Restaurant: Emplacement & décor exceptionnel, toutefois grande déception sur le service & le menu, qualité correcte sans plus, & attente trop longue pour un lunch , plus d'une heure. C'est la troisième fois que nous vivons la même déception. Nous ne recommandons plus cet endroit.
This is a restaurant review, we didn't stay at the auberge.
We were seated quickly on the terrace with a beautiful view of the lake. It's a delightful location, & the auberge has been beautifully renovated.
We chose the mussels & the fish & chips from the lunch menu, along with an excellent Petit Chablis.
The serving staff were wonderful - friendly & attentive, very professional & welcoming.
The food arrived quickly, & the pesentation was excellent. Our meals were delicious, particularly the subtle strawberry & tarragon tomato sauce with the copious portion of mussels, albeit a little on the salty side for my taste.
The fish & chips were delicious, with fine, crispy batter. However, I was disappointed with the size of the cod portion - for the price there should have been 3 pieces at least. The fries portion was also a little on the small side, & the fries, while hot, were soft & soggy. The dish might have been more accurately described as'two bites of battered fish'... That said, tartare sauce was clearly home made & probably one off the best I've ever tasted anywhere in Canada.
I should add that when we mentioned the small fries portions our server immediately offered us an extra portion of fries, so full marks there.
All in all a delicious meal at a truly delightful location, a great experience marred slightly the stingy fish portion.
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.

Avons pris le lunch aujourd'hui. La guedille homard'absolument délicieux' dans un décor très charmant au bord du Memphre. Personnel courtois. Beau moment d'été. Excellent cappuccino aussi
Great lunch with a great view in a beautiful setting. Our first time back since it was newly renovated. Exquisitely done. The service was outstanding. Highly recommend.
Chutttt... Surtout n'ébruitez pas ce coin de paradis de l'Estrie! Nous avons profité d'un lunch exceptionnel sur la terrasse de L'Auberge McGowan avec un de nos fils & sa conjointe. Un délicieux lobster roll & un bon vin blanc: les bonheurs de l'été! Service discret, souriant, attentionné, nourriture fraîche & goûteuse, paysage exceptionnel. Merci à toute l'équipe!
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
