Recommended by an acquaintance, & seconded by a bartender in a more touristy part of the city, this speakeasy offered us an adventurous experience. Almost invisible from the outside, J. Jacques invited us to pass through a black curtain & - voilà! - took us to another place. It had perhaps the best drink menu I've ever seen, with a range of classics on the left & new concoctions on the right of every page. The tower of seafood was fun, but the drinks are clearly the highlight, from a very talented bartender. A strange fellow customer, a shoeless & almost shirtless local yokel, provided unintentional entertainment with his drunken singing (had he perhaps performed at the folk night at the FEQ the night before?). The wait staff was very attentive & kind, & offered excellent recommendations in perfect English when our French faltered (which was very quickly!). This is one of my favorite, most unforgettable restaurant experiences ever. 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.
