Review Summary

Auberge McGowan is widely praised for its stunning location overlooking Lake Memphremagog and its beautifully renovated, enchanting decor. Many visitors highlight the creative and high-quality seasonal cuisine, noting the excellent wine selection and the professional, warm service provided by the staff. While the overall atmosphere and breathtaking views make it a popular destination for special outings, experiences can vary depending on musical volume on the terrace, specific menu themes, and consistency in service or portion sizing. Despite these occasional observations, the establishment is frequently described as a remarkable gem in the Estrie region that offers a memorable and picturesque dining experience.

L'entrée de philo, le plat de flétan, l'assiette de cerf, les gâteaux aux carottes & opéra étaient excellents tant dans la présentation, le goût & la recherche culinaire. Petit bémol pour la soupe aux champignons qui manquait de consistance & légèrement de goût. Peux-être qu'une cuillerée de crème épaisse ou de crème sûre au milieu serait une suggestion? De même, la salade d'asperges en entrée demanderait à être retravaillée. Là aussi, portion trop frugale & la vinaigrette manque de punch.
À noter que nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre souper & le service. Merci

We had friends from out of town & the music was so loud, we could not hear each other talk. That is my only criticism. The atmosphere was beautiful. We got the table by the window. The food was fabulous,especially the gnocchi

You could skip the music, it is hard to have a conversation. I do not go to a restaurant to listen to music.

C'est toujours un plaisir de venir manger à l'auberge,cependant,nous avons remarqué hier une diminution des portions,notamment dans l'entrée de pétoncles & celle du foie gras.
C'est bien dommage...la prochaine fois,j'hésiterai à les reprendre.

The new Auberge ‘cGowan has no soul, the menu is just plain weird, pizza, lamb it just doesn't make any sense. The food is just OK not at all inspiring. It is like you don't know who you are , the place looks very classy & upscale BUT the food is NOT or menu selection.

It is the country should you not offer more local seasonal selections not fancy but great? Lunch you do a better job on menu.
Don't try to make it stuffy , people want to relax enjoy good food & enjoy the views etc etc.

I hope this helps because it just isn't working well right now.
