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 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!

Best meal of our entire Quebec City trip. jjacques is tucked behind an unmarked door off a quiet alley - we walked right past it before finding the entrance, which only added to the fun once we got inside.

The atmosphere is intimate & moody, almost like a speakeasy - a nice change of pace from the busier spots in Old Québec.

Food was outstanding: fresh, briny oysters, a rich & perfectly balanced lobster risotto, scallops seared to perfection, & a berry dessert that was the perfect light finish.

If you're in Quebec City, don't miss this one - just know to look for the unmarked door in the alley. Worth every bit of the search.

JJacques is an amazing hole-in-the-wall speakeasy tucked away in Lower Québec City. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, highlighted by a long bar & an impressive back bar that showcases an outstanding selection of spirits. The servers are friendly, attentive, & fully bilingual, making everyone feel welcome. The cocktail menu is exceptional, featuring creative, expertly crafted drinks that rival those of much larger establishments. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or simply looking for a unique night out, JJacques is a hidden gem that's well worth discovering.

I love an elegant speakeasy & this was truly the perfect setting for a Saturday evening with the girls. Did not have any reservations but its highly encouraged if you don't like to wait. So much drinks to choose from, uniquely curated & so on brand for them. Non drinkers can also have a good time. Service is fast & efficient. Staff is very attentive & friendly. Like

Nothing but amazing things to say about this speakeasy! The oysters are a MUST (their spicy sauce with mango is unreal), the cocktails cater to everyone's taste, their service is over par. Nicholas is so friendly, professional & helpful - made us feel right at home. Would recommend in a heartbeat & will be back very soon!

Don't miss this place!!! hidden gem in a very touristy city. We missed the entrance twice but luckily we called & the host came outside & waved us down! Speakeasy vibes at the entrance, coat check & great aesthetic inside. Elevated but hip. Some of the best cocktails. Service was great & the food was fresh & flavorful. Vibes were high & a great playlist
