Reviews consistently describe Microbrasserie Nouvelle France as a memorable spot with striking, eclectic decor that nods to Quebec legends and a warm, convivial atmosphere. The menu earns high marks for seafood, especially trout, with tartare of trout, gravlax and smoked trout frequently praised as a shareable trio, and the trio of trout, mussels with blue cheese sauce, and other hearty dishes drawing compliments. The beer program is a major draw, with guests praising the variety, quality and the option to buy cans to go, while comfort foods like fish and chips pair well with well executed brews. Service is frequently described as fast and courteous, with attentive staff contributing to a positive experience, and the terrace noted as dog friendly and notably pleasant in good weather. A few diners feel some menu items are overpriced or not up to expectations, notably a burger that did not meet their standards, but overall the place is seen as a must visit in the region for a unique ambiance, generous portions and a strong focus on trout and beer.View restaurant profile
