Don’t let the diner-like exterior fool you. Inside you’ll find a warm pub and restaurant which is actually much nicer for the eyes than the worn outside. The view is not really "on the water", but rather on the parking lot which looks on the water. Still, pretty nice when there aren’t many cars parked. They have 5 beers of their own on tap; if the Crusca old ale is there, it is truly a worthy chalice for the beer traveler. The food I had was very good too, a great cauliflower soup followed by a healthy chicken salad filled with citrus fruit. If you think it is surprising to find a brewpub in such a tiny, northern village, you might be even more surprised to find that its beer is actually more than decent.

Right near the water, the view is breathtaking, and the patio in front looked inviting but in late April it was a bit too soon for that, so we went inside. The place is split in two, the bar section to the right has a great pub feel to it, the non-smoking section to the left is a recent addition and seems more restaurant-like, but with a big window with a gorgeous view of the fjord.
We were there for lunch, food was quite good. I’ve been told that prices are a bit more steep for dinner, our plates were about 10$ and came with a great soup and nice dessert.
Service was friendly and quick, I even got introduced to the brewer who took a few minutes to give us a tour, his installations looked a little cramped but functionnal.
Beers were somewhat dissapointing, I had the pale ale and blueberry Beer, the former lacked character and the latter seemed a bit infected, but I guess those are the growing pains of a relatively new guy on the brewing scene. I would have tasted more, but in this region apparently they don’t believe in half pints, and I was driving. Too bad, they had an Irish and Old ale I would have liked to at least sample.
The place is worth the look if you’re in the area, the feel of the place is great but quality-wise so far not as good as la Voie Maltée two towns over.

OK - I finally found a place in Quebec with no service in English. Set beutifully next to what I’d call a fjord, but inside it was a bit taddy and worn, but functional. No imports as was announced outside, but still five of their own on tap. The food was overpriced and there was no geueze to go with the mussels, and the portion of fries was quite small.

Straightforward typical average brewpub selection. Oldish rustic building. Solid food all around, it is mainly a restaurant with the beers adding some fun. Expensive at that. Nice view outside, despite being on the wrong side of the street. Mapquest may give wrong directions btw. No english speaking staff.

Doesn’t look like much, but it’s a pleasant little place inside, bright and homey. The food was excellent - I had the merguez. The beers weren’t bad but not great either. Drinkable though. It is set across from a park where the bay sits. It was a solid experience and I’d like to return some day.

Outward diner appearance is deceptive. Inside is a charming and cozy little restaurant with a quirky, multi-roomed layout that nicely separates smokers from non. Downhome, country decor somehow remains tasteful. Large, bright terrasse outside with an expansive view across the bay if you can brave out the wind and/or cold. Service somewhat disinterested (and unilingual French). Food well-made and of good quality though definitely on the pricier side of the scale. House beers were well-made if not great. Import list if it does exist was never offered.
