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.

Service très courtois, rapide, efficace & agréable. Portions extrêmement trop petites pour le prix : pour un plat entre 30$ & 40$, je m'attends à avoir plus de 5 bouchées. À 2 personnes, ça nous a coûté 300$ & nous avions encore faim après le repas, ce qui est inacceptable à mon avis. Il y avait trop de bruit dans le restaurant tellement qu'on ne s'entendait pas parler alors que nous avions une banquette quand même éloignée des autres personnes : il y avait un groupe de 4 filles derrière nous qui criaient sans arrêt & personne ne leur a demandé de baisser le volume, ce qui aurait été plus que nécessaire honnêtement. La nourriture était toutefois excellente & les cocktails étaient délicieux, quoique trop peu remplis encore une fois. Je comprends qu'il s'agit d'un restaurant haut de gamme pour découvrir différents plats de qualité supérieure & non se bourrer en quantité, mais nous avons trouvé que l'équilibre qualité-quantité-prix laissait à désirer. Nous ne recommanderons pas ce restaurant pour cette raison...

We sat in the banquette section which was very comfortable & intimate. From ringing the doorbell to get in to the end of the evening, this was an incredible experience. We decided to leave the cocktail(s) choosing to our waiter. He chose well! We weren't rushed at all. We made our way through a number of small plates over the course of about 2.5 hours. We had salmon bites, BLT oysters, raw oysters, burrata (amazing), carpaccio, pasta, broccoli, & both desserts. We were in foodie heaven & highly recommend Jjacques.

Wonderful evening! The food was amazing-oysters, beef carpaccio, whole fish & pasta. Every dish was perfect! Cocktails are a must too. Excellent, friendly service. A bit difficult to find, but that's to be expected for a speakeasy! Look for the address & name at the top of the door. Highly recommend!

Cette soirée était inoubliable, surtout grâce au service de Valérie & toutes ses recommendations de cocktails délicieux, ainsi que le service d'Hugo avec l'explication des plats succulents. Ils ont aussi été attentifs & flexible au niveau de mon allergies au noix/arachides. Je recommanderais cette expérience à tous ceux qui ont la chance d'être dans le coin!

Talk about a hidden gem! This was probably our best meal in Quebec City. It's in an alleyway where you ring a doorbell & are welcomed into a speakeasy atmosphere. They have an extensive cocktail menu. The food is meant to be shared. They have a bunch of raw bar options. My husband really enjoyed the oysters. I would recommend the scallops & cavatelli. The service was impeccable. Sam took very good care of us. It's not at all pretentious. I would definitely recommend it for a unique evening out.
