Great pub! Staff was so friendly & a great selection of food & drinks! Really cool/different inside. Felt like we were in a cozy little cave. Would definitely visit again!

Visiting for a few days. Had some very good meals but after a few days the tourist vibe runs out. This spot screams local joint....if you dig a real pub this is the spot.

If you are reading this & then hit the 1 star reviews because you are curious [like me] ignore the fools who left a 1 star.

An ancient pub. Perfect bar food. Reasonable pricing. Games to play & kick back.

If I ever came back to the Old City...this would be on the list to visit.

Don't miss this gem pub if you don't mind strolling out of the main path filled with tourists. Great beer with decent price & nice outdoor seats. The building was made in 1600s.

Met some colleagues for a drink on the patio at the oldest pub in Quebec City. Cool little spit, great service.

Pub L'Oncle Antoine is one of those rare travel finds that completely charms you with its authenticity & character.

Tucked away on a quieter street in a tourist-heavy area, this pub is set in the cellar of a 270+ year-old building. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, & full of history, exactly the kind of place you hope to stumble upon in Québec City!!!!

It's popular with both locals & visitors, which is always a good sign. The standout? The onion soup. It absolutely lives up to the hype...rich, comforting, & honestly unforgettable...life changing, really. Don't miss it.

Service was friendly & welcoming, adding to the overall experience. A truly unique spot that captures the spirit of the city. Highly recommended.

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.
