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.
Belle soirée entre ami(e)s hier au Pubjelly. Ambiance festive, staff attentionnés avec une mention spéciale pour Loïc. Nous avons laissé le controle des choix à Loïc avec un budget comme guide & tout était parfait, bien exécuté & orchestré. Bref, bonne bouffe, bon vin, bonne ambiance. On y va sans hésiter!

I really enjoyed this place. We just stumbled in it & really enjoyed it. The service was good, there were moments where it was a bit slow to check in drinks but it was overall good. The food was very good. We did a tasting menu & I really enjoyed every dish. They also have a good vegetarian option. Honestly me only issue with this place is the price of a drink. A cocktail is $21 & it was not good. It was really not to our liking, which could be on me... Can't love everything new that I try, but I do believe a mango margarita should have at least some sweetness. Not being to my liking aside, $21 for a small cocktail is ridiculous. I would probably go back, but I'd avoid cocktails.
Had been hyped up on this place for a while, so decided to try it on a weeknight. Rather crowded for a random Wednesday. Had a dinner DJ, as places do, but pleasant tunes & was an appropriate volume. Service was okay. Had to wait 10-15 minutes just to order drinks & another 10-15 to get them. I tend not to rate on service unless it's egregiously bad, & overall was fine here, but was a bit slow for a place marketing itself on quality. Food, on the other hand, was overall not impressive. Split a few apps, one of which had some sort of chickpea cake which, to their credit, was one of the best things I've eaten in a while. Partner had a meat dish as a main & I tried the pizza. Some of the flavor combos were interesting (cauliflower on pizza?), but the techniques & the refinement weren't there for a place of this price range. It tasted like if a dive-y pub tried to serve tasting plates...guess that explains the "pub" in the name? Overall, I can imagine it being okay for a mid-day vin & snack if you're a hardworking businessman in the area, but don't go out of your way.
Our hostess, Marie-Suzann, & the chef took us on a culinary adventure. We had the tasting menu. After asking us about our dietary restrictions & likes & dislikes, we let them surprise us. The food was fresh, flavourful & masterfully prepared. The ambiance was great. Thank you for a memorable dinner.
Came here to celebrate my engagement with best friends & had an absolute blast. Service was INCREDIBLE. We did a tasting menu for 80$ each with wine on top & got to try a dozen of their dishes which were all fabulous. We got celebratory shots for the engagement too! So happy we came here. Can't emphasize enough how great the service was.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delectable! Les huîtres, le choufleur tempura & la burrata... Miam Le service était 💯 (jeudi, 22 août en soirée, gentil jeune homme à lunettes)!!! Faut y aller!!!
From the moment our group sat down, we immediately noticed the excellent quality of hospitality from our server. She was super knowledgeable & attentive. Every dish she suggested was wonderful. Highly recommend!
