Bel endroit chaleureux aux allures de pubs irlandais/écossais. La nourriture & le service sont excellents! Nous avons pris le Welsh Rarebit en entrée, & le fish & chips & les linguinis du moment en repas. Wow!
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.
Excellent service. Burger & fish & chips trop bons!! On va revenir souvent. Nouvel endroit préféré à Val-David. Accueille chaleureux. Ambiance familiale mais aussi parfait pour souper/diner entre amis avec bonnes bières & cocktails. Les chambres trop jolies & propres. Déjeuner compris. Parfait.
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!
Sommes allés pour le lunch sur la belle terrasse. Le service était top & les plats succulents! Nous avons partagé à deux une entrée tomates des champs & pêches de l'Ontario avec un assaisonnement sublime! Le fish & chips était excellent & mon conjoint a pris un steak qu'il a adoré & cuit comme il l'aimait! Très satisfait & une sortie resto à refaire!!! Merci à l'équipe de Mac Taverne 🙏👍
Super repas produit frais & très bien préparé. Fish & ships excellent ( poisson pas trop cuit & croustillant) ainsi que les frites. Super burger également. Je recommande fortement.
Drove in from Ottawa to try this new restaurant & it did not disappoint! The food, drinks, service & overall vibe were exceptional. Best fish & chips we've ever had! Highly recommend making the trip to Val David to check it out
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.
Quel service! Notre serveuse Lou était vraiment géniale & quoi dire de Jo la'belle barmaid' trop sympathique 😜 haha! Le fish n' chip était excellent. Je recommande ce resto pub sans hésitation! Merci à toute l'équipe pour la belle soirée! À bientôt !
