One of 30 finalists across the country.
In September 2026, Air Canada named us one of 30 finalists for its Best New Restaurants 2026, chosen from more than 90 nominations across the country. The Top 10 is announced in November 2026.
“A pub of the highest order.”
Montreal's main daily ran a long feature on us in February 2026. For the kitchen, the inn, and the idea of doing all of this as a family in Val-David.
“MacTaverne's scotch egg is worth the trip on its own.”
For her May 2026 feature on Quebec's growing appetite for British cooking, food critic Ève Dumas put us in good company. The scotch egg, the fish and chips, and the maple sticky toffee each got their portrait, next to Mike's words on pub food that's alive and seasonal.
“This address has everything to draw people all the way from Québec City.”
Le Journal de Montréal named us one of seven addresses across Québec, in April 2026. Half country inn with seven rooms, half English-accented pub, the ideal stop after a hike, for a pint and a meal.
“The art of a well-made classic in the Laurentians.”
