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.
Across reviews, Au Comptoir MarCel is described as a refined and generous dining spot with attentive service, imaginative cuisine, and a warm intimate atmosphere. The menu earns praise for Portuguese inspired dishes and seafood, with tasting menus and wine pairings noted as highlights, and a pleasant terrace view over the water enhancing the experience. Guests frequently commend professional and knowledgeable staff, and a strong wine program, while some mention that dining pace and value for money can vary. While most visits are described as memorable with creative presentations and flavorful dishes, a few experiences cite small portions for the price, occasional uneven timing or overcooked items, and noisy rooms. Overall the restaurant is regarded as a standout in Magog, with many planning return visits for special occasions and the tasting menu with wine pairings commonly recommended.
Le seul appareil d'air climatisé en fonction n'était pas suffisant pour assurer le confort dans la partie intérieure du restaurant. Il y avait 2 autres appareils sur le mur du bar qui ne semblaient pas fonctionner. On se demandait pourquoi; ils auraient été bien utiles.

Nous avons passé une très belle soirée. Le menu découverte était savoureux & Julie, notre serveuse, nous a offert un service sans faille. Bravo à l'équipe. Nous y retournerons avec un grand plaisir.
The service was great, the food was some of the best we've had in a while. The prices are reasonable. We had the fresh oysters, sardines, the seafood rice & the halibut. The desserts are also delicious. Great atmosphere. We've tried multiple restaurants throughout our stay & this was the #1 for us.
Magnifique découverte débordante de saveurs toutes plus succulentes les unes que les autres. Calmars, moules, vitello tonnello, flétan, riz, pâtes & paris Brest, juste divinement délicieux! Mention pour le service plus que parfait & pour le talent du chef & de sa brigade! 👌🏼 Nous le recommandons avec bonheur & y retournerons assurément. Merci pour le souper mémorable!
Ce restaurant a été un coup de coeur. Le plat dégusté était fameux, frais, estival & j'en garde d'excellents souvenirs gustatifs. Le service était discret & convivial. L'emplacement, un peu en retrait de la rue, nous propose une terrasse couverte faisant face à un cours d'eau. Malheureusement, notre table donnait sur un conteneur à déchets. Ça enlève un peu de magie. Néanmoins, j'y retournerais pour découvrir d'autres plats.
Nourriture & ambiance parfaites! Le service a été particulièrement long en début de repas. Presque 35 minutes avant qu'une serveuse vienne prendre notre commande initiale!

We opted for the tasting menu with the wine pairing & had an excellent meal that was very reasonably priced for the high quality of the food. The staff were also very friendly.
We had one of the best meals we've had in a long time. Beautiful presentations & delicious. Waitstaff were attentive & genuinely friendly. Would definitely go to MarCel again.
A must try restaurant when in Magog! The food was amazing & the staff was even more spectacular. Super friendly & helpful. They helped us order 4 amazing dishes; sardines, octopus, pasta w/ shrimp & lions mane mushroom. All where to die for! So next time you're visiting Magog, make sure you make reservations early!
