Jatoba - (Near Montréal, QC)

5 /5 emmanu: The whole experience was absurdly fun and wonderful, very enjoyable staff members, food is just delightful and the cocktails are really special for the type of establishment they are running. The inside decor fits the theme perfectly and it feels like a whole atmosphere to eat in. Only “bad” point about my dining experience, the waitress never gave us the dessert card, another waiter came and offered it, seeing as the waitress assigned to my table was busy, but I personally don’t consider it a negative point, simply shows that they all work together in a team at Jatoba. Definitely go for the experience.

3 /5 Crabby Ermine: I had high expectations. I was disappointed from the moment I checked in for my dinner date. The hostess was unfriendly and unwelcoming- like showing up to purchase a pack of gun from an airport vendor. I sat at the bar waiting and ordered a drink which took a very long time to arrive. My friend showed and she ordered a drink and it was slow. The atmosphere is perfect. 5/5. Beautiful. Not to noisy. Intimate. We asked for recommendations from waiter for dinner and got maki, nigiri, nori and then dumplings and gyoza. Food was 3/5 as I’ve had way better sushi in Vancouver or Calgary at 1/2 the price. Anyhow it’s a nice spot. Average food and service and very expensive. I would not return or recommend.

4 /5 Blue Bottle-Cap: High quality ingredients, good culinary execution, ok service, beautiful location. We had an enjoyable dinner and tried a decent selection of menu items. The personal favorite: the lemongrass and coconut soup; and the gyoza. The service was not flawless, as we had to order our drinks twice, and we were served food but some silverware was missing. Pricewise: it’s on the very high end (overpriced, in my opinion). All in all, I’d come back

3 /5 Cosmin Z: Dining here was ultimately about the food, which was undeniably excellent (The bluefish tuna sushi is out of this world, we had to order it twice). Each dish was refined, well-executed, and arrived promptly, reflecting the level you expect from a high-end establishment. The bill for 2 people, 2 drinks each and a few plates of sushi came up to $380. That said, the overall experience didn’t feel particularly memorable. The service was polite but somewhat average, lacking the attentiveness or warmth that elevates a great meal into something truly special. A small detail that stood out: I ordered a cortado and was served an espresso with milk on the side, which missed the mark for a restaurant of this caliber. Would I return? Yes…maybe—for the food alone. As a person who traveled around the world and ate at quite a few expensive seafood places, including Singapore and Spain, I would rate Jatoba 6.9/10 overall

5 /5 Wally H: We celebrated my girlfriend’s 40th birthday last night and had an unforgettable supper at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the host greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel genuinely welcome, setting a relaxed and celebratory tone for the evening. Our waiter was attentive, courteous, and friendly throughout the meal, always checking in at just the right moments and acknowledging that it was a special occasion for us.What truly elevated the experience was when Chef Olivier personally came to our table to say hello and present a few of the dishes himself. This thoughtful gesture made us feel incredibly honored, and my girlfriend felt extra special, as if the whole team was celebrating with us. The combination of warm hospitality, professional service, and that personal touch from the chef turned a simple night out into a beautiful memory that we will cherish for a long time. We would wholeheartedly recommend this place for anyone looking to celebrate an important milestone or simply enjoy a memorable evening. A heartfelt thank you to Chef Olivier and the entire staff for making this celebration so memorable and for treating us with such care and kindness. Your attention to detail and genuine hospitality did not go unnoticed, and we are deeply grateful for the experience you created for us.
