Be still my beer-nerd heart. Located on the main drag of…read moreHudson in a beautiful old white house, this spot is an absolute gem. My family and I were warmly greeted into Brasserie Bois Blanc by Martin, one of the owners and brewmasters- I knew things were starting off well from the get-go. After explaining the tasting flights to us and welcoming us, Martin met with another patron and sat down at one of the tasting room tables with a "Magic: The Gathering" deck and began to hang out in his own brewery. So rad. I had the IPA flight and was particularly enchanted with the common ale. The rest of my family was really into the imperial stout (tastes like a 9% cold brew!). A lot of the other patrons (mostly fellas of a wide range of ages) were also playing games at their tables, while of course enjoying pints of microbrew. It all makes me wish I lived closer- I wanna hang out here!

Great craft beers, brew master Martin took us on a mini tour of the brewery. If you love dark…read morestouts, I recommend the dark soul, and on a hot summer day, get the California ale. Defenatly worth a stop of you are in the Hudson area, especially after stopping at Finaggans flea market.

This review is for the Brasserie. I especially wanted to try this place to get my foie gras fix and…read moreit was really good! I only wish the foie gras and the bread were served warm. The bone marrow with snails was also good, but the combination was a little weird. I liked the bone marrow. I liked the snails. But served together took away from enjoying each part on its own. The duck was roasted to perfection. The skin was so crispy and the meat just fell off the bone. Same goes for the braised veal cheeks. There was no bone to fall off of, but the meat was so tender and just came apart as soon as I pressed down with my knife. I can't wait to come back to try the Salle à Manger since it's a different menu. Foie gras parfait 8/10 Bone marrow, Burgundy snails 8/10 Braised veal cheeks 9/10 Duck confit 9/10

La Diable is definitely a must if you are skiing or visiting Mt. Tremblant's resort area. See below…read morefor a few highlights! Happy Hour (a.k.a. Après-ski). If you are 30+ years old, this is the place to be! If you check out the P'tit Caribou and find that (1) it's way too crowded, (2) you can't even talk to the person beside you b/c it's so noisy, or (3) you are old enough to be a parent to most people in the bar, then walk down the path to La Diable. The bar area can be crowded, but it's manageable... and the bartenders are fantastic! As for food, I HIGHLY recommend the wings! I asked for sauce on the side during my last visit, but they are good either way. Other highlights include the ribs (a must) and the sausage platter! Everything is tasty, and portions of plentiful. Let me know if you make it over to La Diable and enjoy yourself! I'm pretty sure you'll love the libations, the atmosphere, and the staff.

We also had dessert, hello flan! All dishes were stand alone favorites! I think their menu changes but we had fois gras, spicy pork bites and lobster Mac and cheese, which came out bubbling! The lobster part was a cold lobster salad on bread and on top was grilled, bacon wrapped asparagus. Perfectly balanced. The wine and beer was also unique. I had orange white wine, which was delightful for summer! If you are visiting Ottawa, make the trip across the river for this gem! BTW- see photos for correct hours. They do not close at 7pm on Tuesday or I would not be writing this!

Bar Hymus is hardly visible. When my friends first invited me there, I thought they wanted me to go…read moreinside of the Couche-tard it's stuck to. It's hard to spot if you don't look for signs but it's well worth it. This isn't your typical bar. This is a friendly bar where mostly older and calmer people go to. This isn't Annie's or Pioneer where you always see a dumb kid from Abbott puke on a table or a girl, slutty girls dancing then trying to hook up with the next thing to them regardless of gender (not due to bisexuality but due to the % of alcohol in their blood), etc. As of mid-2014, this bar is now my go-to bar. I love it there. The food is very cheap and the beer is even cheaper. Sadly it still looks like a bingo bar from the 80's. There are no pool tables just slot machines and a TON of huge TVs EVERYWHERE making it a decent sports bar. Price: 6/5, cheapest beer I've seen in any bar in the West Island as a non-special event thing: 20.88$/4L pitcher after 9pm on weekends every week. Service: 6/5, I love the crew there. They're nice, polite but homey and friendly. The Bartender Alex is my new Bff. Set-up: 3/5 Pretty crappy to be honest. Still looks like a bingo bar and no pool tables. Only 1 bar available but the place is relatively small. Gave it extra points for the back parking. Food: 3.5/5, decent for the price. Nothing to die for but it's good food. The staff makes up for anything though. The manager is ultra-super-friendly, the bartender and waitresses are GENUINELY friendly, none of that "Fake Smile for a tip" stuff. Free WiFi (just ask for the password, it doesn't change), you can bring food from Dominos/Couche-tard/Tim Horton's. Be sure to ask the manager first if you're going to bring in Pizza since they do their own pizza). I don't think he'll truly mind due to his friendliness but I'd consider it proper conduct. Saturday evenings can get a little full so be careful about your timing. Otherwise it's pretty nice and calm.

The gravy is made with beer and gives the poutine a unique and pleasant tang. I will definitely be returning and planning more reunions with friends at this location!
