Reviews describe Pubjelly as a vibrant, stylish venue with a lively atmosphere and a strong drinks program, where the food is imaginative and frequently well received and the service is described as attentive and well coordinated, creating a welcoming, high energy experience. Positive notes include standout seafood dishes and beef tartare, along with creative starters and a buzzy lounge feel that suits social dining or a romantic evening; however some visits mention cold or slower service, occasional delays, higher prices, and occasional inconsistencies such as overcooked potatoes or a less memorable pizza. Overall the consensus is a memorable, enjoyable dining scene with great cocktails and a convivial vibe, best enjoyed when the pace aligns with expectations.
Love the new menu!! Decor is immaculate, service amazing as always (special thanks to Loic for the hospitality!), & the food was 10/10. Really recommend the Mafaldine pasta, the whipped ricotta focaccia, & the mozzarella stick. Coming back just for that for sure!
Absolutely loved my experience at this new restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming & beautifully designed. The food was fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with attention to detail. Every dish we tried was delicious, & the presentation was amazing too.
The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, & made us feel genuinely taken care of throughout the evening. You can really tell there's passion behind this place. Definitely one of the best new spots I've tried recently - can't wait to come back & recommend it to everyone. Special thanks to the cheffe Jamie Lee & Charles for the warm welcome

Expérience vraiment déplorable au Jellybar à Montréal.
700 $ pour 4 personnes : des plats à partager qui se résument à quelques bouchées, une stratégie parfaite pour pousser les clients à recommander sans cesse - bouteille d'eau, bouteille de vin, plat supplémentaire… Une pression commerciale permanente & oppressante.
Pour couronner le tout, la musique assourdissante & l'obscurité totale créent une ambiance conçue pour étourdir, voire anesthésier les clients plutôt que leur offrir un bon moment.
& le service… La serveuse a trouvé utile de concentrer toute son attention sur le mari de mon amie, avec une attitude aguicheuse & franchement ridicule. Une technique de vente mal déguisée, qui rend l'expérience encore plus inconfortable & déplacée.
Au final : on paie très cher pour manger presque rien, subir une ambiance pénible & un service orienté uniquement vers la consommation forcée.
Nous ne reviendrons pas, & nous le déconseillons vivement.
Sister restaurant to Jellyfish which is much cozier & smaller. We've been multiple times & always enjoyed the food & vibe of this place. Meat & fish are always great. The cocktails are delicious. It does get loud on busy nights but not nearly as bad as next door. Highly recommend for a great meal with some excellent service.
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.

Excellent restaurant. Je recommande fortement le choux fleurs, les pâtes aux campignons & pois vert, ainsi que le plateau de poissons fumés avec légumes marinés.
Really nice experience there. The waitress recommended us a few dishes & explained to us how it usually goes at Pubjelly & she had a nice attitude. We got around 6 plates & were pretty much full by the end. The drink looked small for the price but it packed quite some punch which is good for the price (40$~ for the cocktail pitcher) The food was superb. Loved the fried cauliflower, a recommendation that the waitress gave us. The pizza at the end was good & is definitely enough to fill one person alone even with half of it. Overall, i recommend this place & would definitely go again.
Marie-Suzanne was our waiter, very charismatic, helpful, professional. It was a first time visit at pubjelly, absolutely LOVED the food, I recommend the steak, so good. I'll definitely come back to try the rest of the menu!
