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.

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.

LA LOI DU MOINDRE EFFORT!
Pas de réservation pour le brunch du dimanche, incapable de trouver une place pour 2 à des clients locaux qui reviennent pour encourager une nouvelle administration.
Pas FORT!

Restaurant incroyable. Notre coup de coeur de l'été. 4 visites depuis la réouverture il y a un mois. Tout est excellent, service impeccable, belle sélection de vins & menu qui varie partiellement chaque semaine. Une visite s'impose dans ce décor enchanteur!!!!

This is a lovely destination - a beautifully rebuilt auberge overlooking the Georgeville harbour & Lake Memphremagog. While our party had only drinks & a cheeseboard on the verandah, both were excellent & served with professionalism. Not cheap, but a great place to treat yourself to a special outing.
