Came here for a special dinner with my husband! Beautiful dinner outside with a view of the river & the blankets for when it got chilly was a great touch!! Fish & chips were amazing & one of the best steaks we've had. Can't forget the delish scotch egg & yummy cocktails. Service was excellent, we felt very warmly taken care of. Such a nice spot for a night out :)
We had the most amazing time at MacTaverne! The food was delicious & the service was wonderful! Tim & his team made us feel so welcome & the vibes on the terrasse were lovely with the setting sun by the river! We loved the scotch egg & the steak was sooo good. Amazing cocktails as well! The rhubarbara Streisand was perfectly tart & sweet.
We had the best time at Mactaverne celebrating my sister's bachelorette dinner!! Every staff member made us feel so welcome & truly made the experience unforgettable! Every dish was superb, we particularly loved the crunch potatoes & the scotch egg! The cocktails & wine selection was top tier! Shout out to Tim for being so accommodating to our large group coming in earlier & keeping us feeling great for the whole evening!
MacTaverne exceeded our already high expectations. After an incredible first visit for cocktails, we returned for dinner & weren't disappointed. The owner Tim & the bartenders, Charles, were warm, welcoming, & genuinely passionate about what they do, creating an atmosphere that makes you want to linger & come back again. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy & sophisticated.
The food was exceptional. The steak frites were cooked perfectly, the salad was fresh with a light yet incredibly flavourful dressing, & every dish reflected the same attention to detail we'd experienced on our first visit.
The cocktails remain a standout & are among the best we've had....ever! The highlight of the evening was an Irish coffee unlike any I've experienced. The silky mousse used instead of traditional whipped cream was brilliant twist that elevated a classic into something truly memorable. It was, without question, a next-level Irish coffee.
MacTaverne was an elevated cocktail & dining experience but set in a warm amd welcoming setting. I'm already planning my return.
Excellent service! De l'accueil à la fraîcheur des aliments en passant par les cocktails & l'ambiance familiale tout y est pour une soirée ou un weekend réussie.
Merci à toute l'équipe!
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.
Édit: la réponse à la crique étant que les portions (de frites & pétates!) sont généreuses en dit long sur la confusion de genre entre le pub de campagne boueuse & le restaurant qui veut pratiquer des prix (g)astronomiques. C'est de la quantité donc! Dommage que je n'ai ai pas pris en photo la tablée pour confronter une affirmation aussi mensongère que malhonnête. Encore une compagnie à numéro qui aura disparu dans 5 ans?
Pas certain si c'est une plaisanterie de mauvais goût ou bien un excès de prétention qui profite d'être au milieu de nul part pour pratiquer des prix absolument délirants au regard de la quantité & la qualité des plats. Des cocktails au vin en passant par les entrees, les plats & le dessert il n'y a rien qui va côté rapport qualité-prix. Pas mauvais en tant que tel mais oser pratiquer les prix de Loiseau d'à côté ou encore Baumier sans en avoir le cadre, la qualité ni le service est tout simplement obscène. À éviter à tout prix sauf si vous voulez avoir à raconter une histoire pas drôle à vos petit-enfants ou passer pour un cave au bureau.
We ate steaks here after a long day in the woods, & it felt like stepping into some fairytale, like a place hidden behind a door at the base of a large tree.. steaks were amazing. Extremely high quality, cooked medium rare how I like it, the fat was the best part. Grass fed fat just tastes different. They have a wizard making cocktails too because the drinks were perfect!
Très sympa pour le dîner, très gentil service, j'ai eu droit à une couverture parce que j'avais gardé mon manteau. Très bons cocktails biens dosés. Les plats délicieux & copieux. Excellente viande.
