Amazing food, amazing drink…..& amazing people!!
All staff is super accommodating & friendly. We arrived very early & were able to securely lock up our bikes. The location is walking distance to Main Street. The room is clean & beautiful. The food…yum!
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!

Ça m'a sauté au yeux .. c'est pas habituel de voir ça .. & en même temps ..être vigille de lensemble du plancher... histoire que tout aille à son standard de qualité qu'il s'impose à lui même 🙏👌 la pression .. ils la gèrent ensemble .. un maudite belle équipe ensuite sur de lui ..me decrivant ses menus ..ses ingredients..& surtout leur provenance !

We came to the restaurent to celebrate a friend & had the most amazing dinner experience.
The set menu was delicious! But what truly made the evening was how attentive the staff were. From offering us blankets when it got cold, to taking the time to make us signature drinks!
It will be my go to spot whenever I'm in the area.
5/5. One of the best restaurants! What is there not to love - spectacular food (from drinks to main to desserts), wonderful service, beautiful peaceful & picturesque location. Second year now that we've made a reso on our yearly trip to Val David - will continue this tradition!
Lovely stay at MacTaverne Pub. Great service for both the Inn & Pub. The vibe is relaxed & welcoming. Staff were extremely attentive & checked in often during the meals. Drinks were creative & tasty. The morning breakfast was included & provided a great start to the day. Very good addition to this part of town!
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.
