An Unforgettable Stay at the Mactavern! Already Can't Wait to Return
My partner & I escaped to Val-David for a snowy weekend of relaxation & exploring, & our stay at the Mactavern was nothing short of incredible.
From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the staff. After dropping off our bags, we were greeted by two of the four owners-warm, genuine, & excited to show us around their beautiful (new) space. The location is perfect: just a short walk from the quaint village shops & right in front of the river, whose gentle stream you can hear from the auberge. It's the kind of atmosphere that instantly makes you exhale.
Naturally, we wandered into the restaurant, where the crackling wood oven in the corner set the perfect cozy ambiance & the host offered a warm blanket. It was perfect as the first layer of snow settled outside. Soon after, we were introduced to Mike & Tim, the brother duo & creative forces behind the kitchen (Mike) & the drinks (Tim). Their passion shows in everything they do, this is truly a place for foodies, by foodies.
We began with two hot cider drinks & a crisp lager, which paired beautifully with the perfect fish & chips, flaky, cooked just right, with cold peas that balanced the dish perfectly. As our second courses made their way to the table, I noticed Tim warming our plates on the wood oven. They think of everything, & that care shows in every detail.
Then came the steak & linguine. All we can say is wowwww. The steak was phenomenal, & the peppercorn au jus was honestly the best I've ever had.
From the food to the ambiance to the heartfelt hospitality, the entire experience at the Mactavern was unforgettable. Thank you to the whole team for an exceptional stay. We can't wait to come back.

We recently visited MacTavern with a group of friends celebrating multiple birthdays & was blown away by the experience. The food was absolutely amazing-fresh, flavourful, & clearly made with care. Tell Tim at the bar what you like & he will whip you up an amazing cocktail based on what you like. The cozy atmosphere made it the perfect place to relax & celebrate! The staff were warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming.
We also all stayed overnight, & the rooms were fantastic-clean, incredibly comfortable. The bed was perfect for a great night's sleep, & the breakfast in the morning was just as impressive as the dinner: delicious, well-prepared, & a great start to the day. I can't wait to go back!

At the MacTaverne, it's all about the small details.
My partner & I spent a night here & enjoyed every moment. This family run establishment does it right - from the cocktails & homemade cider to everything that's cooking in the kitchen.
The food was delicious. The scotch egg, fish & chips, & steak were our favorites, but we loved everything we tried.
Our room came with a massive tub that did not disappoint. We got to explore the surrounding area & come back for cozy bites in between.
1000/10 would recommend! A great family running an exceptional business 💯

We had such a pleasant & peaceful stay at MacTaverne - I would definitely recommend it. Clean, cozy, & charming. The family running this place offers true hospitality & makes you feel right at home.
The pub experience is amazing. From a proper draft Guinness to simple & well-balanced cocktails, everything hit the mark. The fish & chips alone I would drive 1hr for, & the cheeseburger is a solid choice any day of the week. But the absolute must-try is their scotch egg - with a perfectly jammy yolk & served with a homemade HP-style sauce that I'd happily buy by the bottle. Sticky toffee pudding for dessert? Yes. Order it. You won't regret it.
To top it off, after have stayed the night, the small breakfast was a lovely touch & a pleasant surprise which included fresh coffee, tea & a few simple, but hearty plates made to order- the perfect way to start the day.
Long live MacTaverne!

Such a hidden gem in beautiful Val-David! A charming, family-owned spot right by the river. We sat on the terrace & loved every moment. The food is absolutely 5-star - highly recommend the house lager, fish & chips, cheeseburger, toffee pudding & clafoutis. Friendly service, cozy atmosphere, & an unbeatable setting. A must-visit!

We loved our time at Mactaverne.
A truly charming spot with an incredible attention to detail. The cozy ambiance, music, & the balcony overlooking the river create an atmosphere that's both relaxing & memorable, the sound of the flowing water is pure serenity. The staff are exceptional!!!! They are friendly, attentive, & genuinely thoughtful. The food is hearty & delicious, with a great pub-inspired menu yet refined. We tried & loved their house lager. It is crisp, flavorful, & clearly crafted with care. A perfect mix of comfort, quality, & hospitality. Highly recommend!

MacTaverne was the perfect discovery on our recent trip to Val-David from Ottawa. After a day on the trails, its cozy, rustic atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, but the food & drinks truly elevated the experience. We were immediately impressed by their creative cocktails, which were a clear cut above standard pub offerings. While their Fish & Chips were perfectly crispy & delicious, the absolute showstopper was a surprisingly brilliant linguine. Finding a pasta dish so vibrant & perfectly executed was a delightful surprise that proved this kitchen has serious range. Friendly service & a great vibe make MacTaverne a must-visit spot in the Laurentians, & it has become an instant favourite for us.
