About the restaurant

Behind a closed door and heavy curtains lies the dreamlike world of jjacques, a timeless space where bar and kitchen unite to offer an experience out of the ordinary. Is jjacques a restaurant or a cocktail bar? That’s for you to decide. The menu highlights the bounty of the sea, while also featuring fine cuts of meat and seasonal products. Ranked the 10th best bar in the country in 2025, you’ll find creative cocktails alongside timeless classics, renowned spirits, and a carefully curated wine list. The kitchen is open until 1 am every night. Reservations are highly recommended.

My wife and I had a lovely meal. Highly recommend sitting at the bar; both watching and speaking with the chefs was great. Cocktails were excellent, food was excellent, wait staff was excellent and knowledgeable. Would happily come back next time we're in QC.

In the gourmet world of Le Continental, traditional cuisine is classical. Enjoy the perfect service, the great flambéed dishes that pay tribute to the delicious French cuisine.

It offers a choice of more than five thousand bottles, four hundred different varieties from Grands Crus classés to affordable prices.

Another excellent experience with remarkable dishes, both in presentation and taste. The layered asparagus with cheese sauce were delicious, the lamb perfectly cooked and seasoned and the tiramisu completed nicely the meal. Views in the St-Lawrence river remain memorable.
