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!

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.

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.

Très belle expérience au Jatoba. Les saveurs sont recherchées, les plats que nous avions choisis étaient tous excellent & avec un bel équilibre.
Petite déception sur les desserts. Attention rien à dire sur les goûts, ils étaient bon mais un peu en décalage avec ce qui est proposé pour les entrées, plats, etc..
Le service super, avec un bel accompagnement.
Endroit qui donne envie d'y retourner.

We thoroughly enjoyed our work/birthday lunch at Jatoba. The food was incredible & staff welcoming & knowledgable. I would recommend Jatoba in a hearbeat & will most certainly return. The $55 lunch menu was perfect (& we added some dessert as well :-) )

Nous avons pris un lunch pour deux au Jatoba &, honnêtement, la nourriture était superbe. Le restaurant est magnifique, l'ambiance vraiment agréable. Le personnel est très sympathique aussi.

Par contre, le service était un peu moyen cette fois-ci. On avait commandé des frites qui n'ont jamais été apportées, & ça a pris vraiment longtemps avant d'avoir la carte des desserts. On voulait du champagne avec le dessert & là aussi, l'attente a été assez longue. C'est dommage, parce que dans l'ensemble, l'expérience était très bonne & le potentiel est là.

Je reviendrais pour la qualité de la cuisine, mais j'espère que le service sera plus fluide la prochaine fois.

Good food! & our server offered us a complimentary dessert for something that happened out of her control & I really appreciate those gestures!

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.
