Lots of love was poured into this place & it shows! A warm welcome by the owner is always a great start! Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, & you'll immediately want to come back for the drinks, fish n chips, & dessert. The simple menu is justified & you'll find something that suits everyone. Don't underestimate the green salad...fresh, crispy, & a yummy dressing (a family recipe). We loved our first experience so have already gone back. Hope you check it out!
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.
MacTaverne is one of those rare places that gets everything right. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with genuine hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The atmosphere is warm & cozy, the service is attentive without ever feeling rushed, & every dish is clearly made with care. The fish & chips were outstanding, & the quality of the ingredients really shines through. Pair that with a perfectly poured pint & the beautiful riverside setting, & it's an experience worth coming back for. Whether you're stopping in for dinner or spending the weekend, MacTaverne is a true gem in Val-David. Highly recommended!
What a great find! The food was delicious, the service was fast & welcoming, & the whole place has a cozy pub vibe that's hard to beat. Everyone was smiling & made us feel right at home. We had a fantastic meal & a couple of drinks, & everything exceeded our expectations. Definitely the best spots we've tried in Val-David.
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.
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.
