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.

amazing food, unique & innovative drinks, this speakeasy type of restaurant is one of a kind! it was a little confusing by to find but well worth the it. oysters were super delicious & fresh. fried fish was beautifully fired & still retained optimal moisture, accompanied by a asian inspired sauce. scallops were perfectly cooked & super tender. pasta was perfectly al dente & the filling was rich. veal paired with the creamy tuna topping was a match made in heaven. highly recommend visiting if you're in the area!

i'd recommend making a reservation

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!

Had the chance to go to Jjacques last Saturday. The cocktails were out of this world. We tasted the glazed carrots & foie gras, they were delicious. Impeccable service in a nice moody speakeasy. Highly recommended

Unfortunately I did not get to eat here because they were booked. However the guy at the door was amazing. My family & I had a busy day & did not know what time we would be available for dinner so we did not make a reservation. We had a very difficult time finding a place but jJacques came highly recommended. The place has the vibe like a secret speakeasy a concrete wall with a metal door that has the name printed very small, you have to knock to get in. The guy explained that they were full but he called several places he recommended around town to find something great for us. The nicest person we met on our whole trip. I hope we find time in the future to dine here.

Alex & his team were amazing & made us feel welcome. We really enjoyed mushroom fettuccine & fried fish. I highly recommend checking out this place.
