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.
Nous avons vécu un merveilleux moment vendredi soir . Ambiance propice à discuter entre amis, service incroyable & attentionné. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation 6 services accompagné de choix de vins divers. Tout était goûteux, raffiné ; présentation soignée , explication des plats & des vins en toute simplicité & maîtrise de tout . Excellente flexibilité pour les intolérances ou allergies. C'est un endroit à mettre sur votre liste & à adopter !! Merci pour la belle soirée .

Soirée parfaite, très bons plats & vins en accord suggérés. Super service incluant une considération spéciale pour une personne ayant des allergies. Merci beaucoup, nous avons déjà hâte de retourner!!
The food was very disappointing. We ordered the top two main dishes on the menu & neither of them tasted good. The seafood, with mussels shrimp squid etc, was overcooked & shrunk to rubbery texture. The mussels were not fresh. The broth for the seafood dish somehow had no umami from seafood at all. Beef shoulder has no seasoning, as if it's cooked in plain water. The starters were okay. Cod fish & shrimp fritters were good but the portion was super small. Foie gra was the best of all the dishes we ordered, probably because it didn't need to be cooked. As for the atmosphere, we heard it's a nice quiet place, but it was so loud! People were drunk & talked in a very loud voice. Some kids were screaming. It was a horrible experience. Our server did not refill our water until we asked for it after the meal. We were told to go to the counter to pay the bill, & we had to wait there for our server to find the POS machine. I don't know how this place got such a high rating. Maybe our experience was an outlier. But messing up two most expensive mains just doesn't feel right.
Tres belle place à Magog, Un service attentif & bienveillant, Une atmosphère conviviale, Une carte efficace qui donne la part belle aux produits locaux, Tous les ingrédients pour passer une belle soirée !
Cosy with a friendly atmosphere & attentive, professional service. The expert sommelier recommended perfect wine pairings for our seafood dishes from the private-import wine list, & our dishes were exquisitely plated. Without question, the best bistro-fine-dining venue in Magog at present.
Ce restaurant demeure une découverte à chaque fois que j'y vais. Tout débute par une ambiance parfaite, le service pourrait être Note à 17/10. Le chef & sa cuisine incroyable 20/10. A chaque occasion le moment est tout simplement divin.
Le meilleur restaurant à Magog & dans les environs. Un vrai chef ! Tout est délicieux & d'une fraîcheur incroyable. & le service vraiment attentionné & excellent ! À bientôt...
