Reviews describe Le Jellyfish Crudo+Charbon as a stylish Old Montreal spot where the atmosphere, attentive service, and inventive sharing plates contribute to memorable evenings, with seafood and a varied menu frequently praised. Diners note standout dishes such as octopus, tuna crudo, avocado carpaccio, burrata and rotelle with oxtail and bone marrow, along with a strong wine and cocktail program, though some visits point to small portions for the price and occasional menu gaps or dishes not meeting expectations. The setting is described as romantic and elegant, sometimes a bit dark or loud, yet many mention a consistently high level of hospitality and well-paced courses that make it feel special for celebrations. While concerns about price and value recur in some reviews, the overall sentiment remains that the restaurant delivers a exceptional dining experience with remarkable staff and a memorable atmosphere.
Food, service & ambiance exceptional. Their food is out of this world with flavours that go above & beyond. Special thanks to Dana for her amazing service, she was so catering, friendly & recommended the best dishes. Love this place.
Highly recommend this restaurant. Superb experience! My date & I were treated like superstars. This is the place where you don't hold back from spending.

Went jellyfish for a birthday dinner & it was excellent. The reason it was Echlin is because of the the waitress we had called Emma she was wonderful, thoughtful & caring with that strongly. Recommend.
We were visiting from out of the province. Highly recommend. Our lovely server Vanora took great care of us. The restaurant has a nice ambience at night, however the food was the highlight. We had oysters, burrata, steak tartare & their famous beef broth pasta - absolutely recommend. High quality food, drinks & service. Must check this one out if you're in Montreal.
The food had very interesting texture. It was delicious. The atmosphere & service were lovely. A little too dark for my personal liking but the ambience was there. We went for my birthday & they treated me so special. Will highly recommend!
Nous aimons beaucoup ce restaurant mais sommes passés uniquement pour un cocktail cette fois-ci en fin d'après-midi.
Nous souhaitons adresser une mention spéciale à notre barman Jean qui nous a fourni un excellent service & de merveilleuses recommandations de cocktails. Parce que nous sommes des amateurs de la liqueur Chartreuse, Jean nous a fait découvrir de nouvelles recettes personnelles qui étaient simplement délicieuses! Il a pris de son précieux temps pour discuter mixologie, ce que nous avons beaucoup apprécié. Mention spéciale à la serveuse qui travaillait avec Jean derrière le bar, Sara-Ève.
La prochaine fois ça sera pour un bon souper!
Merci!
Everything was excellent!
The dishes were delicious - I really enjoyed my meal. The service was outstanding; make sure to be welcomed by Dana, she's wonderful & very friendly!
I highly recommend this place.

Had a selection of grilled meats & appetizers. Everything was great. Atmosphere was good - restaurant is very'open air' with cocktails aplenty & old world portraits as decorations. Would recommend based on the experience. Was a corporate event so not as conscious on value aspect.
Had a reservation at the sister restaurant PubJelly for our visit to Montreal, but due to a private event they contacted us in advance to move reservation to Jellyfish, which we agreed to. Sooooooooo happy that we did; great wine selection, beautiful cocktails, local tasty beers started the evening on a great note. The staff was knowledgeable & friendly - the recommendation of the avocado carpaccio introduced me to one of my favourite all time dishes. HIGHLY recommend. The other appetizers were amazing as well & the rest of the meal also did not disappoint. All in all, Jellyfish delivered an amazingly memorable evening with family & friends. I look forward to going back next time we are in Montreal.
Appetizer: tuna, scallop, black cod, & avocado were excellent, crafty presentation tasted really good. The scallop was fine, the concept is better than the actual taste but still satisfactory Main course: steak & halibut was amazing, generous cut, flavourful & pretty presentation. Lamb was ok, but I wouldn't recommend Dessert: panna cota with bourbon sauce & orange was excellent, well balanced sweet, cream, & freshness, also very pretty. Chocolate & caramel tarte was ok, a bit too heavy Overall atmosphere was very pretty & spacious, great for dates with friend & family Service was excellent, fast & responsive, the addition of coat check was also adding the experience so much bette
Expérience culinaire complète. Service impeccable, suggestions de vins & accords parfaits, sous les bonnes recommandations de Jonathan le sommelier qui est un être tellement passionné. La nourriture est délicieuse. Tout est un Wow. L'essayer cest l'adopter. Surtout a redécouvrir encore & encore !

ÉDIT: Je suis obligée de rectifier mon avis suite à l'expérience de ce soir. L'endroit est toujours aussi somptueux & l'accueil & le service sont absolument irréprochables. Néanmoins, nous avons été consternées par chacune de nos assiettes. La présentation est agréable & travaillée mais les quantités sont devenues vraiment ridicules au vu du prix affiché sur la carte. Rien ne peut justifier qu'une assiette composée d'un demi avocat assaisonné & coupé en 5 soit facturée 25$ +tx. Idem pour le tuna crudo dont la part de thon représentait moitié moins qu'une tranche de saumon fumé déchiquetée & disséminée dans l'assiette pour la modique somme de 29$ +tx (pour ne citer que ces plats). Le rapport est proprement inacceptable, pour ne pas dire abusif ou insultant & cette expérience est terriblement dissuasive. Je ne reviendrai pas & ne pourrai décemment plus recommander cet endroit, avec regret. ORIGINAL: Excellente expérience à tout point de vue: l'offre sur la carte est appétissante & inhabituelle & tout était délicieux. Nous étions assise au comptoir du bar & notre serveur/barman était d'une délicatesse & d'un professionnalisme exceptionnels.
Was very underwhelming for the cost... the "lobster" pani puri tasted strongly like fake crab & plain mayonnaise, every dish we had lacked seasoning or salt, service was slow & all over the place, we had a reservation for 8:45 & weren't seated until 9pm after hovering around the coat check. Seafood tasted frozen not fresh. Won't be returning & don't recommend if you want good seafood.
Really great place. The food waa excellent. Highly recommend the tuna crudo & veal short ribs...french fries are great. Very friendly & attentive service. Great location in old Montreal. Looking forward to go back & try some other dishes.
I had a wonderful dining experience at Jellyfish last night! Our waitress was exceptional-she really paid attention to our needs. When my husband requested a nut-free meal, she made sure to order my dish without pistachios before it was cooked, ensuring everything was safe for me. Her thoughtful service truly made our evening special. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great food & attentive staff! Unfortunately I don't know her name .
What an incredible night! Truly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Jonathan was a fantastic host, & Delphine provided exceptional service throughout the evening. The sommelier, Anais, made spot-on recommendations that elevated our experience. We had an unforgettable time & highly recommend that you experience it for yourself!
