A British-style pub. A proper restaurant. In Val-David.
Val-David's pub and restaurant, in the Laurentians. Short menu, food made on site, properly poured pints, private imports we actually like drinking. A riverside terrasse on the Rivière du Nord in summer. La Presse called it a pub of the highest order. We'll just keep doing simple and good, pouring the Guinness properly, and keeping a table for you.
“A pub of the highest order.”
“The art of a well-made classic.”
