Nous y sommes allés hier avec des amis. Super ambiance , le personnel est vraiment serviable & de bons conseils. Le steak de boeuf bio est un incontournable. Nous y retournerons certainement. Bravo
Wow, amazing food, friendly atmosphere & a great playlist. What more do you need. Our steak & pie were absolutely divine. Worth the small detour. Looking forward to this summer on the terrasse.
J'ai été surprise d'arriver au même établissement que j'avais visité l'an passé, mais pas exactement. Reprise d'un commerce que j'avais visité l'an passé, je trouve l'endroit BEAUCOUP plus chaleureux avec sa nouvelle peau.
Menu limité mais tout semble délicieux chez mes voisins de table; j'entends des éloges du steak, un crounch du fish & chips, des Scotch egg qui m'ont l'air, ma fois, décadent! Ou un classique cheeseburger, & les frites ont l'ai bonne!!
J'ai commandé le Welch Rarebit (pensez une'fondue' fromage sans prétention ou un pain gratiné plein de goût) & le fish & chips. Il est resté rien dans mon assiette!
Le petit salon du INN est beaucoup plus invitant, avec jeux de cartes, de dés, café, thé...
La chambre est confortable & coquette, propre & tout plein d'oreillers!
Inclusifs, avec chaises hautes, la maman en moi est heureuse.
Les employés sont super sympa! Entreprise familiale, j'ai jasé au fils le soir & au père le matin.
Belle vue sur la rivière & ses rapides.
Je recommande +++
P.S. Sticky toffee pudding: 5*****
P.P.S. WOW! Un desjeuner inclus avec la chambre!!! & vraiment bon en plus!! Même le café est super & ils offrent même du thé Camélia Sinensis 🫶
P.P.P.S. J'ai changé ma note a 5/5 car Google ne permet pas 4.8/5
Ce qui aurait gagné la note parfaite aurait été des bières rousse/ambrée/brune au menu, & bien sûr si il y avait plus d'option de repas & surtout, de la poutine au menu! Mais tout ce qui se trouve au menu est bon, alors ils ont misé sur les valeurs sûres.
My son & I sat at the bar for an early meal on this cold & sunny day. The place is charming & I looked forward to a pint of Guinness. As we sat down, the barman started one for another customer & he poured it well.
We started with a Scotch Egg & ordered the Steak Frites. The Scotch Egg was the best I'd ever had. The sausage, the soft boiled egg, the creamy yolk - perfect. The Guinness was gorgeous. Great cream that clung to the glass with every sip. Then the steak came out. Goodness. My son & I looked at each other. Great plating & sides. It was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Delicious - full stop!
Probably the best food we've had in the laurentians. Tim & his family know hospitality. Creamy pint of Guinness & one of the best steaks I've had in a while. Will be back.
Food, vibe, & people - five stars!! I spent many years working in great restaurants which has made me really appreciate good food & this is one of those spots you always hope to find. Family-owned with a well-chosen wine selection & incredible food that's made with local ingredients & love. The steak was truly perfect. Highly recommend!
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.
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 💯
Cet endroit est parfait pour profiter de la nature & relaxer. Nous y avons très bien mangé & y avons dormi une nuit. Un steak parfait à partager & une chambre très propre. Nous recommandons cette auberge sans hésiter.
