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.
Bonjour, j'aurais deux critiques positives à faire. La bavette de boeuf aurait tout avantage à être bien attendrie par les procédés bien connu aujourd'hui, de plus la carte des vins pourrait être un peu plus abordable, ce qui permettrait d'avantage l'accès à l'achat d'une bouteille. Le tartare de saumon pourrait être servi avec frites & salade sans ajouter le supplément de 8$ pour celle-ci. J'espère que ces quelques remarques seront bien utilisées. Daniel
Excellent service, repas excellent, belle endroit, service durant la reservation personnalisé, mais un peu pour la table d'hote pour pas grand chose dans l'assiette !
je vais revenir certainement pour le brunch sur la magnifique terrassse !!

Nous sommes allés en mars & le même brunch était 32$ & les portions un peu plus généreuse.Devriez garder le même prix & ceux qui veulent du mimosa payé l'extra .L'entrée en mars était mieux.En plus pas offert de café.
Cadre très agréable & service aimable & efficace. Ce que nous avons mangé était bon & bien présenté. Le menu aurait pu être plus varié & présenter des mets plus légers...
We had a very enjoyable evening. The meal was very good. We were a bit disappointed with the soup. It lacked robust flavourful. The entertainment was very enjoyable, a nice feature. There was one family there that we knew. This added to our enjoyment of the evening. The service was friendly & very professional. We had an excellent wine at a reasonable price. The overall price of the meal was on the high side which limits the number of times we could go there. The Auberge could benefit from a more reasonably priced lunch menu that might broaden its attractiveness for the wider Georgeville community. However, we are pleased it continues to exist, continuing a tradition that goes back to the end of the nineteenth century, a real tribute to Georgeville's history.
