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 ☺?
Absolutely incredible meal! We had the tasting menu & each dish was so delicious. I highly highly recommend this restaurant for one of the tastiest meals you can get in Montreal🤩 great service as well
Une cuisine des philippines modernisée & créative. Les cocktails sont savoureux & tous les plats sont bien équilibrés. Mention spéciale aux sauces de chaque plat ! Coup de coeur pour le Chou Nilaga Sa Micho & les pâtes Bisque Palabok. Je vous recommande la place

Excellent food, inspiration of authentic flavour from Philippians. The drinks are well balanced & original !
A must !
The drinks are very well executed. Func mix of sweet & savory.
The food, well the food keeps true to it's Filipino origins. The heat is there, but it's controlled. Ot adds to the dishes.
Octopus with peanut butter was very nice. The humble cabbage gets a major upgrade. As the lest expensive item on the menu when we visited, it packed a real punch.
Will be back!
Phenomenal food & ambience!! I am still dreaming about the palabok & duck adobo. One of my new favourite Filipino restaurants, I can't wait to eat here again next time I'm in Montreal!
Very friendly staff & great atmosphere. Very accommodating to dietary restrictions
The tasting menu was incredible, my dad & I absolutely adored the food, every dish was a hit, they were perfectly balanced & flavourful. The owner was so friendly & kind as well as the rest of the staff. The vibes were immaculate as well great music, nice decor & great people. We had an amazing evening there & I cannot recommend it enough. Worth every penny.
Really tasty food & excellent service & client contact often from the owners themselves… we felt taken care of from start to finish. We chose to go with the tasting menu, I found the food very original & tasty… but portions very small for the price. Had a great experience nevertheless
Everyone in our party of 6 LOVED their meal & the service from Rey was TOP!
If you think you've had great Filipino food, wait till you try this spot in the heart of downtown Montreal. Next level Filipino food. The squid kare kare & the ensaymada was just out of this world. Worth every penny & the owner was so nice to share about the origin & story of the restaurant.
Superbe restaurant! Une nourriture avec goûts francs & relevés, un service convivial & personnel. Chaque service était accompagné d'une explication derrière l'inspiration du plat. Les cocktails étaient très bons. À visiter !
So delicious! Friendly & knowledgeable staff. Great atmosphere. Definitely going back soon. ❤?
As someone who's been to this restaurant over 5+ times, I can tell you each experience has been better than the other. The kindest & most welcoming staff I've experienced hands down. The owner, Rey, makes sure that every client is tended to & satisfied with their overall experience. Initially, I had never considered Filipino cuisine since there aren't too many spots in Montreal. The aesthetic of the restaurant is what initially reeled me in, but the staff, service & food is what got me to come back time after time. Heads up for those who have never tried Filipino cuisine, most dishes are on the sweeter side & mildly spicy! (If you don't like the spice, tell them beforehand so they can modify some of their sauces for you, they're super accommodating!). If it's your first time, I highly recommend their tasting menu to be able to discover the different items on the menu! If not, the octopus (pugita kare kare), shrimp bisque & smoked mackarel (kinilaw) have been my go to-s! The drinks are always tasty & aesthetically pleasing. Each dish is always thoroughly explained & they all have their own unique backstory. One thing I really appreciate, they change the cutlery & plates after every service! You can tell that they really care about their customers. They always keep an open mind & want feedback from their clients as they change their menu items from time to time as the season changes! I 100% recommend JunJun & I will keep coming back! Thank you guys for such a great time!! :)
