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.

JJacques offers a unique and memorable speakeasy experience in Quebec City, celebrated for its warm, intimate atmosphere and exceptional hidden entrance. Visitors frequently praise the expertly crafted cocktail menu and an impressive selection of spirits, which stand out as highlights of the establishment. 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!

I don't give many fives.... I would give this place a 6 if I could! Fun, beautiful, refined. All packed behind a surprising entrance that had my girlfriend asking if we had accidentally come to the back kitchen door 😁.
The service was spot on, the food wasn't good... It was incredible. The atmosphere blended modern & comfortable. Reservations are needed & it was fun sitting at the bar & watching the awesome staff cook & make meals. I can't recommend JJacques highly enough!!

Quelle belle expérience au jjacques. Nous étions de passage au Québec & on s'est fait recommander la place par des restaurateurs de Montréal (allô projet pilote & merci). Nous aurions voulu donner 6 étoiles au service chez jjacques, Nicholas notre serveur était ultra connaisseur & attentionné. Il nous a fait nous sentir comme des réguliers même si c'était notre première fois. La nourriture mettait en vedette les fruits de mer de la région & les cocktails sont incroyables. Très belle carte de cocktail & de spiritueux (diversifiée & élégante). Ça vaut le détour par Québec !

Ambiance & style. We wandered out into the city looking for a Ramos Gin Fizz, & were delighted to find this gem. Highly recommend a visit to this cool establishment.

We came here on a recommendation from a friend & didn't know what to expect. This is one of the the highlights of our trip. Would 100% go back & recommend everyone to go.

Highly recommended for seafood lovers. The Platter seafood is good for two & the lobster risotto is a must. The service was excellent & food was phenomenal.

Everything from the food, service & atmosphere was very enjoyable! The food was absolutely delicious & served very fresh. I highly recommend their cocktails, one of the most diverse & beautifully crafted cocktail lists I've ever seen. You'll see what I mean when you go. It will keep me coming back all the way from another province. Thank you! Merci beaucoup.

Highly recommend this special place.

Quelle maîtrise des cuissons ! Pour ma femme qui tente l'agneau dans chaque restaurant & moi les fruits de mer, la versatilité de l'équipe en cuisine se ressentait dans chacun des plats.

& que dire des recommandations des vins pour accompagner !

Chez Jjacques vraiment ils font rimer appétence avec compétence.

This place is absolutely ace & was our favorite place we dined during our stay in Quebec City. The cocktails were delicious & varied, the food was wonderful (every course), & the service was excellent. In addition to recommending menu items, Nicolas/Nicholas was amazing & really went out of his way to recommend things to see & do, including things that weren't on our original list. Even sketched out a little map for us. We will be back when we return. Thank you for a memorable visit.
