JJacques offers a unique and memorable speakeasy experience in Quebec City, celebrated for its warm, intimate atmosphere and exceptional hidden entrance.

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.
A little gem hidden in a dark street! Main room around the bar is gorgeous, wish I had the chance to sit there. The backroom is more discreet & intimate. Lovely staff, very nice & welcoming. Highly recommend the seafood towers.
I just ate the best carpaccio I've ever had in my life. Every bite was filled with so much flavor. The atmosphere of this place is top notch. We love looking for speakeasy places around the world & this one exceeded expectations. The service right from Sam at the front door to our waiter to the head chef, Alex - they all made the experience. Drinks were delish & everything we ate on the menu was perfection. Highly recommend a stop here!
Had a lovely dinner here, delicious oysters, shrimp, pasta & asparagus salad. Nice cocktail menu & wines. Impeccable service. It is hard to find - the entrance is in the back, no signage out front. Highly recommend, it's outside of the old town tourist business, a short 15 min walk into Saint Roch neighbourhood.

I stayed at the Hotel PUR & found this restaurant just a block away. I was very hesitant to find this restaurant in the first place. I thought I came to the wrong side with the back door entry. However, it is the main entry with a door bell. The staff was amazing & the food was incredible. I am from New York & their seafood is way better than any seafood restaurant in New York. Will come back & highly recommend!
A gem well hidden! ✨️ Beautifully decorated, elegant with a touch of sultryness to it. The servers were attentive & well knowledged with the menu & the cocktails offered. The food was amazing with a specialty to sea food. Highly recommend!
The whole experience was fabulous! We loved the cocktails, the scallops were prepared perfectly, & the caviar was sublime. Our waiter Sam was able to help guide cocktail choices based simply on our taste preferences. Highly recommend! Be prepared to spend a pretty penny - worth every cent!
Honestly, may be my favourite spot in Quebec City. A memorable evening with top shelf cocktails & well executed & innovative cuisine. I highly recommend.
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.
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!
