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!
We went there for a girls' night, & it was such a great experience. Chef Jamie Lee is incredibly talented. The food was amazing. The staff at GIOIA DE was also very welcoming & attentive.

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
We ordered the Table D'hote. Pizza was cold, in the middle. Our order was incorrect & delayed. When we brought this to the attention of the manager, we were challenged on our version of our order. VERY costly, disappointing evening.
Nice ambiance, tasty food, amazing drinks & best service ever. Thank to our wonderfull barman & waitress Anthony & Maria! We ll be back for sure.

L'ambiance est incroyable ✨ Antony, le barman, fait des drinks incroyables, remplis d'amour ❤? & mon serveur Loïc avait une capacité à comprendre exactement ce que je recherchais. Merci pour l'expérience - à refaire 🙂🍸
I had ordered their steak tartare, fried cauliflower & a negroni. The steak tartare is a large portion, was super fresh & perfectly balanced. Unfortunately there is no crostini ots however I had eaten it with the fried cauliflower I'd ordered. The cauliflower itself lacked salt & seasoning, however, the green onion tapenade made up for it, wish there would be more. The honey was a good addition. Negroni was a negroni, can't complain. Service was quite cold I'll be honest, usually when I visit MTL it's always a wonderful welcoming city however on every occasion I've gone to pubjelly, I'm met with cold service. A bit on the pricey side.
Absolument Délicieux. Une Belle Expérience Gastronomique. Beau Décor, Ambiance feutrée & un Service Impeccable. Merci Loic pour cette belle soirée. On a eu du plaisir. 🍸

I had such a fantastic birthday dinner at Pubjelly. The food & wine was everything I hoped for. Jonathan was amazing, helped me book the reservation for a group quickly & made sure we could take some pictures in the lounge area. It was greatly appreciated.
Very sceney spot. The vibe is great for energy & romance. Come here with the expectation to enjoy the experience & see & meet interesting & exciting people. Dozen oysters come with a free martini from 5-7pm Tue-Saturday
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!
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

My god-what a place. This was our second visit to Pub Jelly, & it absolutely delivered again.
The food is phenomenal-not trying to be flashy, just excellent & competitive at the highest level. What truly sets it apart, though, is the service. The entire team operates as one unit: host, servers, kitchen, bar, expo-everyone is completely dialed in & clearly communicating. It's rare to see that level of coordination, & it shows.
Best of all, there's zero pretension. We showed up in sweats with less-than-perfectly-behaved kids & felt totally welcome. World-class service, great food, & a genuinely warm, unforced vibe. You can tell they care-& that they actually enjoy working together.
