Au Comptoir MarCel is a restaurant and wine bar where gastronomes can come and discover an imaginative cuisine where everything is homemade. Just like the owners, the menu offered is also a piece of their identity, where they come from and where they have been.
Adventurers at heart, the two partners have traveled around the world for years. It was during their years in the Swiss Alps they began to imagine this place, inspired by their weekends discovering Europe, its vineyards and its culinary treasures.
Au Comptoir MarCel welcomes you in a relaxed and simple ambience where you can come and satisfy your thirst with a selection of privately imported wines, beers and ciders from local microbreweries along with a shared menu that changes throughout the year…without forgetting unique brunches served on weekends.
Au Comptoir MarCel is widely described as a standout in Magog, praised for inventive, well presented cuisine and a strong emphasis on seafood and Portuguese inspired flavors, with tasting and discovery menus that many gourmets consider highlights. The dining experience is frequently characterized by attentive, knowledgeable service and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, enhanced by a beautiful terrace overlooking the water and a thoughtfully curated wine program with well matched pairings. Guests consistently praise the presentation, the creativity of dishes, and the kitchen's ability to accommodate dietary preferences, while noting that portions can be generous on some courses and small on others, and that value for money can be a concern on tasting menus. The venue is often described as intimate yet lively, a cozy and elegant setting that delivers a memorable evening whether for a special occasion or a casual visit. Several reviews rank it among the best meals in Magog, with multiple return visits promised and a sense of discovery that keeps drawing people back. A few comments mention long waits or noise during busy nights and occasional dishes that didn't meet expectations, but overall the consensus is glowing about the quality, craft, and hospitality. In sum, Au Comptoir MarCel is portrayed as a small, highly skilled gem on the Magog dining scene offering refined flavors, superb service, and an experience centered on seafood and wine that guests look forward to repeating.
Accueil, services, sommellerie & cuisine formidables!!!! Du Bonheur en bouche & de la générosité sur tous les points. Les Hôtes sont adorables & très pros! Endroit à découvrir, & à conseiller. Nous y reviendrons, c'est sûr ! Merci encore pour cette mémorable soirée !
What a great experience! We went there for Valentine's Day & everyone in the staff was amazing, especially the maitre d. The amuse bouche was a real treat with the homemade focaccia straight out of the oven. Started out with oysters & salad. The oysters may not have been the best I've ever had, but the mignonette was just right & the salad was fresh & well dressed. We both went with fish for our mains, mine grilled, hers with a miso broth. Everything was fresh, inventive, nourishing, & most importantly delish. Just a really great experience. We will be back!

Meilleur restaurant à Magog! La cuisine est excellente, le personnel est courtois, professionnel & tellement agréable! Décoration & terrasse magnifique.
Enjoyed it so much we ended up eating there for 2 of our 3 nights in Magog. Ordering the tasting menu - & not knowing what as coming out - was a highlight of our trip.
