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.

If you're only in Quebec City for a short while, then you gotta go to Jjacques! I recommend sitting at the bar for a more intimate experience.

Honnêtement l'un des meilleurs restaurants que nous avons fait! Les repas 10/10 en termes de qualité, goût ainsi que l'harmonie de toutes les saveurs. Les connaissances & le service de notre serveur Sam aussi un 10/10. Je le recommande fortement!

Restaurant bar très particulier, de très haut niveau qui propose un menu réduit mais complet & succulent. Bien sur on y retrouve surtout des fruits de mer , mais également d'autres choix qui plairont à tous. Car tout est plus que bon,bien préparé, bien présenté avec un service exceptionnel. Même si ce n'est pas pour toutes les bourses,il vaut la peine d'y aller pour toute occasion spéciale. & je ne parle pas du choix quasi infini de cocktails & une excellente carte des vins. Je le recommande fortement puisque je considère JJacques comme le meilleur lieu de restauration à Québec.

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!

Went here for a date & made reservations for 9 p.m. as I heard they get fairly busy. It is located in a sort of sketchy area as you do have to walk down an alley to get here. Since it is a speak easy it is a very discreet door you need to find. Once inside you are transported into a very cool, dim, busy atmosphere. There are booths & tables at the front but I sat in the back room which is much more intimate & quiet. Service was great & informative. Ordered a few cocktails (which are very creative & tasty.) Ordered a seafood platter which had a variety of items (tartare, sashimi, & oysters), great if you want to try different things & don't know what to get. The oysters were so good we ordered more separately. Also tried the mushroom dish (Mushroom 5 ways) but it was a littler underwhelming & I woudn't get again. Overall a really nice place for a date & good seafood. I would definitely recommend if you are in Montreal.

A fun speakeasy highlighting seafood & quaffable cocktails. We ordered 2 starters, a seafood tower & it was more than enough food. Nicolas was our server & he was exceptional. He even went out of his way to recommend wines when we asked. I can't wait to come back!
