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.
Fantastic ambiance for a cocktail. DJ was killer on a Friday night. Perfect lowkey spot for an intimate outing or cool kickback with quality folks. Type of spot you can have a cool conversation with a young lady you just met organically.
Jiao dim sum bar is one of the greatest bar I've ever visited in Montreal ! The vibe, the service & also the location is one of the most unique places I've ever went. Would 100% go there again 🫡

Heads down the best resto bar in Montreal. Atmosphere is unmatched & the decor is absolutely beautiful. I wasn't expecting much regarding the service, but was pleasantly surprised! The staff is super welcoming & warm, very friendly, yet attentive & very efficient. The food is, quite simply, extraordinary. Their new wagyu dumplings are a must try! Every dish i ordered was amazing, blending the rich flavors of Asia with a contemporary twists that surprise & delight. Even as the music start to get louder, the quality of the food remains unforgettable. The bar is no less impressive, heads down best cocktails i've had in Montreal. Overall unmatched ambiance, best DJ with nice lighting & great ventilation. Place is spotlessly clean & impeccably maintained. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the experience justifies every dollar. 10/10 recommend my favorite place in Montreal by far!
Jiao est genial En tout point. La nourriture est vraiment bonne je recommande surtout leurs boeuf brocolis & leurs dumplings, ils sont absolument succulent! Ieurs serveurs & serveuse sont tous super gentil & attentionnées. Ils ont aussi une vaste variété de cocktail super bon, bref je recommande absolument!
Quand on parle de vivre l'expérience du Night Life du Vieux Port de MTL, c'est d'une soirée au Jiao qu'on devrait parler. Wow 😲. Pat & son équipe sont là pour une seule chose & c'est vous en mettre plein la vue. Bouffe, Beats & Drinks. Merci ✌️
6 of us sat at the curved bar, right at the entrance for a birthday! Exceptional service from Daniel the bartender, he was attentive & sincere during our entire experience (bonus: he waived the cost of rice & dessert for the birthday guest)! Huge thanks to his hospitality & coordinating the special presentation of the dessert! We were surprised with how much we liked the food - especially the duck tacos presented on cucumber bases (clever), & the chow fun beef noodles were delicious! Excellent marg, & front of house staff were great with refreshing plates & waters given it was a full house. The DJ's set was incredible Saturday night, R&B throwbacks & hiphop, couldn't help but dance in our seats. Really great experience, happy to return again!
This is my first, & possibly only google review, but I LOVE this place. I occasionally come to Montreal, & this is my must go to. Atmosphere is great, food is amazing, & staff is delightful. Cannot recommend enough.
Great food! We ordered way too much after looking at too many things that looked good on the menu! Everything we got was really tasty. I had a craving for fried rice which is what got us there & I was very satisfied when we left. The manager got us in without a reso & the support staff were killing it all night!
