Nous avons mangé au MacTaverne pub! C'était vraiment une belle expérience culinaire, le fish & Chips & le burger étaient succulents. La bière aussi était excellente & que dire du service, wow! Julie offre un service extraordinaire. Merci nous reviendrons!

Food is passable owner Tim & staff feel there is something more than meets the eye. Unattentive aloof & not Professional is what you will receive. Mistake on ordered item not acknowledged. Pitiful. Food was fine at 200 w tax for 2 beers, rose glass wine, & 2 coke, one app egg scotch, one wing half, one burger, one fish chip one piri chicken. They failed on the Piri chicken since it was clearly microwaved. Rice which was reheated was dry. Burger delicious at $26 but pricey. Very limited menu with tons of staff excusing themseves for being overwhelmed & in fact are over staffed with 9 total workers & dining room of 33 seats *without including the porch*. Owner Tim kept insisting private party was the reason for short comings. Rating of 4.9 on google is a true exageration... Owner Tim in particular was confrontational & defensive as you can see in his response. Most 1 star reviews here are about the exact thing in this review. POOR service, limited menu. Find something else anywhere... somewhere else in this town. Dont deserve tourist dollar or locals....
I stayed overnight after arriving for a trip around Quebec via MTL airport assuming I would not want to drive a long ways after flying. This place was really great! I arrived probably as their Saturday dinner rush was picking up, but I was still greeted promptly at the door & shown to my room. The process was very smooth & is was not confusing between the restaurant & the accommodations. The room was very clean, comfortable, & quiet, it was super cozy & relaxing, you can't hear anything from the restaurant or road outside. I slept very well & was really glad that I decided to stay there during my trip. Everyone there was courteous, kind & helpful, as well as accommodating with language.
Since I was staying, I took the opportunity to enjoy the restaurant of course & it was really wonderful. They had a really nice list of cocktails, but I drank some of the local beer since it was warm & I sat on the deck. The whole menu also looked great & I was having trouble deciding, but the smell of the burger was really tempting, so I decided to order that, it was a perfect choice to go with the beer. The bun especially was really good, it seemed homemade either in-house or somewhere local. It came with a ton of french fries too, I felt like I ate a lot of the fries, but still somehow had half a plate left.
If you're staying overnight, breakfast is also included, the breakfast was really good! You have options between something like yogurt & fruit or eggs, etc. There's coffee out as well, the coffee was very good, I think they offer espresso/latte drinks upon request, but I cannot remember for certain because I just enjoyed the coffee.
Additionally, the area is beautiful, it's right next to a river with some falls you can walk around. There's a little pavilion & several benches along the path that leads to a footbridge. This area is not connected to MacTaverne & there are several private cottages, but it is a nice little area to walk around along the public area.
Nous avons juste essayé le restaurant lors d'un passage a Val-David.
Bonne adresse dans le coin, endroit chaleureux, n'hésitez pas y aller pour le dîner ou le souper. Très bon service malgré quatre enfants en dessous de 4 ans.
Nous avons aimé tous nos plats. Le fish & chip & la tourte au poulet étaient très réussi. Le burger bien, mais il lui manque un petit quelque chose. Le scotch egg était un des meilleurs que j'ai goûté au Québec.
Le service est excellent. L'ambiance & le décor sont agréable. Mon plat (fish & chips) excellent & les burgers sont généreux. Un excellent choix d'alcool & bière. Cependant le menu est très limité dans les choix.
Une superbe découverte. Auberge très bien rénovée avec un accueil des plus sympathiques, des chambres très confortables, un petit déjeuner compris & le tout pour 107$ plus taxes, c'est de loin le meilleur qualité prix que nous avons rencontré dans les Laurentides. & pour finir ils ont un pub ou l'on a mangé un succulent cheese burger & une non moins succulente tourte au poulet. Ne cherchez plus c'est LA place à Val David.
We came looking for the old brewery that used to be here - initially a little disappointed it had closed but oh my gosh MacTaverne Pub is just SO AMAZING.
We conservatively ordered a few apps to share & ended up making 3 more food orders over the course of the afternoon. The scotch eggs are to die for. The frites plus incredible. Every dish we had was amazing. The chef even cooked us a plain burger patty for our dog after a long day of hiking where we forgot her food.
The staff were equally as amazing - friendly, helpful & inviting. We will definitely be back.
