Delightful culinary experience with excellent & attentive service, many tasty options for non-sushi lovers too. Finish with a crafty sorbet.
One of the most beautiful & cozy restaurants in Montreal. Jatoba is truly a vibe…lush with live plants (all real) & dramatic, oversized vines that make the space feel both intimate & elevated.
The service was outstanding, with an impressive level of attention to detail throughout the entire evening. You can tell they take real pride in the experience they create.
The food was excellent overall. The black cod was good, though I personally found it a touch on the fishy side, & the miso soup was a bit too salty & missing that deep umami richness I was expecting. That said, the boneless chicken wings completely stole the show-unlike anything I've ever tasted before. Absolutely fantastic & worth the visit on their own.
Overall, a stunning restaurant with exceptional service & memorable dishes. I'd definitely return.
À la hauteur de toutes nos attentes. Service impeccable, bouffe plus qu'excellente. Nous reviendrons très bientôt. Merci à toute l'équipe & surtout Pierre & Olivier!

Nous avons adoré la sélection du chef, le service était impeccable, tout ce que nous avons mangé était délicieux!! Bonne carte des vins & les cocktails étaient rafraîchissant! Je recommande le restaurant les yeux fermés!!
You can never go wrong with having an incredibly delicious meal at Jatoba.
From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave every need is catered, & every bite of food is a delicious experience in the mouth & soul.
Love this place.!
C'était l'anniversaire de mon garçon & il a voulu me faire découvrir cet endroit qu'il a été plusieurs fois déjà.
Nous somme arrivés à l'heure d'ouverture en soirée à 17:00, à la réception on nous mentionne que les tables sont complets pour 18:00 alors on nous propose de manger au bar.
Le service rien à dire, c'est très bien contenue la renommée de l'endroit.
Le personnel au bar très aidant nous aident à bien choisir nos plats.
Nous avons pris le riz aux canards confits, Spareribs Rubis à l'anis étoilé & poulet sauté au Wok à la sauce aigre douce.
Les plats sont arrivés tous en même temps, à noter que les assiettes sont chaudes.
Pour le goût il n'y a aucun point négatif.
La présentation est relevée.
Points positifs: le personnel, le service, la nourriture, l'endroit est décontracté & la musique pas trop forte.
Points négatifs: portion versus le prix laisse un peu à désirer. Définitivement il ne faut pas avoir trop faim.
Très belle expérience au Jatoba. Les saveurs sont recherchées, les plats que nous avions choisis étaient tous excellent & avec un bel équilibre.
Petite déception sur les desserts. Attention rien à dire sur les goûts, ils étaient bon mais un peu en décalage avec ce qui est proposé pour les entrées, plats, etc..
Le service super, avec un bel accompagnement.
Endroit qui donne envie d'y retourner.
The spicy edamame are no joke, my wife binged them all as they were so tasty! The side effects kicked in almost immediately & ended up exploding in the bathroom. Not cool, but ending up leaving all the sushi for me, excellent food! Overall 8/10 experience! Would definitely go back, just beware of spicy food.
We thoroughly enjoyed our work/birthday lunch at Jatoba. The food was incredible & staff welcoming & knowledgable. I would recommend Jatoba in a hearbeat & will most certainly return. The $55 lunch menu was perfect (& we added some dessert as well :-) )
