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.
I was there for lunch with a group. I had the miso soup & sashimi lunch express. The sashimi isn't served the traditional Japanese way with wasabi, & yet the ginger & the sauce made it very delicious. The side salad of kohlrabi was super fresh & it had such a nice crunch. The mocktail aloha jatoba is a nice drink if you like fruity taste. The restaurant has beautiful decor & excellent service. There's a complimentary coat room at the reception. An excellent idea for winter!
Amazing food, ambience & vibe. The staff were extremely polite & friendly as well. Highly recommend trying to crispy rice cake sushi! It was out of this world. :)
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 !

Incroyable expérience au Jatoba! Comme d'habitude, nous avons adoré tout ce que nous avons commandé mais c'était notre première fois au bar & sincèrement, c'est devenu ce que je préfère! Le service que nous avons reçu par Thomas était génial! Dégustations de drinks, présentation d'aliments mystères, c'était divertissant & interessant & ca a rendu notre expérience encore plus wow. Nous avons découvert le drink le plus délicieux à base de cognac & liqueur de mandarine & pêche! Deplus, Nathan notre serveur a su nous recommander exactement ce que je voulais, un plat rafraîchissant & savoureux. Service hors pair, je leur lève mon chapeau. Quelle belle soirée! MERCI!! Worth every penny!
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 !

Très heureuse & satisfaite de notre repas & du service exceptionnel de Marie-Suzanne. Excellentes recommandations de sa part & super sympathique! Merci encore :)
We celebrated my girlfriend's 40th birthday last night & had an unforgettable supper at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the host greeted us with a warm smile & made us feel genuinely welcome, setting a relaxed & celebratory tone for the evening.
Our waiter was attentive, courteous, & friendly throughout the meal, always checking in at just the right moments & acknowledging that it was a special occasion for us.What truly elevated the experience was when Chef Olivier personally came to our table to say hello & present a few of the dishes himself. This thoughtful gesture made us feel incredibly honored, & my girlfriend felt extra special, as if the whole team was celebrating with us.
The combination of warm hospitality, professional service, & that personal touch from the chef turned a simple night out into a beautiful memory that we will cherish for a long time.
We would wholeheartedly recommend this place for anyone looking to celebrate an important milestone or simply enjoy a memorable evening.
A heartfelt thank you to Chef Olivier & the entire staff for making this celebration so memorable & for treating us with such care & kindness. Your attention to detail & genuine hospitality did not go unnoticed, & we are deeply grateful for the experience you created for us.
