Reviews describe JUN JUN as a bold, modern take on Filipino cuisine that blends traditional flavors with fine dining polish, delivering a tasting menu praised for inventive combinations, precise execution, and thoughtful pairings. Dishes such as duck adobo, octopus kare kare, short ribs, palabok, and miso cabbage are highlighted for their balanced, punchy flavors and striking presentations, while some vegetarian options are noted as tasty and satisfying. The ambience is repeatedly described as intimate and energetic, with a lively playlist and a hospitality team that is friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable, offering clear explanations of each course and tailoring to dietary needs. The service and atmosphere are frequently cited as the highlight, making guests feel welcomed and at home, and many say the experience warrants a return to sample more of the menu. Occasional drawbacks include dishes that can be small for the price, occasional timing issues during dinner service, and a rare instance of a rushed dessert course during a special event, but overall JUN JUN is seen as a standout that elevates Filipino cuisine with creative technique and vibrant energy.
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 ☺?
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
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.
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!
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

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 !
