Nous avons eu un excellent repas avec nos amis français!

They had us at Scotch egg & sticky toffee pudding… so rare in Quebec, & frankly so well done here! We loved the mostly traditional British courses. The fish & chips is as good as everyone says, & we loved the typical chicken & leek pie with its own tiny pitcher of jus. Really pleased to see that this idyllic waterfall-side locale has been repossessed by such a motivated team, whose enthusiasm for their concept is clear throughout the meal. One of the co-owners even made us an absolutely fantastic recommendation for a digestif to go with our dessert. It is a little Montreal for the setting, not in a bad way but one thing that is definitely not a big city are the prices. I don't know if they've made adjustments given some of the comments, but we were absolutely stuffed. The bill for three beer, a cocktail & a whiskey, as well as two mains & an appetizer, plus dessert at was well under what we would pay virtually anywhere else for the same quality, originality & overall experience. Service is excellent & friendly as described. We try to be loyal to the many great options in town, but we'll have to try & squeeze this one in among our other favorites!

Je suis tellement content de voir que cette entreprise familiale a su revamper complètement ce petit joyaux de Val-David. Le service est digne d'un restaurant trendy de Montreal mais avec la proximité des Laurentides. J'aime déjà manger plusieurs choix du menue & jusqu'a maintenant rien à dire tout est bon, il ne faut surtout pas passer à coté des scotch egg comme entré.
Bref pour moi c'est redevenue l'adresse que je fréquente le plus dans le secteur ... & en plus ils servent la Guiness comme en Irlande !

Endroit chaleureux, presque familial & le service est vraiment impeccable. Le menu change au fil des saisons & la qualité des plats est excellente. Bel ambiance, feu de bois l'hiver & une belle terrasse l'été. Allez y faire votre tour, vous ne le regretterez pas !

Probably the best food we've had in the laurentians. Tim & his family know hospitality. Creamy pint of Guinness & one of the best steaks I've had in a while. Will be back.

This is such a wonderful spot. Great food & atmosphere -- exactly the type of warm, cosy, hospitable place that perfectly fits the region. A must.

We first visited for a Guinness & were met with such friendly service. The waiter mentioned it was the best food in town, so we had to come back, & we're so glad we did. The fish & chips, chicken & leek pie, & sticky toffee pudding were all amazing. You can really tell everything is homemade. The wine was also excellent, & the service was great & friendly throughout. Highly recommend this place!

Honnêtement, c'est probablement la meilleure expérience gastronomique anglaise que j'ai eu côté bouffe & service.

Mais quelle ambiance chaleureuse !

À refaire.

Je vous conseille d'essayer l'auberge. Bon prix & très cozy.

I like small menus done well. We tried everything & it was all excellent.
The service, despite the unexpected rush, was calm & meticulous.

Nous sommes allés manger hier soir pour la première fois au Mac Taverne Pub & nous avons été comblés du début à la fin. Assis juste à côté du foyer, l'ambiance était parfaite. On peut s'entendre parler malgré l'endroit bondé de gens. Situé à proximité de la rivière du Nord à Val-David, l'emplacement ne peut pas être meilleure. Pour ce qui est du menu... WOW! Petit, mais maîtrisé à merveille. Ce qui à mon avis, est beaucoup mieux qu'un menu avec trop de choix où l'on peut se perdre. Nous avons pris les ailes de poulet & le Scotch egg en entrée & Fish & Chip & Cheeseburger en plat principal & pour la finale, le Sticky toffee pudding à l'érable. 😋 Pour ce qui est du menu alcool, y'en a pour tous les goûts (bières, vins & cocktails) & que dire du service, des gens passionnés à l'écoute des clients & prêt à vous conseiller sur les choix du menu. Bref, une soirée parfaite! Nous y retournerons certainement.

MERCI à vous & longue VIE au Mac Taverne Pub!

Ensconced in a cozy room after a winter ski & drinks in a lively restaurant with a fire in the corner. Come for the restaurant by all means but the stay over will give you a chance to enjoy the honest hospitality of the owners & staff. Plus you get to visit one of the coolest villages in the laurentides.

We stopped in to watch a playoff football game on the way home from skiing Tremblant & could not have enjoyed our drinks & dinner more. Very hospitable, warm energy, & chill vibes. Worth a visit!

Tellement heureuse d'avoir un pub de cette qualité dans la région. Menu avec des recettes classiques mais de qualité, service A1, ambiance parfaite que ce soit pour souper entre amis, prendre un verre un tête à tête ou même lire un livre avec une pinte au bar. Un de nos nouveaux endroits chouchous.

Séjour parfait! On y retournera pour l'ambiance décontractée, la gentillesse des hôtes, sans oublier les meilleurs fish'n chips (pour vrai). La prochaine fois avec les skis ou le vélo, selon la saison.
