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.

Cette soirée était inoubliable, surtout grâce au service de Valérie & toutes ses recommendations de cocktails délicieux, ainsi que le service d'Hugo avec l'explication des plats succulents. Ils ont aussi été attentifs & flexible au niveau de mon allergies au noix/arachides. Je recommanderais cette expérience à tous ceux qui ont la chance d'être dans le coin!

Frank makes great drinks! No doubt this is the best cocktail bar in Quebec city, & the food is on par! However it is still a little away from the top 50 from many aspects. But if your customers are all red necks ordering cavier, who cares about ranking?

Cocktails were spot on. I had the scallops & they were delicious & just the right amount. Wife had the sea bass which was incredibly fresh, buttery & delicious as well she shared with me. Don't skip the cannoli desserts. Overall a great experience.

My wife & I had an incredible evening here. Neither of us had been to a speakeasy style restaurant & bar & JJacques was a great introduction to this style of dining experience. Sam took very good care of us - I enjoyed a dozen oysters (the chef's special daily sauce is truly incredible) while my wife had the shrimp cocktail. My wife's lime daiquery was amazing & my "mile high club" was a close second. The blini were also very good. We also had the cavatelli & the scallops were very good. We ended with a decent kouign-amann. Perhaps our best dinner in Quebec but we did have a lot of beer good meals so it's a tough call...

Talk about a hidden gem! This was probably our best meal in Quebec City. It's in an alleyway where you ring a doorbell & are welcomed into a speakeasy atmosphere. They have an extensive cocktail menu. The food is meant to be shared. They have a bunch of raw bar options. My husband really enjoyed the oysters. I would recommend the scallops & cavatelli. The service was impeccable. Sam took very good care of us. It's not at all pretentious. I would definitely recommend it for a unique evening out.

Great Quebec speakeasy on a backstreet, with a great atmosphere. Cocktails were good, glasses of wine with a 4oz pour a little stingy for the price Our server & everyone was very friendly. Food was delicious, if pricey, but this was a splurge evening out for us on vacation. The prime rib could have been cooked a little more, the sea bass was delicious, as was the endive salad.
