Jatoba est largement reconnu comme l'une des destinations culinaires incontournables de Montréal, célèbre pour sa cuisine fusion japonaise exquise et sa qualité constante. Les convives font souvent l'éloge du menu inventif, soulignant des plats remarquables comme la morue noire, les sashimis frais, les dumplings au wagyu et des desserts décadents. Le restaurant propose une atmosphère sophistiquée et haut de gamme, complétée par un intérieur luxuriant et magnifique qui offre un cadre à la fois intime et dynamique pour toutes les occasions. Bien que l'expérience soit positionnée dans une gamme de prix supérieure, la plupart des clients estiment que le service exceptionnel, le souci du détail et la maîtrise culinaire globale justifient largement l'investissement pour une expérience gastronomique mémorable.
Honestly Jatoba never really fails! They do an excellent job. Fish is fresh & well presented. Service is fast & friendly. It's definitely not cheap! The decor is also nice & drinks are delicious . Bluefin tuna is very good there .
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!
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.
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!
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!
One of our absolute favorite restaurants. The food is incredible & beautifully presented. The service is outstanding, staff are very knowledgeable, attentive, & our drinks refilled quickly. We've been coming here for years, & I can't wait to go back every time.
Restaurant was empty with plenty of online appointments & we were denied seating because we have a 17 year old. He doesn't drink & they denied a party of 8. Business must be good.
I'd like to recognize both the positive & negative aspects of the service during our visit.
Service Rating:
⭐ 5/5 for the support staff (bussers, runners, & bar staff) - Everyone else on the team was attentive, friendly, efficient & really top-notch service worthy of the highest end restaurant.
⭐ 2/5 for the waiter who took our order - Unfortunately, our overall experience was seriously impacted by two concerning incidents. The 1st is not drama, the second in quite unnerving.
1. Drink Order Mishandled
One of our guests ordered a regular (non-diet) Coke. When the drink arrived, the server delivering it (holding the printed bar order in hand) stated it was a Diet Coke. The waiter who originally took our order quickly & firmly insisted it was not. However, a simple taste test confirmed it was Diet Coke.
Though the drink was eventually replaced, the way the situation was handled was troubling. The waiter's defensive attitude, dismissiveness, & his unwillingness to listen came across as unprofessional. It felt more like,'just take what you're given,' rather than an effort to ensure a good customer experience.
2. Allergy Risk - Serious Oversight
We ordered a multi-course tasting menu (we did not choose, we let our waiter decide on the menu) & clearly communicated one important dietary restriction: an allergy to shellfish. Despite this, the final course included two plates containing shellfish (crab & shrimps). Thankfully, we identified this (again thanks to the support staff) before anyone with the allergy took a bite - but that's not always possible, especially with items like dumplings where the filling isn't obvious.
When we raised the issue, the same waiter casually responded,'Oh yes, I know - but I really wanted the rest of the table to try these out.' This is not just a lapse in judgment - it's a dangerous & completely unacceptable approach to food allergies. It demonstrates a lack of seriousness, care, & professionalism.
Mistakes can happen, but the lack of accountability & the dismissive attitude from the waiter made both situations feel much worse. Service staff are not just responsible for delivering food; they are trusted to listen, respect guest needs, & ensure a safe & welcoming environment. In this case, that trust was broken.
I hope the management sees this as constructive feedback & takes appropriate action - particularly with regard to allergy protocol training & service standards.
We enjoyed our meal so much, the bartender made us fantastic drinks. Staff was attentive. Food came out with great timing & each bite better than the next
