there, it is simply amazing. The food, the cocktails, the service ! My tummy gets upset when I eat seafood so I like the fact that the menu contains other delicacy.

A fun speakeasy highlighting seafood & quaffable cocktails. We ordered 2 starters, a seafood tower & it was more than enough food. Nicolas was our server & he was exceptional. He even went out of his way to recommend wines when we asked. I can't wait to come back!
