Reviews describe Pubjelly as a vibrant, high energy dining spot with a warm atmosphere and a focus on sharing plates and standout service. Diners frequently praise the food as excellent or phenomenal, with favorites including seafood options like lobster croquettes, grilled octopus, and beef tartare, along with crafted cocktails and strong wines. The service is repeatedly described as attentive, coordinated, and genuinely friendly, creating a welcoming environment even on busy nights or for groups and families. The vibe mixes energy with romance and an unpretentious, world class level of hospitality. Some notes mention occasional price concerns and variable value, occasional delays or long waits during peak times, and a few dishes that did not meet expectations such as overcooked potatoes or a less successful pizza, yet highlights and menu versatility keep guests returning. Locations described as lively and picturesque in the Old Port, with reservations recommended for the terrace on warm days. A recurring theme is the effort and teamwork of staff across the floor, kitchen, and bar, delivering a consistently positive experience and a reason to return for both new and repeat visits.

5.0

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting & upbeat. & everything after that was outstanding--the lobster & shrimp croquettes, & the grilled octopus, & the Pinot Grigio wine. Our server was friendly, connected, & accommodating. High-energy dining at its best!

4.0

The vibe is really nice & the drinks are really good. The food is less than average for the price, specifically the octopus which tasted like it was heated in the microwave

We had a nice evening at Pub Jelly overall. The food was mostly excellent-the beef tartare was absolutely delicious, & the octopus was also perfectly cooked & very tasty. Unfortunately, the potatoes were a bit of a letdown as they were overcooked, which surprised us since a friend had them before & remembered them being much better.

We also tried one of the pizzas, & sadly, it really missed the mark. The one with sour cream just didn't work for us flavor-wise-I wouldn't recommend it.

As for the service, while the staff was friendly & respectful, the experience felt a bit slow. We waited a long time before being able to order & before receiving our drinks, & we had to remind them about the octopus, which had been forgotten. It may have just been a busy night, but the delays stood out.

That said, the highlights on the menu made the visit worthwhile, & we'd consider coming back to try a few different things.

Food is absolutely amazing. The octopus, mortadella pizza & oysters were just 1 of a kind. Marie Suzanne's services was so pleasant & friendly, she made great food recommendations & made us feel right at home.

Thank you so much Loic & Riley. (Sorry if I spelled your names wrong). Our experience at pubjelly was top shelf! Very friendly staff, amazing ambience & wow, the food was unreal. Do yourself a favour & order whatever Riley is making & don't forget to have the octopus, it is the best I have ever had, & I have eaten a lot of octopus! All over the world, & nobody can beat this one. We'll be back.
