We wanted an authentic pub experience & not'pretend Irish/British' for tourists. Pub L'Oncle Antoine looked perfect. We were not disappointed in terms of ambience. The history of this charming cellar pub, with low, rounded ceilings, & brickwork is cozy & authentic. Service was friendly & fast, & the draught pints were cold & priced right. If you're a pub, the first two priorities are pints, & pints. They nailed it. Food is the 3rd priority & at L'Oncle, was a dismal disappointment. Start with French Onion Soup: French chefs (& home cooks) everywhere weep tears of sadness at L'Oncle's mozzarella massacre of this iconic dish, claimed by their menu to be'authentic.' It is definitely not. The cheese layer is a solid 1.5 inches thick...more gluey that gooey (as if'gooey' is good either - which it isn't!) We scraped a half pound blob of cheese off the top & there was another half pound left. Yuk. The open-faced ham & cheese sandwich was another disaster. The culprit (what a surprise!) was the mountain of mozzarella cheese plastered all over it via the cook's brick-layer trowel at least 3/4 inch thick. If you think to bring your own trowel, you can maybe dig through the layer of cheese to find a sandwich somewhere. Don't get me wrong: I love cheese. The chef needs to ditch the cheap mozzarella on the soup & use Gruyere/Emmenthal instead - & like 50% less. Charge more if they have to. It'd be worth it. Even if I'm half-Italian, which I am, I'm not gonna adulterate onion soup with mozzarella. Ham croquettes love cheese. How about cheddar? Swiss? Raclette? Anything but mozzarella! The wings were OK. Cooked nicely. Under-seasoned & no dipping sauces.

Great pub in Quebec city with a chill/ fun vibe. Servers are great, drinks are fairly priced. A great spot to hang out after a dinner in the old town! I also had the French onion soup one night & it was great!

Chuck was lovely. Great service, good recommendations for places to visit around the town. Recommend for small bites (though the French onion soup was delightful) & pints with side shots of maple whiskey. Atmosphere was chill, games in the back if you want to play board games with your peeps.

Stumbled into this local bar & the vibe was amazing. Very friendly bartenders & always in a good mood. They were having fun when a famous French bar song came up. Love the ambience.

We even went there 2 nights in a row. Their French onion soup seems to be a highlight as it looks to be a best seller.
