Oncle Antoine is situated in a building dating back to 1754 and holds the title of the oldest bar in Quebec. Think unevenly carved stone walls, dungeon like vibes and quality brews. The pub is also known for some of the best French onion soup in Quebec, so that cannot be overlooked. The cheesy hot bowl of goodness is indeed spectacular, particularly differentiated through the quality of the cheese itself. The place does get pretty packed, so there is often a wait and it's wise to plan accordingly.

We wanted a light lunch and wanted to try the french onion soup , since it was highly recommended. The soup was good, but not the best. The broth is made with red ale and was a little salty. There was so much cheese, it ended up being a bowl of melted cheese. My daughter had the smoked meat sandwich - french bread , corned beef topped with mozzarella cheese. The cheese was a bit overpowering. They have a large variety of beers and several were local. The atmosphere was very cool and historic with arched stone bricks , drinks were good and food was a bit disappointing.

Our poutine was delivered to the table and I can honestly say it was our favorite. The fries were crunch and creamy on the inside. The gravy was rich and had a deep flavor and the cheese curds had lightly melted. Every bite was perfect. The eatery and bar are tucked into a stone house that dates back to 1668, if only the walls could talk. The bar and restaurant feature local Quebec cuisine and is a gem.

Almost at the entry to old town they entice you with a dinner special. This place is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was perfect -- warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The staff went above and beyond, super friendly and genuinely happy to be there (which says a lot). They also spoke English which helped out a lot. Now the food... unreal. Everything we tried was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The beer selection. Over 200 beers on tap and in bottles -- local brews, imports, seasonal picks -- literally something for everyone. The bartender knew his stuff and even helped us find the perfect pairings for our meal. Between the amazing food, the unbeatable beer list, and the great service, this place checks every box. Definitely my new go-to spot for dinner, drinks, and good times with friends. 10/10 -- Can't wait to come back!

Lots of different sized tables. Ooh they have a shelf full of board games. Food: I don't drink but they have lots of craft beers and the couple next to me loved the amount they had on tap. When I first walked in the waitress walked by with what looked like a giant lasagna with salad and I thought oh I want that. When I looked at the menu I realized they don't have lasagna and I figured it must be the croques Monsieur. So that is what I ordered and that is exactly what came. It was very generous and full of cheese which was toasted golden brown it was really good. The salad was good too really fresh the dressing was good. I'm glad I chose it. Staff was nice. They spoke both French and English depending on what you were more comfortable with. I stumbled through French because I'm in Quebec I should speak French. It was a really casual vibe it was like a nice little oasis I had been walking a lot that day and it was just relaxing and chill. Would totally go again. I really like the food.

A couple Californians in a big pickup truck were not greeted with confetti and rose petals by all of the Quebecois. Not to fault them, I'm sure not all of our predecessors left a glowing impression. Regardless, walking into Pub Dunn we came in from the cold, in more ways than one. A good bartender will listen to a couple of youngsters with a story and seem interested. Whether or not it's a good story is immaterial - with a great bartender you'll never know the difference. So, we decompressed for a while over pints of local beer and some fantastic venison sausage and pie, and, a couple hours later, crunched our way through the snow to our hibernating, rear-wheel-drive symbol of jingoism and imperial hubris. A week later we were back in L.A., where the only snow was relegated to the peaks on the horizon and the sand on the beach would burn your feet. At that point, I realized that probably more people here than there refuse to speak English, and random people still treat you like you peed in their Cheerios. And here, there's no Pub Thomas Dunn. We're less for it.

There was a jazz trio playing -- two elderly men on guitar and bass, and a younger fellow on the drums. They were rocking it. The crowd got pretty into it too, applauding the solos, swaying, and tapping their feet, without really getting disruptive. It's a good environment for this sort of music. A lot of jazz bands in bars and restaurants tend to sort of blend into the background, getting just a smattering of applause from the nearest table. It was nice both the musicians and patrons at Le Fou-Bar enjoying themselves. Besides the music, it seems like a pretty standard-issue bar. Not unpleasantly loud or crowded, even with the music. A bunch of beers on tap, mostly from Montreal's McAuslan brewery. The French reviews mention a large whiskey collection, but I didn't inspect it closely. I also saw a food menu, though I didn't see anyone eating from it, so it may be prudent to get your dinner elsewhere. The clientele seemed mostly local, and French-speaking, though the staff did speak more English than I spoke French. They did not seem to mind my non-Francais-parlezing ways. So basically, these five stars are not really for the food or drink or service (which seemed standard), but for being a fun, casual spot to listen to some good live music. From what I can decipher on the website, they have someone playing at 9pm every Tuesday.
