Simply fantastic dinner. Each selection of food was wonderfully prepared. The sauces, textures, flavors all tied together to create a superb experience. In addition, we sat at the bar & watched meals created as well as a hands on & talented bartender preparing the drinks. The chef stopped by to ask about our food personally. We have traveled extensively over the years, & would rank Jatoba in the 5 best restaurants we have enjoyed. It was a wonderful experience & if our travels bring us back to Montreal, will be the first restaurant we book!
I arrived 1 hour before kitchen closed, & service was prompt, professional & shashimi was top notch & beautifully presented. I also had gyoza ( waygu) & Dynamite dumplings. Bar service on point. They also have a celebrated pastry-chef in-house, so I tried the 21-layer crepe citrus & the chocolate brownie , both excellent. Valet parking was prompt, if not a bit steep ($22.50).
Swanky, upscale décor. Don't sleep on this restaurant! A winner.
Jatoba was excellent, from the service to the food everything was held to high standards.
We started off with the Sashimi Platter & the Crispy Salmon Rice Cakes which are some the chef's specialty dishes. These were extremely fresh & delicious.
The drinks were very well crafted, nothing beats a crisp cocktail from a mixologist who knows how to pair flavours.
For the sushi, we had the lobster roll which was my favourite (I would have preferred it to not have asparagus as it paired well but in my opinion I could do without), the torched salmon nigiri was solid & the Bluefin Tuna maki just melts in your mouth from how buttery & fresh the tuna is.
We finished off with the tuna tartare cones which had a delicious soy emulsion. As for the dessert we had the caramel marshmallow plate & it was so delicious!
This place overall was fantastic, the owner Manolo really knows how to take care of his clients. The sommelier was very helpful during our dinner, the staff always came to clean the table & check up on us & they really go above & beyond for their guests.

Soirée parfaite !! Merci à notre serveur Nathan service incroyable & explication des plats parfait. Merci au chef Olivier pour le menu exceptionnel & les petites attentions ;)
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.
Nous avons adoré la sélection du chef, le service était impeccable, tout ce que nous avons mangé était délicieux!! Bonne carte des vins & les cocktails étaient rafraîchissant! Je recommande le restaurant les yeux fermés!!
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.
J'ai beaucoup aimé mon expérience au Jatoba. Ils sont reconnus pour leurs plateaux de poissons assez dispendieux, mais je voulais tester une première fois le restaurant pour pas trop cher avant. Ils offrent plusieurs options d'une grande qualité à un prix abordable. J'ai été ravi par la bento box que j'ai pu mangé. J'ai adoré ne pas savoir à l'avance ce que j'allais manger & laisser l'inspiration du chef faire mon repas. J'ai pu avoir un copieux repas qui explosait en saveur pour un excellent prix !
