Overall reviews describe Jatoba as a refined Asian fusion destination with outstanding, beautifully presented dishes and fresh sashimi, complemented by a chic, lively ambiance and attentive service. The cocktails and wine pairings are frequently praised, and staff are noted for knowledge and friendliness, making celebrations or date nights feel special. While the experience is consistently described as excellent and worth the price, some comments call out the high cost, occasional slow service or pacing during busy times, and a few notes about uneven service at the bar or in the dining room. The restaurant is often listed among Montreal's best dining spots, with many guests planning a return and appreciating the chef's touches and the care in plating and ingredients. Reviewers also highlight the variety of dishes, the ability to accommodate dietary preferences, and the opportunity to sample many plates in a shared, tasting style, even as a few find acoustics or meal pacing could be improved.
Super belle expérience!
Un énorme merci à Thomas, bartender ultra à l'écoute, qui prépare des cocktails vraiment hors de l'ordinaire, chaque verre était une surprise réussie.
La morue, recommandée par l'hôtesse Gabrielle, était absolument délicieuse, cuite à la perfection!
Notre serveur Marc a été aux petits soins avec nous du début à la fin.
& que dire des sushis Bluefin… ils étaient tout simplement à tomber par terre!
Merci à toute l'équipe pour cette soirée mémorable. On revient, c'est certain !
Une soirée inoubliable, de la nourriture exceptionnelle, une ambiance chaleureuse, de bons cocktails! Les recommandations des serveurs & serveuses nous ont beaucoup aidé dans notre choix, menu pour tous les goûts !
Merci !
Gros coup de coeur pour le Jatoba! Les cocktails & la nourriture étaient délicieux. Tout était frais & très bien présenté. Le service était excellent, la serveuse nous a donné de très bonnes recommandations. Ambiance agréable & personnel vraiment gentil.
The whole experience was absurdly fun & wonderful, very enjoyable staff members, food is just delightful & the cocktails are really special for the type of establishment they are running.
The inside decor fits the theme perfectly & it feels like a whole atmosphere to eat in.
Only'bad' point about my dining experience, the waitress never gave us the dessert card, another waiter came & offered it, seeing as the waitress assigned to my table was busy, but I personally don't consider it a negative point, simply shows that they all work together in a team at Jatoba.
Definitely go for the experience.

Honestly, not one negative aspect about Jatoba! The food was astonishing - the flavours englobe your mouth. The service is impeccable in this establishment. Catering to your needs & always making sure everything is to your liking. Thomas, the bartender, is an absolute gem. I had a cocktail that I want to realize & he make it to perfection. Would without a doubt, recommend this place for a night out with a friend or even a date!
Absolutely delicious! The cod recommended by the server was excellent, & the mushroom side dish was just as impressive. The bartender, a genuinely friendly man, customized a cocktail to suit my taste - a nice touch that made the experience even more enjoyable. I come to this restaurant often because the dishes are consistently flavorful & well-executed.
My bill came to $200 for a cocktail, one main dish, a vegetable side, & a glass of wine. It's not cheap, but the food & service are definitely worth the price. Highly recommended for a refined yet welcoming dining experience.
One of my favorite places for top notch Asian fusion cuisine restaurants in Montreal.
We ordered Ha Gao?Sweet & Spicy Chinese Eggplants, Crispy Tofu , Spicy Salmon Tartare , caramel cake & of course the most tasty cocktails. You can tell the chef is very particular on the freshness of the ingredients. Enjoyed the service & the ambience at this place. I will definitely revisit this little gem next time.
Atmosphère soignée & très agréable;,nourriture raffinée, recherchée; à un niveau supérieur; cocktails d'exception & que dire du service hors pair & extrêmement courtois & réactif de tout le personnel! & le dessert au caramel qui nous tirait presque les larmes aux yeux de bonheur, comme dans le film Ratatouille! 🤣😇Juste Wow! Nous nous sentions dans un lieu d'exception. Une EXPÉRIENCE vraiment des plus agréable. Je recommande & nous y retournerons assurément. Ça vaut chaque dollars dépensés! Merci
Notre serveuse s'est occupé de choisir nos plats du début à la fin, tout était excellent. Des cocktails délicieux, une carte des vins super & des plats extraordinaires! Je recommande fortement!

Une expérience impeccable pour un anniversaire. J'ai déjà recommandé chaleureusement le Jatoba à mes amis. Les cocktails sont savoureux & inspirés. J'ai mangé le meilleur sashimi. Il n'y a aucun mauvais choix sur la carte. La carte des sakés est impressionnante. Vraiment un coup de coeur. Nous y retournerons.
This was our first time eating at Jatoba. We sat at the bar. The bartender, Thomas, was so friendly & informative. He gave us some tips on making cocktails for when we entertain. Our server was very attentive. She gave us good recommendations. Our dishes were brought out promptly & everything was delicious & well presented. The atmosphere was cozy & inviting. The place was filled with beautiful plants.
Beautiful dinner with the wife ! Great ambiance. We sat at the bar. Started with a cocktail then wen for Sake ! Great night & service although a bit pricy.
