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

Recommended by an acquaintance, & seconded by a bartender in a more touristy part of the city, this speakeasy offered us an adventurous experience. Almost invisible from the outside, J. Jacques invited us to pass through a black curtain & - voilà! - took us to another place. It had perhaps the best drink menu I've ever seen, with a range of classics on the left & new concoctions on the right of every page. The tower of seafood was fun, but the drinks are clearly the highlight, from a very talented bartender. A strange fellow customer, a shoeless & almost shirtless local yokel, provided unintentional entertainment with his drunken singing (had he perhaps performed at the folk night at the FEQ the night before?). The wait staff was very attentive & kind, & offered excellent recommendations in perfect English when our French faltered (which was very quickly!). This is one of my favorite, most unforgettable restaurant experiences ever. Highly recommended!

What a hidden gem. We almost weren't sure if we were at the right entrance until we were led through the velvet drape to the bar area. We came here for cocktails only but already bookmarked it for dinner when we return to QC in the future. Our server was really friendly, providing recommendations & personally guiding us through the cocktail menu. Our cocktails were so complex in taste that we have truly found a true speakeasy in Quebec.

amazing food, unique & innovative drinks, this speakeasy type of restaurant is one of a kind! it was a little confusing by to find but well worth the it. oysters were super delicious & fresh. fried fish was beautifully fired & still retained optimal moisture, accompanied by a asian inspired sauce. scallops were perfectly cooked & super tender. pasta was perfectly al dente & the filling was rich. veal paired with the creamy tuna topping was a match made in heaven. highly recommend visiting if you're in the area!

i'd recommend making a reservation

Took my fiancée to JJacques for her birthday weekend in Quebec City, & it was fantastic! The whole experience is pretty cool, starting with buzzing at a discrete grey door to get in - kind of felt like a speakeasy. Inside, it's got a great, bustling atmosphere.

We sat at the bar, which was awesome because we got to see all the food, especially those impressive seafood towers, being prepped. We had some of their specialty cocktails - super tasty. Then we went for the triple seafood tower, & man, it was all incredible! Taylor loved the mussels & the lobster with garlic butter. I was all about the scallops & sea bream.

Seriously, JJacques was a highlight. Great food, cool unique spot, & a really fun night. Definitely recommend it if you're in Quebec City!
