Every plate is so unique & comforting. I could eat there again & again. The duck adobo is spectacular & the service impeccable. You're missing out if you don't try it. (The pandesal with ube butter is addictive)View more
This place is incredible! The service is top notch & so is the food. We love that there are always new things on the menu to keep things interesting! The cabbage is to die for & so is the short rib! Great cocktails as well! We keep coming back for a reason!View more
I've postponed writing this review because I've never experienced such appalling restaurant service before.
My sister & I chose this establishment to celebrate New Year's Eve with their advertised 6-course + dessert tasting menu. We arrived punctually for our reservation near opening time, & were excited by the positive reviews we'd heard-which only amplified our ultimate disappointment.
The ambiance was admittedly pleasant. The place had dim lighting & tasteful decorations, which created an intimate atmosphere perfect for a special occasion.
Our initial service was promising. Our waiter was exceptional & was the true highlight of our evening. He graciously accommodated our request for non-alcoholic versions of their cocktails & answered our questions about the menu diligently. Both he & who appeared to be the manager would present each course with detailed descriptions, which we appreciated as newcomers to Filipino cuisine.
However, the pacing was problematic. Most of the time, we found ourselves with uncomfortably long waits between courses. The evening took a shocking turn as we awaited our sixth course. The manager abruptly asked us to pay & leave because'other people were waiting.' This was bewildering since we had arrived early for our reservation & our pre-paid 6-course meal was incomplete as we hadn't received our final course & dessert.
After paying, we remained seated expecting our remaining food. Minutes later, the manager came back & asked us to free our table. Stunned & already frustrated by the excessive waiting times, we left without explaining that our meal was unfinished. Looking back at our bill, at least we were not charged for the full 6 course + dessert meal.
I would give one star, but I am giving an extra star solely because the service provided by our waiter was truly exceptional.
What should have been a special celebration became a deeply disappointing experience & a sour start to the New Year. I cannot recommend a restaurant that treats reserved guests as so, regardless of how good their food might be.View more
Tapas style sharing plates with plenty of flavor, good portions, refreshing tastes & a service to match the quality of the cuisine. Would absolutely recommend for a night out, prices are very fair considering the food menu! Menu changes seasonally, but we got the scallops crudo (10/10), the miso cabbage (10/10), the black garlic pasta (10/10), the shrimp pasta (10/10), & the pork belly bao buns (10/10). Also rly enjoyed the spicy margarita as a drink! Thank you JunJun 💫View more
One of the best restaurant experiences Montreal has to offer for sure!!! Such great menu options & they really think outside the box by not just limiting themselves to traditional Philipino dishes!! What a great move! Thanks to Ray Ray for the awesome service & excellent food!! Definitely going back!!View more
Cuisine très fine & goûteuse. Le service est impeccable.View more
I had the pleasure of dining at their sister restaurant, Junior, & have been wanting to try Junjun for some time now. I must say, the experience was incredible & truly unforgettable! Junjun exceeded all my expectations. The service was exceptional, with friendly & attentive staff. Our waitress, Margarita, was fantastic, & Manager Ray was a wonderful host, bringing both humor & warmth to the evening. He enriched our experience by sharing the story behind Junjun & its journey, adding a unique & personal touch to our visit. As a Filipino growing up in a Filipino household & enjoying traditional Filipino dishes daily, I was truly amazed by how this restaurant has elevated & modernized the cuisine. Each dish on the tasting menu showcased unique & distinct flavors, & every plate was a visual masterpiece. I'm already eagerly anticipating my next visit, especially for the unforgettable Octopus Kare Kare-it's a dish that has left a lasting impression. Maraming Salamat! Proud Filipino I highly recommend Junjun & will definitely be returning for another remarkable experience!View more
We had an epic dinner at Junjun that blew us away! Expectations were sky-high, & Junjun absolutely nailed it. The place was buzzing, but despite booking bar seats, we got hooked up with a table-major props for that. Ray, the manager, was a total rockstar, making sure everything was on point with his phenomenal service. Super friendly, always smiling, & he gave us remarkable menu & drink tips. Let's talk food-Scallops Crudo? Super tasty. That Cabbage? Spicy & packed with flavor! The Duck Adobo was a flavor bomb, & the Longanisa? Straight-up amazing. But the showstopper? The Octopus Kare-Kare. This dish is next-level, hands down the best octopus I've ever had. The vibes were on fire with great music, & the rest of the crew was just as awesome-friendly, attentive, & keeping the energy high. Junjun, you nailed it. Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend it!!View more

We came here for my partner's 30th birthday & the staff were incredible, fun, passionate, & knowledgeable. They made the dinner so special. We had the tasting menu & all of the dishes were beautifully balanced. One of my favourite places in Montréal. We'll be back to try the rest of the menu.View more

Had an incredible experience here! I've been to Junior (Junjun's sister restaurant) many times & was always impressed, so it was no surprise that Junjun was equally amazing. The food is refined, delicious, & clearly crafted with thoughtful flavors. The Filipino twist on the cocktails is so original as well, i loved them. The service was warm & attentive-Rey & his team took such great care of us for my friend's birthday. This spot is absolutely a must-visit in Montreal's food scene!View more
Absolute highlight of our trip to Montreal. Fantastic creative modern Filipino cuisine. We were a group & so sampled most of the dishes, though, as usual, dove in before taking pictures - at least on the first several. Absolutely exquisite well thought through & executed dishes. You can't go wrong. Fantastic to hear Rey talk about the history of the restaurant & the menu & hear his passion about Filipino food tradition & his idea about taking the tradition to the next level. It is a tiny bit off the beaten path but so so worth it. Made our evening!! Thank you!View more
I'm writing this review a few months later, but only because I still think about it to this day!! We ate at this restaurant to celebrate an anniversary over the summer, & the food & presentation was gorgeous. I didn't even think Filipino food could get any better, but Junjun absolutely blew our minds. They were also accommodating to my allergies & were able to modify some of the plates we ordered - which nonetheless still tasted amazing. The chef & one of the owners came to our table at the end to greet us & it also left a great impression on us. Everything was worth it. The best service & food ever!!View more
This place needs to get more love. It's truly an amazing culinary experience with passionate staff. Unfortunately when my wife & I went, we were one of only two tables on a Friday night. I want this place to succeed. It's unique & delicious.View more
