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.

Emplacement magnifique. Service difficile & menu qui n'est pas à la hauteur de l'endroit. Par exemple, la moussaka, n'en ai pas une mais plutôt une ratatouille aux pois chiches sur croûtons à salade détrempés. À retirer du menu à mon avis. L'endroit demeure magnifique pour prendre un verre sur la terrasse

Je reviens d'un magnifique séjour de deux jours avec ma femme & nous avons adoré notre expérience à l'Auberge McGowan.

Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été charmés par l'atmosphère paisible & l'accueil chaleureux de toute l'équipe. Chaque membre du personnel était attentionné, souriant & véritablement soucieux de notre bien-être, ce qui a rendu notre séjour encore plus agréable.

Le décor est magnifique & l'emplacement est tout simplement exceptionnel. Quant au bistro, la cuisine est excellente, généreuse & offerte à un prix très raisonnable.

Que l'on arrive en voiture ou même en bateau, l'auberge est facilement accessible, ce qui ajoute encore à son charme.

Un immense merci à toute l'équipe pour votre accueil & pour ces beaux moments. Nous repartons avec de merveilleux souvenirs & avons déjà hâte de revenir!

Update - Regrettably, I need to change my original review. We recently came back this year & the quality of the food has significantly decreased. The breading on the calamari was very overcooked to the point that I couldn't even poke my fork through it. The fish & chips was also bland, the breading was soggy & did not stick to the fish. Sadly that's not all, we sat on the patio & were directly in the sun with no cover. When we asked what I assume to be the manager if we could add/move an umbrella to our table, we were simply told it would not be possible. He was not apologetic & did not offer any alternatives like switching tables or even going inside. Overall, we were very disappointed with our experience this year. Maybe we'll give it another chance next summer, but I'm quite hesitant...

Original - For the restaurant - I come here every year! Great spot to grab lunch on a sunny day. Right by the water so you're very likely to get a nice breeze if you sit on the terrace. The calamari is always a hit, they often change up the mains, I have always enjoyed the items that I've ordered.
