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.
We had a wonderful time at Jatoba & left the following review on Google:
We had dinner at Jatoba to celebrate our 20th anniversary. This was our first visit here, being from out of town. We were greeted warmly & received a complimentary glass of champagne for the occasion. It set a really nice tone to the evening.
We love sharing plates & ordered a total of 5 dishes & 1 dessert. Our server made excellent recommendations to help us choose. My husband had the sea urchin with caviar & LOVED it ( I don't like sea urchin or caviar, so am not a good judge for this dish :-). My favourite was the filet mignon, which came with a sauce & vegetables that were simply dreamy. Dessert was a blondie with caramel & marshmallow cream - delicious.
The food at Jatoba is delicious & thoughtfully prepared. The service is remarkable: personable, professional, prompt, smooth, knowledgeable. & the ambiance is the right mix of lively & relaxed. Be prepared for a higher bill, especially if you order dishes with premium ingredients, & have several drinks or a bottle of wine. The only regret is that we could not sit in the terrace room with the red lanterns, maybe next time.
Fantastic evening with absolutely delicious food!!
Only downside is the price... 400$ for 2 persons with a bottle of wine (wine & dishes were all from the least expensive ones...) is too much even though the food is delicious....

No explanation about the dishes from the server
Portion too small
Food was great but the price is way to high compared to the quality of the dish
Spent close to 350$ for 2 & was not full after eating 5 dishes!
The cocktails were great. The service was wonderful. The food was at best good, but at the level of hype & price Jatoba set, I expect better than good. Perhaps most disappointing is I had nearly the same dishes over the course of my week in Montreal, but done better & for a lower price.
Delicious Asian-fusion dishes. Comfortable contemporary setting: both design-y & relaxed. Handsome servers, a little distracted. While very nice, all in all, menu is a bit too expensive.
The only way I can put it is overpriced & overhyped. I expected to be wowed by a dish at over $60 but it tasted like something I could get at any decent restaurant or make at home. The cocktails were the only thing that we greatly enjoyed. We ordered 5 dishes & they were good but nowhere close to incredible. What are people ordering to write these raving reviews

Service was excellent, very beautiful space & ambiance. The food was good but not good enough to justify the costs given the portions. My feedback would be to review certain dishes such as the brussel sprouts chips. Lovely experience overall. Thank you for having us.
One of the most upscale neo-Sushi restaurants in Montreal, Jatoba offers an excellent selection of sushi & other seafood dishes with an Asian flare, in addition to some meat dishes. While the dishes are large enough for individuals they are not huge so I would feel that this would be a "shared dishes" restaurant good for larger groups. The ambiance matches the upscale menu with the restaurant sub-divided into different seating areas but with openings in the walls to give the sense of larger edifice. There is also a very nice garden area in the back to enjoy in warmer months.
For our meal, we had a large offering...Gyoza (very good), Spicky Salmon Maki (very good), Hamachi Maki (good), Jatoba Cod (very good & tasty), Chilean Sea Bass (Excellent...crispy & flavorful), regular Sea Bass (also very good), Star Anise Spare Ribs (excellent), Lamb Shank (on the special...wonderful), & two desserts (Cookies & Cream & Caramel Dream...both very good).
Service was excellent, friendly & prompt. Highly recommend a visit (although bring your cheque book). Enjoy!
NOTE: There is valet parking which is helpful as this area can be very difficult to find a spot.
Amazing food. Each dish was super tasty. We had the Lamb, seabass, lobster sushi, cauliflower & gyoza. All very delicious. The cocktails were also awesome. Will come back again to try the other dishes. Also, the dream caramel for dessert is so good.

Service was very good. We ordered 4 main dishes: 1 was excellent, 1 was good, & 2 were fair. This was not acceptable for the prices charged. The tap water was terrible-tasting; you could afford a tap water filter at your price level. We both felt that your prices, without exception, were outrageous. We will not return!
A fantastic experience at this cozy restaurant. Delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, nice wine list & good dessert. The wait staff was very hospitable. I want to come back here again. I would recommend this restaurant for business or pleasure. It checks all the boxes for me.
Excellent sashimi. Professional & pleasant service. Great atmosphere. Amazing presentation & dishes. Unfortunately, only accessible to the very few due to the price. Everyone should be able to experience such greatness.
Such lovely service & the food was excellent. Very lively atmosphere, the crowd may not be for everyone as it's a loud restaurant, but for us it was great. I have dairy & gluten allergies, the staff were attentive & made sure I had options by tinkering with some of the dishes on the menu. So if you do have a dietary issue then you will be fine. Also the vegetarian options were great, 5 stars.

This was only my 2nd time at Jatoba. My first time was quite a few years ago, but I remember the food being exceptional. I am happy to see that this has not changed! I went on a Friday with 3 girlfriends. We each had one of the cocktails which were refreshing, pretty & delicious. We ordered an assortment of food to share including the Gyosa, Hamachi & salmon maki, salmon nigiri, crispy rice cake, beed tataki, black cod & king oyster mushrooms. Everything was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant & coming as a group is great because you really get to taste a variety of things. Ambience is also lovely (the back terrasse is beautiful) & the waitress was professional & helpful in describing the dishes.
The food was amazing as always! However, the food took way too long. We waited about 20-25 minutes in between each service & we had 3 services which was too long. We ordered about 9-10 dishes & from the time the first dish came to the last one, it was over an hour & a half & since we were only 2 people, it was too long.
I'm a regular & it usually doesn't take that long for the service so it was a little disappointing, especially since it was the person I was with first time at Jatoba.
With rather small portions & dishes that are absolutely accessible for far more reasonable prices, this restaurant would need to offer an outstanding experience to meet the expectations that they set. Unfortunately, the service was barely adequate & far slower than even a very leisurely meal. We did not get to order dessert until 2 hours into our meal & it took another 15 minutes just to get the check. The food presentations are lovely. The dishes were slightly above average, except for the tuna maki that got praises, but the crab rolls were not enjoyed by anyone at the table.
