Review Summary

Auberge McGowan is described as a stunning lakeside retreat with a recently renovated, stylish interior and breathtaking views over Lake Memphremagog, providing a setting that elevates every meal. The food generally earns high praise for quality, flavor and careful presentation, with diners enjoying everything from brunch and lunch on the terrace to refined dinners and a well regarded table d'hote, though a few notes mention small portions for the price and some inconsistency on off nights. Service is repeatedly described as warm, attentive and professional, yet a number of visits flag occasional delays, less refined service during peak times, or menu rigidity for vegetarians. The terrace ambiance is a highlight, often described as serene with sunsets, though summer evenings can bring loud live music on the terrace that makes conversation difficult. Overall, the location, decor and cuisine combine to make it a memorable experience worth returning to despite occasional price concerns and brief service snags.

Le nouveau McGowan est magnifique, tout comme le service & la qualité du menu. Qqs auvents en terrasse permettraient de préserver le cachet de l'expérience Al Fresco que nous aimions tant.

L'environnement magnifique!
Le serveur je lui donnerais 6 étoiles
Pour ce qui est du repas: j'ai pris le tartare de saumon , & il manquait de Punch . La présentation était correcte.
J'ai beaucoup apprécié qu'on remplace les frites par une salade.
Pour mon amie , elle avait commandé un Lobster Roll. L'apparence était de seconde qualité. Le pain était petit & légèrement brûlé & les frites n'& Pas digne d'un restaurant haute gamme. Elles m'apparaissaient molles & elles étaient noircies. Pour éviter cet effet, l'huile doit être changée régulièrement. Car plus l'huile est cuite & recuite plus elle noircit les frites & ce processus aussi contribue au développement des gras trans.
L'endroit est bucolique & je crois que le repas doit être à son image!
Bravo pour l'environnement C'est une réussite totale!
