After spending a few days in Quebec City for the winter festival, we stopped in on our way back to…read morethe US. I'm a brewery hound so this was an easy pick close to the border. I'm not kidding when I say - and my traveling partners agree- this was the best food and drink we put in our mouths our entire trip! Get a fondue, a couple of apps, and a beer and enjoy a wonderful meal!! We even saved room for a maple dessert - also fantastic! Come and enjoy- you won't be disappointed!!

La Memphré bookended our trip to the Eastern Townships, being our first and last food stops in…read moreMagog. This popular brewery was definitely worth the revisit for their high quality food and drinks, with a major perk being that it is open everyday and doesn't close between mealtimes. The Tall Man and I came during semi-off hours, first for a late lunch and later for an afternoon snack/drink. They have a large outside deck with a great view of the lake, but we opted to sit in their cozy dining room both times. We visited with baby in tow, first with a stroller and once without. The accessible entrance was not very obvious (we noticed it only after our second visit) and it was covered in snow. There are several steps leading to the porch and main entrance. The host was gracious enough to find a table that could fit a stroller next to it, but that was made easier by our off-hours visit. The staff is very friendly and most are pretty fluent in both English and French. We ordered in French the first time around, but by our second trip our language skills and brains were a bit worn out, so we were thankful our server cheerfully switched to English. They all gave us great recommendations, and everything we had was quite tasty. Think elevated brewpub than bar food. Drinks-wise, the Tall Man equally enjoyed La Pointe Merry (IPA) and La Kilt (Scotch ale). I opted for their non-alcoholic options and was happy with my Quebec-made kombucha and gin and tonic mocktail. Both came in cans or bottles, and I ended up taking the rest of my kombucha to go. Instead of ordering full entrees, we opted for a spread of small plates. The cod bites (bouchées de morue) were excellent, crisply fried with soft, flaky fish inside and a killer dipping sauce. The kiddo is just starting to eat solid foods and quite enjoyed the fish. The onion rings (nounounes rings) were also a hit. We also enjoyed the duck drumlettes (pilons de canard) and the fries (frites). Note the fries are made French style and not crispy (as opposed to what's usually served in American restaurants ironically as "French" fries). We will definitely be back! I did eat gluten on this trip as a periodic treat, but am usually gluten free. They didn't seem to have too many GF options on their menu, but I would come back to try their entrees and see if I could make it work.

Our party of four came to this excellent restaurant for lunch on Canada Day (July 1st). The…read morerestaurant had an appealing sidewalk dining area set up with an awning, sculptures, and flowers (See photo). We walked into the restaurant for a look and the decor inside was beautiful as well. It was such pleasant weather that we elected to dine outdoors. Our server, Myriam, was friendly, personable, and attentive. She spoke English very well, and brought us English menus as well as French menus. I got the seafood crepe and my husband ordered the mushroom crepe, and we shared. Both crepes were fantastic! The melted cheeses were creamy and smooth, and the crepes themselves were the perfect texture--not too thin and not too thick. The entrees came with soup (I choose lentil soup) and a small mixed-greens salad with dressing. We both opted for raspberry vinaigrette, and enjoyed how light it was with just a touch of sweetness. The other two diners in our group both ate sausages and said they were superb! It was the kind of meal that had us all commenting "oh wow, this food is really really good!" the whole time we were eating. All four of us agreed that we highly recommend eating here!

Wonderful ambiance. Delicious seafood crepe for me and pizza and hamburger for my children…read more Presentation was outstanding. So was the service. Interesting wine selection. I heartily recommend this gem of a restaurant.

Let me cut to the chase: get the steak frites or anything else with the chimichurri. It's going to…read morechange your life and you can go ahead and thank me later. The poutine was very good, but I'll grant you that it's maybe hard to get that wrong - but their gravy is on point! Service was great - got there around 5:40pm on a Wednesday, so the wait was non-existent and a table for 5 was easy to accommodate. Duncan was the server, who disclosed that he was new but you wouldn't know it from how he took orders and brought food out. Even threw him a curve by asking for the steak frites with an additional side of brussel sprouts, which he handled no problem - even though there weren't any sides I saw on the menu. Steak was medium rare and perfectly seasoned, and I think I mentioned the chimichurri but it deserves additional mention. Maybe you're wondering about beverages. The maple lemonade is great - it leans harder on the tart side and there are sweeter options around (Cliff House) but I love a lemonade that tastes... lemony. Pineapple cherry punch was also a hit - but that's secondhand hearsay, unlike my direct opinion on the chimichurri - which I would drink if I could. Definitely check this place out. The table near ours seemed to immensely enjoy their meal and also get great service from Duncan.

We had a bit of a wait, but it was a Saturday night and we did not have to wait as long as they…read moresaid. They use the Yelp waitlist, but I couldn't join it until we showed up to the restaurant, which was a little confusing. We ended up sitting at the counter by the wood fire, which was neat to watch. Our server (Jenn) was awesome. My drink was very pricy ($18), but it was pretty tasty. Everything was absolutely delicious - we got a Mac & cheese and 2 burgers with fries. I love that it's all farm-to-table. Would absolutely eat here again and *highly* recommend it.
