Across reviews, Albion is seen as a lively, welcoming spot with a warm, characterful building and a standout terrace, loved for its craft beer selection and friendly, attentive staff; food is generally praised as solid pub fare with strong points like poutine with toppings, fish and chips, burgers including a bison burger, calamari, tartare, salmon dishes and other shareable plates, though a few diners felt some portions were small or a bit pricey; the beer program gets frequent praise, from classic British styles to bold local microbrews, with many calling the beers excellent; the atmosphere ranges from relaxed to buzzy, and the place is described as a Joliette institution that often hosts live music and groups, making it a go-to for casual meals, after-work drinks or social gatherings; a few comments note that service can be slow during peak times and the terrace can be lively or even loud, but the overall sentiment is highly positive and many reviewers say they would return.
Great service from the boys (sorry I didn't ask for names but one of them was a previous brewer). My partner & I split the Albion burger, not usually a burger gal but this one hit the spot. I got the Blanche de Joliette which was awesome, even the IPA (not an IPA girl either) was delish. I bet this place is banging on a warm summer night, nailing it! We will be back.
Très déçu. La formule du fish &chip a changé. Ce n est plus de la morue & la vinaigrette de la salade & son contenu a aussi changé. Après 15 ans d appréciation je dois dire que je n irai plus. Dommage. Je suis certaine que je serai pas la seule à ne plus retourner.
Good beer selection & good service. If you dont know much about beer the staff can help you find one to your liking. Menu is alright you can find all of the burgers, poutine sides common to most brasserie type place. It was good but not amazing. The place is very beautiful very cozy. Good spot for a quick lunch if you happen to be in the area.
Je ne commente ni la nourriture ou le service, car je n'ai pas eu la chance de pouvoir venir manger au restaurant. J'avais réserver une table pour un diner professionnel avec des cleints, le restaurant me rappel la veille au soir à 18H30 pour finalement m'annoncer qu'ils vont faire des renovations & seront fermés...
Je peux comprendre qu'ils fassent des r]travaux, mais par contre me prévenir autant'dernière minute' n'est pas du tout professionnel.

Première visite à L'albion & ce fut une superbe découverte. Si on parle de leurs bières, elles sont incroyable ( la stout & l'impériale ). Niveau bouffe, j'ai essayé la poutine avec les extras crème sure, bacon & oignon vert version repas.... ayoye! Les frites, la sauce & la portion... De loin dans mon top 3 niveau poutine des dernières années. Alors, c est un peu loin de Québec mais a ma prochaine visite j'y retourne sans faute. Ah oui! Service & ambiance impec! Bravo
