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 food & cocktails get an A+ but the service is what makes jjacques Iconic!! Nicholas is a superstar in my mind. So thoughtful. So attentive. Best service received in North America thus far. Absolutely love & will be back. ❤️
Best restaurant experience I had during my 5 day visit to Quebec city. Interesting good cocktails & beautiful tasty dishes. It came recommended & did not disappoint!
Une très belle expérience entre les cocktails, les fruits de mer & un service impeccable, quoique un peu $$$, mais qualité des aliments oblige, ce restaurant est une très belle découverte.
J'adore♥️

Service très courtois, rapide, efficace & agréable. Portions extrêmement trop petites pour le prix : pour un plat entre 30$ & 40$, je m'attends à avoir plus de 5 bouchées. À 2 personnes, ça nous a coûté 300$ & nous avions encore faim après le repas, ce qui est inacceptable à mon avis. Il y avait trop de bruit dans le restaurant tellement qu'on ne s'entendait pas parler alors que nous avions une banquette quand même éloignée des autres personnes : il y avait un groupe de 4 filles derrière nous qui criaient sans arrêt & personne ne leur a demandé de baisser le volume, ce qui aurait été plus que nécessaire honnêtement. La nourriture était toutefois excellente & les cocktails étaient délicieux, quoique trop peu remplis encore une fois. Je comprends qu'il s'agit d'un restaurant haut de gamme pour découvrir différents plats de qualité supérieure & non se bourrer en quantité, mais nous avons trouvé que l'équilibre qualité-quantité-prix laissait à désirer. Nous ne recommanderons pas ce restaurant pour cette raison...
Un incontournable quand on vient à Québec. Nourriture & cocktails exceptionnels, service impeccable, ambiance parfaite. Déjà 3 visites & certainement plusieurs autres à venir. À bientôt!
We sat in the banquette section which was very comfortable & intimate. From ringing the doorbell to get in to the end of the evening, this was an incredible experience. We decided to leave the cocktail(s) choosing to our waiter. He chose well! We weren't rushed at all. We made our way through a number of small plates over the course of about 2.5 hours. We had salmon bites, BLT oysters, raw oysters, burrata (amazing), carpaccio, pasta, broccoli, & both desserts. We were in foodie heaven & highly recommend Jjacques.
Une très belle expérience, un bel accueil, une belle ambiance, un personnel gentil & respectueux. Un repas extraordinaire, un vrai délice, nous avons dégusté chaque bouchée avec délectation. Des cocktails bien équilibrés & de bonne suggestion pour le vin. Je referais l'expérience n'importe quand. Il est certain que j'y retournerai. Une belle expérience à tous les points de vue.
Presque parfait , personnel sur la coche maîtrise, les re & tes, les vins & cocktails...bravo... je vais revenir à coup sûr.
Bonne continuation....

Wonderful evening! The food was amazing-oysters, beef carpaccio, whole fish & pasta. Every dish was perfect! Cocktails are a must too. Excellent, friendly service. A bit difficult to find, but that's to be expected for a speakeasy! Look for the address & name at the top of the door. Highly recommend!
