White Horse Café Bistro draws praise for its warm, cozy ambiance, wood fire, charming rustic decor, and attentive, friendly service that makes many guests feel at home; the menu features well executed dishes ranging from seafood and duck rillette to salmon and beignets, with brunch and breakfast options that many describe as delicious and the shared plates and local house-made items a highlight; guests frequently remark on stellar brunch experiences, recommendations from staff, and a welcoming atmosphere, occasionally complemented by patio seating and a view; however, several reviews flag small portions for the price and some inconsistencies in kitchen execution, including undercooked sausages or overcooked items, variable portion sizes, and prices that can feel steep for wine or certain dishes; still, the overall sentiment is that White Horse Café Bistro is a charming, must-visit spot with a noteworthy ambiance and memorable meals that draw guests back for a second visit or more.
Just an easy lunch with friends. We were three people & it was our first visit to this restaurant but certainly not our last. A wonderful menu accommodating each of us, a meat lover, a vegetarian & a foodie. We really enjoyed our plates. A delicious vegetarian meal size minestrone soup served with the most delicious thin, toasted & heavily buttered sourdough bread. Also a thick beef sandwich with bbq mayo, onions caramélisée also in their wonderful sourdough bread, accompanied by a small serving of the daily soup - a butternut squash & apple purée. Y.U.M. The ambiance is super casual with an equestrian motif throughout, a roaring fireplace just far enough from the tables & the tables separated enough for privacy. The wait staff yesterday, a Thursday lunch, was the owner himself, a young guy, very personable & attentive. Can't wait to go experience their breakfasts & dinners!
Première visite & très agréablement surpris! Nous avons beaucoup aimé. Cuisine raffinée tout en restant simple. Ambiance très cosy & le personnel est super gentil. Une très belle place pour partager un bon moment en gâtant son palais!

Great place if you are looking for more refined cooking. Not cheap, but high quality of ingredients & interesting tastes, not your average bistro food that is so prevalent in other restaurants. Since it is not convenience food that just needs heating the preparation needs a bit longer, don't expect fast food. Certainly an asset to the Magog dining scene!
We enjoyed an excellent lunch here recently. The pork & tofu sandwiches were both delicious, as was the included leek soup. The setting is lovely, & our server Marc Anthony (the owner) was gracious & friendly. He gave us some great advice on travel to Scotland! We were only in Magog a few days but wished it were longer, as we loved the town & this restaurant.
Wow! Super belle découverte! Le personnel est très accommodant, serviable & gentil. C'est un must où s'arrêter & prendre le temps de savourer un breuvage autour du feu extérieur. Bravo!
We had breakfast at the White Horse twice while visiting from Ottawa with my parents, & we left thoroughly satisfied both times. Everything we ate (the egg/BLT breakfast sandwich, the waffles, & the gravlax bagel) was fantastic. We also liked that the menu includes some simpler options like a bagel with cream cheese & toast with jam--great options for my mom, who doesn't have a huge appetite. Boosting this café's appeal is the lovely equestrian-themed decor (which includes a wood-burning fireplace) & the warm, friendly service. This was our first time in beautiful Magog, but we'll be back & we'll be eating at The White Horse again!
