Nice looking place, great location. L’ile D’orleans is beautiful. They have a great patio overlooking the Fleuve St’Laurent, its a spectacular view. The staff was very nice, and friendly. They had 5 of their own beers on tap, but no tasting trays. So I had their scotch ale, and my wife had their wit. Both were nice. I didnt have any food, but the place was packed so i assume it’s decent.

Nice terrace. All sampled I had were well made. Be sure to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful view. The service was friendly and fast. Close to Quebec city which is a major plus. The best place to drink near the historic town.

We were there on a very misty early winter day. Nevertheless, the view over the clouded St.Lawrence felt mystical. The beers were pleasant enough, 5 of them, not very adventurous, but their new Extra Stout was solid and a proof of their desire to go beyond the ordinary. Pleasant tavern where a fireplace would fit nicely. The crowd consists mostly of locals. Not particularly knowledgeable service, but more than happy to let us know about their new offering. Not hugely beer-focused, but probably more interesting than any of the surrounding cideries. All in all, a fine experience besides our difficulty to get out of the slidy parking lot!

Goldorak’s review pretty much says it all: great view from the terrace, nice enough wooden bar, very simple beer selection (although mine were all clean and drinkable), a friendly but not knowledgeable waitress, etc. Because the beers were decent, I’ll come back when I’m on Orleans Island, but I won’t be going out of my way for a pint here. They now bottle most of their beers, by the way. Amongst all the cideries, cassic liqueur makers, wineries, and other artisans on this island, this one doesn’t stand out much so far.

Établissement visité le vendredi 27 avril vers 14h30. Ambiance: Décoration intérieure en tuile et boiserie. Superbe terrasse donnant sur le fleuve. Musique downtempo lors de ma visite. Service: Très sympatique mais la personne ne connaissait pas vraiment les bières. Sélection: Lors de ma visite 4 fûts étaient en service. Nourriture: Petit menu sans artifice. J’ai pris un plat de croutons de brie au miel. (44e rating d’établissement)

The setting of the Pub is just perfect a nice view of the St-Laurence river. I was there in the summer so we were on the terrace.The service was go and the beer I had only one, but it was good and the owner was very pleasant to talk to. I look forward to going again next summer.

As you walk up the stairs and enter, you notice the very dark mahogany varnished tables and bar, and a red carpeted pool table gives a nice contrast. The real kicker here is the large patio that goes around half the second floor. The view of the river and fields all around is breathtaking. Crowd consisted of a few tourists and one or two local barflies. Simple pub fare like nachos and panini pressed sandwiches. Beer list had 4 choices listed as regular offerings, the very paint-by-numbers White, Blonde, Red and Amber. I asked the waitress if they had any seasonals, they had a fruity type Beer that I can’t recall, and a cream ale that I ended up ordering, but the way she explained it I thought it was a Stout. “It’s like Guinness” were her exact words. Oh well. She said this was only her second day on the job. The Wit that our traveling partner ordered was acidic, had zero head and had pretty obvious infection issues. My cream ale was passable at best. Pints were around 6$, a little steep considering how underwhelming they were. Unless it’s a case of a beginner brewmaster realizing that large scale brewing is a whole different ballgame, I guess I’ll have to chalk this place down as yet another brewpub that seems all sizzle and no steak, where décor and ambiance take center stage and Beer quality takes a back seat.

On ne peut pas la menquer, elle est juste à côté de l’église Sainte-Famille, de plus on a une belle vue du fleuve et de la Côte de Beaupré. De l’extérieur, elle a l’air d’une maison à deux étage blanche, mais à l’intérieur ça l’air un pub simple et chaleureux d’environ 50 places et un bar, aussi une bonne terrasse à l’arrière. J’étais chanceux le jour que je l’ai visité le mercredi juste passé 15h, car normalement le pub ouvre à 17h, mais le maître brasseur était là pour faire de l’ouvrage donc il a décidé d’ouvrire ça place plutôt.
