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.

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!

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 .

We had a great experience there! The concept with ringing the bell was mysterious! :) We absolutely loved the oysters, the octopus, the ceviche, the tataki & of course the selection of champagne! We recommend it for any occasions worth celebrating haha! Thank you Francis for the great service!

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.

Experience culinaire magique !! Je vous le recommande !! Du décor au détail dans chaque repas vous serez conquis! Les drinks sont d'un équilibre parfait, chaque plat est présenté & exécuté avec rigueur..bref rien n'est laissé au hasard ! J'ai pris les cannolis en dessert je suis tomber en amour ! Tout y était, de loin le meilleur dessert de mon année ! Merci à toute l'équipe qui offre à chaque fois une expérience VIP !

One of my top 5 dining experiences of all time. Food & drinks were fantastic, & the service was great. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone going to Quebec. Difficult to find, but that made it interesting.

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!
