The McGowan Inn opens its doors to a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a bar, where you can enjoy a drink or a good coffee. The adjoining dining room, completely glazed, and the large terrace offer a magnificent view of Lake Memphremagog. The Inn also offers a private room that can accommodate a group of 12 people for a meeting or for a meal taken in complete privacy.
Local products are featured, including fine herbs from the Inn's garden and organic vegetables from the Jardin du Quartier, which holds a farmers' market on Saturdays in Georgeville.
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.
food, location, service, all great. a nice lake breeze on the terrasse. had prochuitto/melon, Salmon tartare, fries saled nicoise, all very nice. overall worth the detour.
Endroit magnifique, accueil chaleureux, ambiance sympathique & raffinée à la fois, repas délicieux...on est en vacances des qu'on tourne sur la petite rue vers le lac pour de rendre à l'auberge!
Cher pour ce qui est servi. Malheureusement, il y a eu confusion en cuisine & nous avons longtemps attendu notre plat principal. Le serveur a été très professionnel.
vue sur le lac de la terrasse, apaisant.
Vue sur le jardin, magnifique.
Service courtois & sympathique.
Nourriture (salade de foie de veau & tartare) & les frites, miam!!
Pour un endroit aussi magnifique on devrait s'attendre à cuisine plus recherchée & savoureux. Mes 2 derniers repas le midi m'ont très déçus. Toutefois le brunch du matin m'a beaucoup plu.
Très bon repas mais terrasse mal organisée pour quelqu'un qui veut manger à l'ombre plutôt que sous le soleil tapant du midi. Les parasols ne sont pas amovibles & leurs bases sont tellement grosses que les chaises sont coincées. Nous avons du changer de table car il était impossible de mettre la chaise droite devant la table. Très inconfortable de manger de cette façon:-(
