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.
Lovely experience. Maria-Suzanne was just the best waitress. Anyone who can keep up with our sarcasm & mean jokes, deserves all the stars possible! The food was also amazing. I still don't know why they cook the potatoes for 15 hours... but they were amazing, so it will remain their little secret.

Je recommande fortement cet endroit. J'y ait été avec deux amies après un après-midi au bota-bota. Super service de notre serveuse Camille qui a été très avenante tout au long de notre soirée. Ambiance & musique impeccable & que dire de la nourriture. Un gros 5 sur 5. Un endroit à découvrir!
Nous avons fait notre diner d'équipe au Pubjelly & avons eu une superbe expérience ! Les plats étaient délieux & raffinés, notre serveur nous a recommandé des plats à partager en fonction de notre budget. Cela faisait longtemps que nous n'avions pas eu une si bonne expérience. Je recommande !
Nous avons eu la chance de célébrer notre party de Noël au Pubjelly, le service, l'ambiance & le décor étaient vraiment super! Merci à toutes l'équipe !
Top service, nourriture XXXXL. Merci au chef Mathieu. Marie Suzane Une serveuse gentille serviable & souriante. Allez y sans hésiter. Qualité prix plus que raisonnable. Merci à toute l'équipe pour votre accueil chaleureux 😍
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.

We very much enjoyed our second destination meal in Montréal at Pubjelly. As it was our last night, we splurged to share a bottle of wine & enjoyed our shared dinner of PEI Oysters, Quebec Snow Crabs, Cauliflower Tempura & Shrimp Focaccia. They call the latter pizza & it was probably our least favorite dish. Service was great as was the vibe. It did seem expensive, but we were still adapting to big city prices!
I had an amazing dining experience at Pubjelly. The staff, especially our waiter, was exceptional. The service was prompt & attentive. The food was delicious, but what truly set this place apart was the wonderful vibe & the staff's dedication to ensuring a memorable dining experience. I can't wait to return!
What a great vibe! Loved everything about it! The service, the food & the drinks. Our waiter was phenomenal, he was able to suggest things on the menu according to our taste, he was on point! We had a variety choice of oysters, soooo good & so fresh! We pretty much ordered a bunch of things on the menu & everything was delicious! I would definitely come back!!

Super belle équipe, personnel très sympathique, on était nombreux donc ils nous ont suggéré d’essayer tous les tapas , tout était bon surtout les pizzas
This is definitely one of the best restaurants in the old port with amazing food & great prices. I love how they change up their menu while still keeping some popular favourites. It makes me go back to it. Must try!
