Une expérience absolument exceptionnelle chez Jatoba! Dès notre arrivée, le service était impeccable : professionnel, attentionné & surtout d'une rapidité incroyable. Tout était parfaitement orchestré du début à la fin.

Les sushis étaient tout simplement incroyables… frais, raffinés & tellement fondants en bouche! Chaque bouchée était une véritable explosion de saveurs.

C'était vraiment une expérience exceptionnelle, autant pour la qualité de la nourriture que pour le service & l'ambiance. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter & où je retournerai certainement! Merci à notre serveur: alexis!

Une expérience absolument incroyable au Jatoba. Tout était au rendez-vous, du début à la fin.

Un immense merci à Catherine & Audrey pour un service exceptionnel : attentionné, professionnel, chaleureux & parfaitement rythmé.

& que dire du menu exceptionnel du chef Olivier : créatif, précis, surprenant & parfaitement exécuté. Chaque plat avait sa personnalité & nous a fait voyager. Une expérience culinaire extrêmement enrichissante qui sort réellement de l'ordinaire.

On ressent le souci du détail partout, autant dans l'assiette que dans le service & l'ambiance. C'est exactement le genre de soirée qui nous rappelle à quel point la restauration peut être une véritable expérience.

Bravo à toute l'équipe du Jatoba & merci pour cette soirée mémorable. On reviendra assurément.

Service was attentive & timely but could have been a touch more engaging.

I will definitely be returning next time in Montreal

Some places have a great atmosphere & beautiful interior & others. It's just the food that's amazing. You don't always get those. But here you do. Absolutely love their duck confit fried rice. & José dumplings are super delicious. But what took me by surprise on my recent visit was their dolce de Leche dessert. It was so good!
