Jiao, is a dim sum restaurant-bar concept in Old Montreal. It will offer dumplings, bao (Chinese) buns and seafood dim sum in different ways. Beautiful large lanterns and a u-shaped central bar provide a great ambiance to eat or have a drink.
JIAO DIM SUM BAR comes across as a lively Montreal spot with a bar vibe, great music and a vibe that works for groups or a date night. The service is frequently praised for speed and friendliness, though a few reviews mention slower moments during busy times and occasional miscommunications. The food earns broad admiration for flavor and freshness, with many dishes described as tasty and enjoyable, while others note inconsistency and some items being overly salty or not meeting expectations, and some diners feel the menu tilts toward a Westernized style. The cocktail program is a standout for many guests, delivering well balanced and creative drinks that complement the lively setting. Ambiance, energy and overall experience are repeatedly highlighted as positives, while a minority of patrons express frustration with price, portion size or specific dishes. As a result, JIAO DIM SUM BAR remains a popular choice for a night out in Montreal, with strong praise for vibe and drinks but mixed opinions on food value and consistency.
I was there with a couple of friends & Mila's service was immaculate!!! She helped us with the drinks & the order. Would recommend her she's very sweet!!!
Le barman Marco R. a mis le feu à la soirée ! Cocktails bien dosés, service rapide & en plus super sympa. Merci pour cette belle énergie ! Jiao est vraiment la place où aller n'importe quel jour de la semaine!! Je recommande 🤗

Mila, Marco, Maelie & Alex are actually terrific bartenders. They greet u when you come in everytime! They make you feel welcome! They remember you when you come in & honestly, the food is fantastic & the music is always on point.
Food 10/10 & we got served by one of the best bartenders, Marco, & one of the best restaurants in Montreal. 100% recommend if you're looking for a good time, good food & good music
The kitchen at night ridiculous hire more cooks or do something we ordered 5 orders of chicken wings & it took 2 hours we had time to empty a whole bottle of vodka ... the staff is nice & friendly tho but still
This place always has great music on of my favourite Montreal Dj's Dj Yao always has the place bumping with tons of high energy. The food is mediocre a few things are ok but nothing that really stands out per say. You dont go there for the food though you go there for the ambiance & the barman Dan is such a sweetheart always making sure your drink is full & your taken care of. The only downside are prices the drinks are very expensive.
Amazing atmosphere & very lovely open stuff & managers. We enjoyed having our champagne & calamari in our first day of Persian new year! Highly recommended!
Le service était un peu lent mais a part ça c'était Top.
Le riz frit, trop bon!!!
Le cheesecake au matcha 🤤🤤🤤

Merci à l'équipe♥?
