Jatoba offre une expérience asiatique fusion raffinée avec des plats inventifs et équilibrés, allant du sashimi et des bouchées à partager au wagyu et aux touches miso, le tout présenté avec soin et style. L'ambiance est chic et accueillante, mêlant élégance et atmosphère animée qui est appréciée pour les occasions ou une soirée sophistiquée et conviviale. Le menu et la carte des vins reçoivent de forts éloges et les cocktails sont souvent mis en avant comme exceptionnels, bien que certains trouvent certains plats chers et que le service puisse varier, surtout lors des périodes de forte affluence. Dans l'ensemble, il se démarque comme l'une des meilleures adresses de Montréal pour la gastronomie, le service et l'ambiance, avec la plupart des visites laissant les clients impressionnés et prêts à revenir, même si quelques expériences manquent légèrement de constance.
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.
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.

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!
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.

Outstanding Lunch at Jatoba - Juliette Made It Exceptional!
We stopped by Jatoba for lunch & were absolutely blown away. The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented - every plate felt like a small work of art. The setting was elegant yet relaxed, perfect for a midday break.
What truly made the experience unforgettable was our waitress, Juliette. She was warm, attentive, & made us feel genuinely cared for from start to finish. Her recommendations were excellent, & her friendly energy added so much to the meal.
Jatoba is always a great choice, but Juliette turned a great lunch into a fantastic one. We'll definitely be back - & we'll be asking for her again!

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.
Excellent meal & wonderful service. Lots of choices. Maybe the best scallops I've ever had. Beautiful decor & interesting music at a moderate volume so we could enjoy it & hold a conversation.
Beautiful setting with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The food & cocktails were nothing short of exceptional, perfectly balancing traditional & modern Japanese flavors. The staff were both friendly & professional, with spot-on recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. Highly recommended!
