Occupying the space of the former Pub du Pont, Microbrasserie des Cantons opens its doors in a location that is both rich in history and has been the host of several beautiful human stories. A place that is seen as a gathering point for both beer enthusiasts and fans of our beautiful Eastern Townships region. Microbrasserie Des Cantons is led by a team of passionate and resourceful young entrepreneurs who aim to offer an alternative to the existing culinary offerings and contribute to revitalizing the area.
Des Cantons - Microbrasserie offers a warm riverside setting with a cozy fire and a lively terrace, and reviewers consistently praise the excellent food and the strong in house beer selection. Dishes range from pizza and burgers to calamari, tartare, and fish and chips, with many noting solid portions and good presentation for the price, though a few items are sometimes unavailable and some plates feel small for the cost. The ambiance is described as inviting and scenic, ideal for couples or friends, with the terrace offering nice views of the water and even dog friendly seating on occasion; however, crowds and busy periods can lead to slow or uneven service, understaffing, long waits, and occasional miscommunications. Several reviews highlight friendly and attentive staff, while others recount slower service during peak times. Overall, most readers say they would return to enjoy the terrace or explore more menu items, making it a top pick for a casual beer and meal by the water with some opportunity to improve on service consistency.
Ma salade asiatique était vraiment excellente. Tout le monde à table ont bien mangé. Nous avons été servis par June. Quel service! Wow pour sa personnalité & sa présence tout au long du repas. Elle a apporté un gros + à notre expérience générale! L'ambiance cosy était franchement agréable. Je vous recommande ce restaurant en couple ou entre amis c'est génial.

Belle terrasse & bel accueil. C'était une grosse soirée, la terrasse etait pleine & le service était très lent. La moitié de notre table de 6 a reçu son assiette 20 minutes avant les autres. La serveuse, tres gentille nous a offert un dessert à chacun pour nous dédommager. Pizza aux champignons grasse & ne vaut pas les 27$. Salade tiède & burger ont été appréciés. Beigne chaud avec crème glacée etait tout juste tiède & le beigne, visiblement provenait d'une marque sans nom d'une epicerie. Ne vaut pas son prix. Les couvertures sont appréciées puisque c'etait une soirée tres fraîche. Des chauffes terrasses en plus grande quantités seraient appréciés. Le restaurant à l'interieur est tres joli.
MALHEUREUSEMENT TRÈES DÉCU, COMME SALADE CÉSAR UN GROS ZERO, BURGER AU POULET PAS MAL MAIS TRÈS CHER AVEC QUELQUES FRITES, NOUS ÉTIONS 3 & N'Y RETOURNERONS
Nourriture excellente: salade César grillée & ailes de poulet en entrée, tartare de saumon & burger de poulet en repas principal. La salade César était excellente, portion très généreuse, & que dire du tartare de saumon! Frais, relevé & portion très généreuse. Sangria rouge très bonne! Notre serveur: wow! Dynamique, amical & attentionné! Une très belle soirée. Vous nous reverrez souvent!
On est allés là-bas hier soir pour le souper. Tout s'est bien passé. On a commandé la pizza spéciale Canton avec du smoked meat & de la salade. Les deux étaient excellents, les ingrédients étaient frais & savoureux. L'ambiance & le personnel étaient incroyables. Je recommande de réserver avant le soupe

I would give this a higher rating considering it's a cute spot for a drink on the terrace by the water & the servers were friendly, however the shrimp salad was quite literally inedible. I don't know why, but they added (not exaggerating) about 1/2 cup of sesame oil in the salad, I was left with a pool of pure oil in the bottom. All you could taste was the oil which also left a greasy texture in the mouth. My partner had the chicken club which was good, but I cannot deter you enough from ordering that salad.
Nous avons été très déçus d'être obligés de souper sur la terrasse....ce n'était pas notre intention. Le salade asiatique a perdu en qualité & en saveur (décevant & déplorable). Même le cocktail n'était pas à son meilleur. Dommage puisque nous aimions ce resto....
Le service a été parfait. La nourriture type brasserie est bonne (burger-frites avec petite salade en entrée). L'emplacement sur la terrasse au bord de l'eau très agréable en été. J'y retournerai.

The salad with roasted veggies was very nice- good dressing & finely chopped veggies. The smoked meat sandwich was pretty skimpy for $24 & only meh for taste. I've had much better in Canada. Skip this one.
Superbe soirée improvisée! Réservation dernière minute & ils avaient de la place pour 5 personnes sur leur grande terrasse. La plus belle vue de Magog sans aucun doute ! Service excellent par Alexandre & tout le personnel en général ! Les pizzas étaient délicieuses, la salade césar grillée est un incontournable & la bavette aussi. Bref, nous y retournerons cet été !!!
Many problems with our reservation. We had reserved for six by the water (the day before we saw there were 6 people eating by the river) & they told us this was not possible. It was our friend's 70th anniversary & we had requested a dessert & candle. through Opentable. No dessert arrived & the manager owner said I should have asked the waitress. Impossible as I was sitting by the birthday girl. & most importanly, my friend is celiac. We had chosen this restaurant as there was a poutine that was supposedly gluten free. When she ordered we found out the fries were cooked in the same oil as other fried food. She ended up ordering a burger wrapped in letture with a side dish of salad. The side dish had fried onions -- a no-go & the beef was half raw, My friend ended up eating 1/2 burger pattie for $24 + TAX + TIP.. The only positive of this restaurant is its location & the wonderful server that wax extremely patient wwith us. The manager/owner was of absolute no help. She does not understand gluten free & a celiac condition. SHe informed me that celiacs should not be eating fries!!! & my last statment is that noone was there to greet us ... we had to find our own table with 3 friends sitting on a bench & cushion.

Very disappointed with the misleading menu. We were expecting gluten free options as menu indicated but that was not the case. Finally my friend settled on a burger with lettuce, no bun, & a salad. When the salad came had fried onions. It was sent back. Her burger was also quite pink. A regular salad came after she was done eating. It was a very disappointing expensive experience for her. Server we had was very nice but no host or hostess at door to seat us. I think someone needs to review the menu so that it's not misleading to customers.
Nous sommes allés souper à cette microbrasserie hier soir. Malgré le fait que c'était bondé, nous avons eu un excellent service. Avons commandé: tartare de boeuf, salade boston, frites au parmesan & pizza spéciale des Cantons. Aucun reproche à formuler, tout était délicieux. Sans oublier les bières. Bravo à toute l'équipe.
