Stopped here for lunch and got the salmon tartare and clam chowder. The tartare was a decent size and fresh, with a nice pasta salad and thick fries. The chowder was thick and creamy. Both were a bit pricey for the portion size, but tasty and fresh so you won't regret it. Restaurant or market, this place definitely does seafood justice.

When I stayed in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, I heard amazing reviews from the locals about this…read morerestaurant. I was not disappointed! The lobster rolls were to die for. They catch their lobster at Îles de la Madeleine and bring it over, some of the freshest you can find in Quebec! In addition, the cream of the ravioli was just the right amount!

Just to put it in context to you... my ancestors must have been from the tribe that lived closer to the ocean rather than near a farm lol! Fresh seafood for me is something I really enjoy! So driving by this location I really said to myself I needed to ask if they could ice pack some treats to take back. They had a sign on the window for fresh crab as it was in season. So I decided just to get two crab legs (it's lots of work) as a nice appetizer and some fresh Matane shrimp. The shrimp was $12.49 a pound but. I asked if fresh and the store owner said "oui Monsieur". So I got a small amount of both and was able to eat the crab when. I returned and the shrimp for the next two days with no issue. Both were very fresh and super tasty! Definitely I'd return when in RDL. If you want fresh Seafood in the Rivière Du Loup area it's a great option. They gave me a small bag of ice that worked well in my cooler to keep it fresh. Good stuff!

I can honestly say this was some of the best food we had on our entire trip in Quebec. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!

I've been lucky enough to come twice now while on vacation to jjacques and both times were exceptional, I also funnily enough sat at the exact same table both times. The service and staff and excellent - they give great recommendations, are funny and just make you feel taken care of. Shout-out to Nathan our waiter who spoke in EN for half the table and FR for the other half haha. He was so fun! The first time I came here was with my husband and we had a lovely dinner - the salmon blinis were our fave so I knew when I was here the second time, they were a must! The second time, there were six of us so we ordered quite a bit - we had the salmon blinis with caviar, a few oysters, the cod fritters, the prawn cocktail, the mushroom tortellini, flounder crudo, and whole fried fish - for dessert we did a cheese plate with some delicious local cheese. Everything was delicious - the whole fish is a must - the skin is so crispy and tasty - has a lot of Vietnamese flavours. The cocktails are also fabulous here - I had the Mexican Firing Squad and the Jungle Bird - both delicious and easy to drink! The room itself reminds me of a cool speakeasy bar/resto you'd find in the streets of New York City. It's hidden in an alleyway behind a very unassuming door. It's all part of the magic of the restaurant. If there is one place to go for dinner in QC, go here. We booked a reso in advance and I recommend you do this to secure your spot!

I love the ambiance inside from a small door to inside or a little speakeasy. It's a bit dark…read moreinside but I still enjoyed the overall vibe. The staff were all very great in explaining everything about the menu. For example, if you want the beef Tomahawk ($145), they told you to order it now since it'll be a 45 minute wait. We started off with 24 oysters ($72) as we love oysters. They had different type of oysters and we enjoyed the east coast oysters. My favorite dishes that we ordered were the seared scallops ($42) and the Butterfish Tataki ($22). We were a bit disappointed in the Crab Rotolo ($36) as we didn't enjoy the combination of the sauce and crab. The scallops were cooked very well and we loved the sauce for the Tataki. The Vitello Tonnato ($22) and Cod Fritters ($15) were decent but not as good in comparison to our favorites. We throughly enjoyed our dinner here as we had a good time trying all the food and mocktails they offered.

We have to somehow get permission to order take out? While others already ordered take out before me. Kind of a mystery for me. The restaurant looks good and with a good look for the Saint Lawrence river and the ferry dock. If you choose to eat outside, it will be a pleasure to eat at the picnic tables. The food that I ordered was the Lobster roll. It was not using the roll bun, but more like a wrap. The combination of the ingredients and the freshness was well balanced. We were very impressed by the lobster roll, and gladded that it was not using the traditional roll bun. It was not too salty nor soggy for the roll. However, the fries were horrible, soggy fries and the packeted ketchup turned watery as well. Nor the less, the lobster roll is good, especially for the location.
