Visitors to Magog looking for a fun spot to spend a night out should check out Microbrasserie La Memphre. The microbrewery serves a range of specialty ales and lagers, and features a menu of traditional favourites.
Overall, reviews portray La Memphré as a lively, welcoming microbrewery with a strong beer program, a warm atmosphere, and a solid menu that many diners praise for generous portions and comforting bistro fare, with standout items like poutine, duck confit, and Portuguese chicken, and a terrace with lake views that makes it a popular spot; service is frequently described as friendly and attentive, though a few guests note quirks such as noise levels when crowded, occasional delays, and occasional menu inconsistencies or dishes that did not meet expectations (fish and chips, burger, salads). Some visitors highlight good value and a family friendly vibe, while others caution about wait times, stockouts, and a few service slips. The overall impression is that La Memphré is a must-visit for beer lovers and those seeking a lively Magog pub atmosphere, with a broad beer selection and a convenient location near the lake.
Le 18 mai 2026, c'est la première fois que je n'ai pas aimé manger au restaurant La Memphés. C'est pourtant le restaurant préféré de ma fille, mais j'ai été très déçu.
Les frites semblaient congelées & étaient trop cuites, les calamars étaient sans saveur, les burgers manquaient de sauce & le fish n'avait aucun intérêt. Les plats, de façon générale, semblaient bâclés & manquaient vraiment de goût.
Je ne veux jeter la pierre à personne. Je comprends que travailler un jour férié puisse être plus difficile pour l'équipe en cuisine, mais cette fois-ci, c'était franchement catastrophique.
J'ai tout de même laissé 5 étoiles comme d'habitude pour le service, mais seulement 1 étoile pour la cuisine. Les serveurs restent impeccables : accueillants, serviables & souriants.
Je ne sais pas si je reviendrai, tellement j'ai été déçu 😞…

J'ai commandé un fish & chips, mais dès le premier regard, la panure avait une couleur étrange. En goûtant, le poisson était sec, plein d'arêtes & totalement fade & froid au centre. Je le déconseille vivement. D'ailleurs, je ne l'n ai pas mangé.
We ordered fish & chips. Usually very good, this time the batter on the fish was very hard & the fish did not have much flavour. Also the fries were cold. Our others friends had trout, a monster burger & a tofu salad. All seemed to enjoy their food. We found as the tables filled up we could not hear each other or have a conversation without yelling.
Nous étions à Magog la fin de semaine du 19-20-21 Septembre 25 & nous sommes allés souper chez vous & on a été agréablement surpris de la bonne bouffe. Tout était délicieux.Du poulet portugais au fish & chips sans oublier les bons burgers LE BOSS qui étaient garnis à souhait.Tres grande terrasse & très bonne ambiance.
Je recommande cette microbrasserie .
PS Le personnel est très sympathique & le service très rapide!

La hotte de cuisine ne fonctionnait pas (pas d'hamberger), nous l'avons su lors de notre arrivée. Les fish & chips étaient trop cuits & aussi les dill frits.

Our first visit to this restaurant. I always noticed it is a very happening place with big line ups & full terraces. Must be good? It is not!
The food is not - everything else is alright. We were three people & ordered different items.
I had fish & chips (26$) - the fish was the standard, not impressive, frozen from a big box store type of fish & the fries were just equally just commercial potato fries. The type of bad meal I could but would not make make myself at home. My lunch companions ordered 1) hamburger (26$, yes I said 26 dollars!!) & declared it a mistake. 2) a veggieburger (24) & also didn't enjoy the plate.
Now aside from the quality of the food - it's a fun place. Great location on the river flowing out of lake Memphremagog in Magog on Merry street. Terrific terrace for people watching & getting rowdy. The interior has a rustic decor of grab a beer & then some more, lol. The beer is delicious . I believe mine was called Kateville. A glass for 12$.
I did see the attraction - big versatile menu, lots of twenty something dollar poutines & a fun ambience with great beer!
So go, keep it basic & enjoy the beer.
Good overall experience, repeat customers & we often pick this pub with our group when in Magog for a few days. Excellent service, good atmosphere & busy on weekends (how we like it), we always book ahead & never wait to be seated.
Good choice of beers with samplers available, varied pub-style menu, we like their soups, burgers, fish & chips, etc. Will return & recommend.
Typical pub...typical pub food. We ordered the American burger plate & the beer-battered fish & chips. All was well prepared & tasty. Service was just okay...utensils missing, we asked for ketchup...they brought an empty bottle. Table was sticky & dirty...the reviews were good, but in the end we weren't overly impressed.

I can see why there are so many positive reviews for this restaurant. Everything was excellent quality! The space is nice & clean, our waitress was inviting, & the food was prompt & delicious. The smoked meat poutine & fish & chips were particularly remarkable.
The fish & chips were excellent. The breading on the fish was so light & flavorful. Oktoberfest meal had generous portions & tasted great as well. Our server, Felicia checked on us & was very attentive & friendly. We had a table near the water, with a wonderful view.
We started our getaway with a bang. This restaurant was very good. The service was welcoming. I sampled their beers. Really good. Their burger was good too. My wife had the fish & chips. She enjoyed it too. I recommend it.

Nous étions en escapade en amoureux & avons testé le plat du jour soit la bavette ainsi que le fish & chips. Le tout était frais & très bon. Bien que nous y étions en période de fête, il y avait du monde & peu de serveur. Toutefois, la serveuse très souriante à été très à l'affût & à offert un très bon service. La microbrasserie est bien située & a du charme. Le menu de bières offre un panel intéressant pour les personnes qui veulent goûter à différentes sortes.
Great neighborhood pub with a nice vibe, & a nice selection of beer made on site...
We had Le fish & chips, & the Burger le Monstre. Pretty good, but could have been better.
Service was excellent.
