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.

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.
In 2024, I had my first dinner at Pubjelly & tried their mtl a table menu. I enjoyed it a lot. Don't know why it took me so long to go back but glad I suggested to meet my girlfriends here tonight, because food was great! Cauliflower & scallops were my favorite 🩵
It was a great experience. The food was great & the service deserves more than 5 stars. We would like to thank all staff & especially Jonathan for making us feel comfortable & welcome.
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 place in the Old Port, with delicious food & a lively atmosphere.
Food: we ordered 4 sharable dishes, each of them were well seasoned & flavors were Bomb. The Burrata was our favorite. Seafood was fresh desserts were scrumptuous.
The Dragon Kiss cocktail & the Brassin Bio beers were also top notch.
Service: Our server was super attentive & efficient. Food was served quickly & water was already refilled. Excellent.
Atmosphere: The terasse was beautiful, on a warm day. Lively place, need reservations.
The food was excellent, & the service was top notch. This was the best food we had in Montreal/Quebec. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an amazing meal.
