Pubjelly, a New Oyster and Wine Bar, Lands in Old Montreal | Eater Montreal

"A wine-and-oyster bar next door to the upscale Jellyfish Crudo + Charbon, Pubjelly focuses on apéro and late-night drinking and snacking; after a December soft opening cut short by Quebec’s dining room shutdown, it officially opens Tuesday, February 8 at 5 p.m. Run by chef Mathieu Masson-Duceppe with partners Francis Rodrigue, Roberto Pesut, and Charles Mary (all from Jellyfish), the 70-seat space is outfitted with dark, pub-like woods, leather seating, and suspended lighting inside an over-century-old red-brick building that once served as a railway station. The vegetable-forward small-plates menu includes leek confit with artichoke purée, mortadella, and bread crumbs, and burrata on a bed of avocado, delicata squash, pistachios, and basil; oysters are offered raw or cooked — one roasted with beef marrow and a lemon–white-miso butter, another prepared Carbonara style — and there’s Roman al taglio pizza (full or half, white or red base) with toppings such as potato, pancetta, gorgonzola, onions, and rosemary, or smoked caciocavallo, ’nduja, buffalo mozzarella, and roasted broccoli. Pizza was a natural route because the chef inherited a wood-fire oven from the space's previous tenant." - Valerie Silva
