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.

This place was the highlight of my trip to Quebec City.

The ambience was great; the music, the lighting, the decor.

The cocktails were very good (my husband & I shared three between the two of us), as were the oysters & blinis with gravlax.

The best part of our experience here was our server Nicholas, who took excellent care of us & made my birthday very special.

Highly recommend, & we will be back!

This is apparently a new restaurant in Quebec city. It has an'speak easy' atmosphere where you enter thru a back door after you ring the doorbell for someone to let you in 😁
The food & drinks were amazing! I had the Pornstar martini with passion fruit, & I loved it!
We ate the'staple' seafood tower for an appetizer with oysters, clams, mussels, & big prawns.
Then, we continued with a delicious Halibut crudo. For the main dish, we had the'whole' deconstructed fried fish. The flavor was amazing! Only bones left on the plate 😄
We finished with a lemon tart that hit the right spot after all the seafood he had.
Hugo was amazing & took care of us from the moment he opened the door for us until we left 2 hours later.

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

Really cool spot in Québec City. Perfect place to grab some great drinks in a chill speakeasy vibe. It's cozy, the decor is beautiful, & the cocktails are creative & super tasty. I had oysters too - they were excellent. Just a solid vibe all around. Highly recommend.

What a memorable night. Our waiter Nicolas was a superstar. Engaging, informative, friendly & the entire team was seamless with their service. The mixologist was A-mazing. Best cocktails we've had in a while. Tokyo Drift, El Diablo & Snowbird were our favourites. The warm oysters & cod fritters for starters were delicious, followed by entrees of Risotto & Scallops, & whole fish fry - done to perfection. Topped off the evening with a Lemon tarlette. Everything was beautifully plated/presented. The bar & banquette area were bustling with conversation & music whereas the high tables in the back are quieter for more intimate conversation. Great experience & we'll definitely go again.

More focus on food than on cocktails.. Hospitality was ok ... its understandable that oysters are expensive but as a cocktail bar's focus should be on cocktails.. We asked the server for the dealer's choice as always to find the potential of the cocktail bar & all we were offered was menu cocktails.. We got 6 cocktails & all of them were average... I would not recommend this cocktail bar .
