Plus you get to visit one of the coolest villages in the laurentides.
We stopped in to watch a playoff football game on the way home from skiing Tremblant & could not have enjoyed our drinks & dinner more. Very hospitable, warm energy, & chill vibes. Worth a visit!

Very quaint & lovely place to spend the night. The owners were sweet, friendly & went above & beyond for us during our stay. Dinner at the pub was delicious, the drinks were excellent & dessert was a real treat! The free breakfast included with our stay was hearty & comforting on a cold winter morning. We will definitely be back for a stay in the summer!
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.
Best place in the area! The MacTavern makes you feel at home. Drinks are ALL great & the Welsh Rarebit leaves me wordless everytime.
The Scotch egg & the Fish & Chips are also big winners to me.
Thanks for a lovely evening! You guys rock & I can't wait to be back to what I value in a pub. Good food, good drinks, good people & good tunes. Have the Welsh rarebit!

While I still have a few days left to my stay, I think it is safe to say this team has done a great job bringing great food, drink, & accommodation to Val-David. ...Oh-- & they have Guinness on tap...
Less than 20 meters from the P'tit Train du Nord trail, access for cycling [or cross-country skiing in the winter] is a breeze.
Our group of eight enjoyed dinner & drinks on the deck. All of the food was excellent, especially the Welsh Rarebit. Servers & proprietors added to our fun. Highly recommend!
Perfectly situated off the ptit train du nord! On site bike storage available. Terrific food & drinks! Staff really went above & beyond to help us out & were also very fun to chat with :) rooms were clean & comfortable. will definitely be back!

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.
This place is absolutely amazing ! We were seven people & the service was quick & efficient! The employees were so kind & Do not get me started on the amazing burgers & drinks !
Definitely worth a visit !
