L’Auberge McGowan ouvre ses portes sur un salon avec foyer au bois et un bar, permettant d’y prendre un verre ou un bon café. La salle à dîner attenante, complètement vitrée, et la grande terrasse offrent une magnifique vue sur le lac Memphrémagog. L’Auberge propose également une salle privée pouvant accueillir un groupe de 12 personnes pour une réunion ou pour un repas pris en toute intimité.
Les produits du terroir sont à l’honneur, dont les fines herbes du jardin de l’Auberge et les légumes bio du Jardin du Quartier, qui tient un marché de producteurs les samedis à Georgeville.
L'expérience à l'Auberge McGowan est signalée comme exceptionnelle par son emplacement spectaculaire au bord du lac Memphrémagog et son décor harmonieux qui met en valeur la vue; la nourriture est souvent décrite comme excellente et le service, globalement attentif et professionnel, mais quelques critiques pointent des améliorations possibles: menu peu flexible pour les végétariens, plats parfois servis tièdes, et des prix relativement élevés, surtout pour la table d'hôte ou certains plats à la carte. L'endroit est aussi apprécié pour la qualité du cadre rénové, les chambres et suites spacieuses avec vue sur le lac, et l'ambiance sereine sur la terrasse lors des repas en plein air; les expériences nocturnes peuvent varier, avec des nuisances comme une musique forte en été mais compensées par le charme du site et la constance du service. En somme, c'est un lieu recherché où l'on revient pour l'emplacement, le cadre et la gastronomie, malgré quelques bémols ponctuels et le souci de flexibilité du menu.
An idyllic location!
Even on a rainy spring evening I could tell the beauty of McGowan restaurant by the lake.
The food is excellent & so is the atmosphere.
No longer the much loved, charming old fishing pourvoirie that it used to be, The McGowan House has morphed into an exquisite restaurant & boutique hotel of fine taste. Rebuilt with deference to its patrimoine britanique du Quebec its style reflects the architecture of this very special historical village.
Each time we return to dine we are pleasantly surprised by the quality of the cuisine, the kindness of the staff & the beauty of the sunset across the lake. Thank you to all who have made this village jewel a reality.
Our friends dined with us Saturday night at Auberge McGowan. We were delighted by the design of the property, lobby & dining room. It is stylish & fresh without feeling pretentious. It was dark when we arrived, but we could see light reflecting off the lake from our table. Even though the atmosphere was amazing, the food was even better. Auberge McGowan served four courses of outstanding & very delicious dishes. We enjoyed every tasty morsel. We all agreed that we will look forward to our next dining experience there. We highly recommend dining at Auberge McGowan!
I had lunch with my husband & friend on Friday. We were so pleased with the whole experience! The setting was beautiful with a view of the lake & the restaurant was quiet. So happy there was no loud music playing as some of us have hearing issues. We were able to enjoy our conversations. Thank you! The food was delicious with 2 having the fish & chips (beautiful piece of cod with a light crisp batter) & I had the gnocchi with wild mushrooms, peas & pancetta. Excellent! With a glass of wine it was the perfect lunch. This is the third time since July that my husband & I have brought friends & dined at Auberge McGowan. We will definitely be back to enjoy a winter meal. Hopefully in front of your fireplace. Here is a picture from our July lunch.
Unfortunately must revise my review after years of dining at the Inn as a result of finally staying there. It seems for such a small inn there's a lack of communication & poorly run administration & service. The inn attempted to charge for more nights then actually stayed, need to show them evidence of the date called to confirm the reservation. Then after requesting that they prepare the sofa bed from my children to sleep in as we were arriving back late after a wedding, coming back to the room quite late to find it was not done. & there was no linen in the room to do it myself. A single kitchen staff member still onsite cleaning provided some linen. This was completely unacceptable for an inn of this caliber. I requested that the Manager call be back to discuss this when speaking to staff, & that call never came. The lack of accountability an unprofessionalism seems to be consistent. I would not recommend anyone to stay here. As for the restaurant, great spot for lunch with a great view of the lake. We've been here many times throughout the summer & it's always just as charming as Georgeville itself
