Jatoba delivers a refined Asian fusion experience with inventive, well balanced dishes that range from sashimi and shareable bites to standout wagyu and miso elements, all presented with care and flair. The ambiance is chic and welcoming, mixing upscale polish with a lively atmosphere that many reviewers appreciate for celebrations or a stylish night out. The menu and wine list receive strong praise, and cocktails are often highlighted as exceptional, though some guests find certain courses pricey and note variability in portions or pacing, especially during busy lunch service. Overall, it stands out as one of Montreal's top spots for food, service, and atmosphere, with most visits leaving guests impressed and planning a return, even as a few experiences fall short or feel rushed.
Jatoba is hands down our favourite restaurant in Montreal. We're from out of town & every single time we visit, this is our must-have dinner reservation. We honestly don't even bother trying anywhere else anymore.
The food is always incredible & the menu has so much variety. We usually do the chef's tasting & it never disappoints. The sashimi is unbelievably fresh, every plate is beautifully presented, & even as someone who normally skips dessert, I enjoyed it.
What really makes this place stand out though is the overall experience. The service is flawless without ever feeling pretentious, drinks are never empty, the table is constantly refreshed, & every little detail is taken care of. Having Chef Olivier come by to check on us & walk us through the dishes really added such a personal touch. You can see the staff genuinely takes pride in what they do, & it shows in every part of the experience. You truly feel looked after from start to finish.
We celebrated a birthday this time & they made it feel so personal & special. Every visit here reminds us why we keep coming back. Whatever you're doing, don't change a thing.

We tried a couple of options, & everything was tasty. The ingredients felt fresh, the presentation was appealing, & the flavors were well balanced. It is on the pricier side. Overall, a great experience.
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!

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.
