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.

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.

JJacques was an outstanding find with an amazing atmosphere, superb cocktails & incredible food. The tomahawk steak was perfection & the oysters were fresh & delicious. The superb service by our waiter Nicholas topped off the experience for our group of 6. Highly recommended. The speakeasy entrance off the alley added to the whole experience. Well done!

Best meal of our entire Quebec City trip. jjacques is tucked behind an unmarked door off a quiet alley - we walked right past it before finding the entrance, which only added to the fun once we got inside.

The atmosphere is intimate & moody, almost like a speakeasy - a nice change of pace from the busier spots in Old Québec.

Food was outstanding: fresh, briny oysters, a rich & perfectly balanced lobster risotto, scallops seared to perfection, & a berry dessert that was the perfect light finish.

If you're in Quebec City, don't miss this one - just know to look for the unmarked door in the alley. Worth every bit of the search.

Wish I was able to spend more time here but we came on Valentines day with no reservations so we were able to get in for a few minutes before the scheduled party was due to show. We had oysters & cocktails & both were 10/10

drinks are really good - but the oysters are the best oysters i've ever had in my life. I literally went back to back days just for the oysters. Absolute must

The oysters were amazing & so fresh. We had Silver monk, À la Lousiana, Tokyo drift & bicycle thief which were all amazing. Everything was so worth the price & definitely worth the hype of being the top 10 bars in Canada

This speakeasy was amazing. Alexandra (Alex) made our dining experience with her knowledge & attentive nature wonderful. The baked whole fish & oysters were delicious & well worth the visit.

Nothing but amazing things to say about this speakeasy! The oysters are a MUST (their spicy sauce with mango is unreal), the cocktails cater to everyone's taste, their service is over par. Nicholas is so friendly, professional & helpful - made us feel right at home. Would recommend in a heartbeat & will be back very soon!

Wow!! Hard to find but once you do it's so worth it. Truly a hidden gem. We had oysters & some cocktails & everything was fantastic. Staff is absolutely incredible, shoutout to Martin for all his help! Best stop of the trip.

Wow, we had cocktails & dinner here last night & everything was fantastic.
Selection of cocktails was impressive- many different styles & complex. We sat at the bar & it was a really fun experience to watch them get made.
Food wise, highly recommend the butterfish tataki & foie gras torchon. We also ordered oysters (delicious!), mushroom tortellini & poached pear for dessert. All were excellent.
Service was 10/10 from start to finish- servers were lovely & attentive.

Would highly recommend & suggest reservations as it got busy really fast!
