My family & I had had the tasting menu & it was great. We could tell the chefs cooked with passion & pride, & the service was more than exemplary.
Food-wise, the highlight was by far the short rib in our opinion: fall-off-the-bone tender, great flavor combinations, good variety of textures, appealing presentation. An absolute banger to wrap up the savory portion of the menu. That is not to say we didn't like the other courses-the mushroom pasta & the dessert were to die for!
Go support these folks who hail from the humble Filipino hood of CDN! Also, s/o to Oliver & Chef Lorenzo. Will come again!
Superbe expérience, unique & personnalisée! ✨? La magie s'opère autant en bouche par un menu raffiné que par la qualité du service du gérant Olivier! Que dire des cocktails, explosion de saveur original & équilibré. Ambiance chaleureuse, cosy & dynamique assurée.
Super découverte! La nourriture était excellente! Savoureuse! Très bien présentée! J'y reviendrai! & le gérant Olivier est super sympathique & nous a offert un service exceptionnel (vraiment!). Je recommande fortement à ceux qui aiment profiter de la nourriture savoureuse & de la belle ambiance pleine d'humour.
Oliver & Ella are our new best friends! They brought the flavor & the vibes to the table. Thanks for a great time!
Oliver, Ella, & Rey are the best! The food is amazing (get the octopus), great cocktails, but what puts the cherry on the top is the atmosphere, everyone is friendly & there's an amazing vibe over all!
It was my first time trying Filipino food, interesting to see cultures blend. Cudos to chef Lorenzo!!! The pasta was sooo good, as well as the short rib. Cocktails were interesting Ella! But the music!! oMg couldn't stop dancing the whole dinner.
& last but not least….Oliver! So much vibe ❤?
Great vibes & fun & attentive service from Oliver, Ella & Chef Lorenzo! Mushroom pasta was amazing, & the grilled octopus was delicious. Would come back for the pasta. Kudos!
A chilled vibe with a focused menu from Chef Lorenzo - loved the duck adobo! Brilliant service from Oliver & Ella, & a great playlist, would definitely recommend a visit!
Cool atmosphere with vibey music. Inventive dishes bringing Filipino traditions & flavours to a fine dining-esque presentation. Everything was rich & flavorful & service was charmingly vibrant. The beef short rib was rightly a signature dish - must have. Oliver & Ella were amazing, & kudos to chef Lorenzo for making us feel very welcomed.
What an experience! Oliver & Ella gave us the best service we had the best night would recommend to all!
The place is amazing! The atmosphere was top notch with great music as well! Olivier really knew how to make us comfortable as well as giving us a great & fast service! Chef Lorenzo made sure to give us quality food! Highly recommend!
Nous avons passé une superbe soirée au restaurant Junjun ! C'était notre première visite & nous avons été conquis, autant par la qualité des plats que par l'ambiance chaleureuse du lieu.
Un immense merci à Olivier, notre serveur, pour son professionnalisme, sa gentillesse & son attention tout au long du repas. Pour une première soirée en salle, il a été absolument exceptionnel, souriant, attentif & très drôle. Grâce à lui, l'expérience a été parfaite du début à la fin.
Nous reviendrons sans hésiter !
Exactly what we hoped for a date night out. Relaxed & hip atmosphere, amazing dishes (the octopus, lime prawn & short ribs are OUT OF THIS WORLD) & incredible friendly service. Thank you Rey, Marvin, Chef Lorenzo.. everyone made us feel like family. Definitely an authentic spot & what Montreal's food scene is all about.
We had such an incredible experience here! It's Filipino cuisine with a modern twist & the chef truly outdid himself. Every dish we tried (yes, we tried almost everything on the menu) was even better than the last. The flavors were bold & creative. The cocktails were just as impressive, perfectly crafted to match the food. Service was top notch the entire team was warm & attentive & our waitress was so sweet & made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a memorable dining experience!
Nous avions beaucoup aimé le Junior Filipino (hélas fermé depuis). Espérant trouver la même expérience sinon mieux, nous y sommes allés au Jun Jun. Nous avons eu la chance de croiser un des proprio, une personne vraiment passionnée voulant mettre en valeur la culture & la cuisine philippine, ça a été un vrai plaisir d'échanger avec lui. Comme on voulait goûter à un peu tout, on a pris le menu dégustation, 6 plats & le dessert inclus.
En toute honnêteté, tout était bon, magnifiquement préparé. Un plaisir pour les yeux avant d'être un plaisir pour les papilles. Chaque plat était savoureux, frais, on sentait toute la recherche derrière chaque plat pour magnifier les aliments. Saveurs subtiles & délicates à souhaits Cela dit, j'ai trouvé que certaines portions étaient un peu petite & si on regarde les photos, au milieu du repas, on a eu des gnocchis revisités, certes mais ça reste des gnocchis? Le début était magnifique, je m'attendais plus à ce qu'on continue sur cette lancée avant le dernier plat.
Mention spéciale pour les mocktails qui étaient excellents !
Petit irritant au moment de la note, c'est de voir que par défaut les tips étaient à 18 ou 20%. C'est dommage de forcer la main, je comprends très bien la difficulté de la restauration en ce moment mais le ressenti côté client est que''l'établissement profite de moi'' ça n'envoie pas un beau message (ce n'est pas spécifique à cet établissement, d'autres le font aussi). Je pense qu'il y a moyen de faire en sorte que les 2 parties ressortent gagnantes mais pas de cette manière.
Best place for a modern filipino food! Love the ambiance & the staff 😍 The food is delicious!
Went here for a friends bachelorette in April. The staff could not have created a better environment for us! From making accommodations for allergies to providing some free shots, we were well taken care of. Not to mention every dish we had was incredible. I would recommend this to any visitor or local!
There was 6 of us & we had the tasting menu. I have no words. Im still tasting everything in my head over & over again. Every single bite burst with so much flavour. It was the best orgasm in my mouth. Ray, one of the owners was so attentive & made every table welcome. He has the best personality. That's what Filipinos do. Make sure you walked away happy & full. He absolutely succeeded.
What they did with the dessert. The blend of different flavours into one piece of artwork on a plate. The BEST!!! Even when I was bursting out of my pants full of dinner, I shoved that dessert down. I couldn't leave it behind.
Im coming back to Montreal just for this restaurant because the weather wasn't anything to write home to.
Ray great job! Definitely coming back.
Brunch was amazing! It was my first time trying Junjun & it was definitely not the last time. Filipino cuisine is really underrated & they did an amazing job in combing the traditional flavors & dishes with a new/modern twist. We also talked to one of the owners & it was so interesting to hear about some dishes & story behind. Would definitely recommend & will come back to try their dinner ☺?
