Overall, reviews show Pub St-Paul as a casual, multi level spot with a rustic vibe and strong views of the Old Port, making it a solid option for groups and after work hangs. Service is praised for energy and friendliness, with standout bartenders and attentive staff, but some experiences note slower or inconsistent service and questions around tipping. The menu generally satisfies, offering solid burgers and fish and chips, while a few dishes arrive cold or feel overpriced. The atmosphere, location, and view are repeatedly highlighted as positives, supporting repeat visits and recommendations despite occasional missteps.
Most horrible fish chips I've ever had. Fish was dry & swimming in oil. You can literally see oil dripping out as you cut the fish. Asked not to over fry the next round of fish because the batter is dark brown overcooked but still comes back looking overcooked.

J'adore venir au Pub Saint Paul pour l'ambiance, mais surtout pour l'excellent service de Sara. C'est toujours un plaisir de se faire accueillir avec un énorme sourire par quelqu'un qui sait exactement ce que tu vas lui commander & qui te fait sentir aussi à l'aise & en sécurité 💜
PS : merci de ne pas avoir laissé mon amie prendre son auto alcoolisée.
Un endroit digne d'un pub, le poll les flechettes, la musique adaptée à la clientèle. La carte restaurant est vraiment variée & au goût de tout le monde (gluten, vege…)Venez y en famille entre amis, tout le monde devrait trouver son plaisi
Had a great experience with the food - it was decently cheap relative to the other restaurants in our area. One thing that I'm really concerned though was the lack of transparency with tips.
Our waiter told us as we paid the bill that tipping was mandatory. I completely understand the importance of tips, I've done front of house work in a restaurant myself, but there should be a sign or someone telling you AS YOU walk in that tipping is mandatory. We have that right as customers.
Repas ce jour pour 8 personnes, dont 4 enfants. Nous avons été servis par Margo! Elle a été adorable & arrangeante! Merci à elle. Endroit idéal pour les familles, mieux que dautres restau à touristes. Des assiettes tellement copieuses comme je n'ai jamais vu & bonnes. Alors merci!

Excellent endroit pour prendre une bière & manger entre amis, que ce soit en petit ou en grand groupe. L'établissement s'étend sur plusieurs étages, & certaines sections à l'arrière offrent une vue imprenable sur le Vieux-Port.
Had a pretty fine time with a nice view over the street. Only had one drink with my friend. When we paid my friend didn't tip, she only had a drink from a slushie machine & the waitress responded aggressively sarcastic saying'that's really nice thanks' & I literally only tipped out of fear of further confrontation, she did not deserve it.
