Latest reviews from Gatineau
| 68 /100 1015 RUE JACQUES-CARTIER “Visited on February 27, in the evening. Located near the confluence of the Ottawa and the Gatineau River, you can see Parliament Hill from the patio. The is a large public parking behind the pub, with a walking acces between the parking and the street were the pub is. The place is not handicap friendly, only the patio is accessible. The tap list has a good and interesting variety, most of them are available in cans to go, I had the saison (ok) and the West Coast IPA (good). The food menu is not your typical pub fair, more on the foody side, most of it are quite interesting (the brisket burger was good). The service was ok, he did forgot to give me some napkins and utensils. Despite its lack of accessibility, it does fill the void after a couple brewpubs that recently closed.“ |
| 80 /100 1015 RUE JACQUES-CARTIER “Beautiful place, did not try their menu but left with 8 different beers out of 15. Among others, a nice BBA, looking forward to try them.“ |
| 30 /100 SAQ Sélection - Gatineau / Boul. du Plateau (#23301) (Beer Store) 31, BOULEVARD DU PLATEAU “Not the nest location for beer selection. Try the Boulevard des carrière location instead or even better, try one of the local beer shop in town.“ |
| 68 /100 670, RUE AUGUSTE-MONDOUX (LOCAL 4/5) “This is my first visit since COVID. The brewery is located in an industrial sector off Pink Blvd. The taproom is integrated into the brewery; since COVID, its a bit smaller, with the long bar with chairs on one side and barrels in lieur of tables with no seating. The service was good, Beers are very well made overall, but it varies. 3 X 6 ounces for 12$. No food or snacks.“ |
| 72 /100 920, BD SAINT-JOSEPH “Small taproom with 14 seats located in an industrial Sector. 8 taps of beers, no flights, just full glasses, but generous tasters provided. Limited food menu, 4 sandwiches with salads. Beers are well made.“ |
| 88 /100 Broue Ha Ha (DBSQ) (Beer Store) 867, BOULEVARD SAINT-RENÉ OUEST “Stopped in to load up on DDC to take back home to the States. The fellow in the store was helpful great selection.“ |
| 82 /100 95, BOULEVARD DE LA TECHNOLOGIE LOCAL 114 “So hard to find, no signage on the street, you know it’s there, but where? Finally, made all the buildings in the techno park, found it. Very neat place, nice selection from this above average brewer.“ |
| 76 /100 95, BOULEVARD DE LA TECHNOLOGIE LOCAL 114 “A few pluses for this place is the location, in an industrial sector so plenty of parking, modern building with large taproom, not as busy as other location and different beer selection than de la Gappe. No kitchen but you can bring your own food (until they find a partner restaurant). Beers are top notch. Service is attentive. Negative is no taster sizes, only half pours (5 to 7$) but if you ask nicely, they may give you a taste.“ |
| 74 /100 Le Marché (Grocery Store) 50, RUE BÉGIN “Very small neighborhood market. Almost a quarter of the place is taken us in beer and a little bit of wine. There are three coolers, but most beers are on shelves. Good selection, as far as I can tell as a foreigner, including several different magnums. Prices seemed to be OK. Worth a look if you're in the area. Parking is no problem.“ |
| 78 /100 55 RUE PRINCIPALE “In a big old house not far from the marina. Street parking was hard to come by with lots of competition. Nice big outdoor area with lots of picnic tables mostly shaded by maple trees. Spoiled by out of control dueling dogs allowed on the tables and sick coughing toddlers. Small interior with a handful of restaurant tables and a serving bar, no table service. Small taplist and some cans, flights of four possible and beers were decent. Although they had food I only saw one guy with a charcuterie plate. Worth a look.“ |
| 82 /100 Broue Ha Ha (DBSQ) (Beer Store) 867, BOULEVARD SAINT-RENÉ OUEST “Smallish stripmall place with basically unlimited parking. Large selection organized by style. Staff were friendly and helpful. Prices were a bit high but acceptable. Nice selection of cheeses, meats and hot sauces to complement the beers. Solid place.“ |
| 78 /100 Dépanneur Rapido - Le Géant de la Bière (Beer Store) 43, RUE FRONT “Pretty big place, great selection. But they don't take credit cards and my American debit card doesn't work in Canada and I had no cash. So all I could do was window shop.“ |
| 84 /100 152, RUE PRINCIPALE “In what looks like an old house. Basically no parking within several blocks, with dozens of people cruising and making U-turns on a busy good-weather Saturday afternoon. Large outdoor space with a huge tent over picnic tables, some barrels and a small bench type bar. Inside had a long wrap around bar that was nearly empty when outside was full with a long line, as well as restaurant tables. Table service started strong then faded as they got busier and busier and busier. Almost everyone was eating, a testament to the tasty food. Large taplist with a whole bunch of bottles and cans. I didn't see any flights, but taster sizes were in the $3 range except for a whole bunch of Peche Mortel variants which were around $4. Solid place.“ |
| 88 /100 1015 RUE JACQUES-CARTIER “My favorite place on the Gatineau side so far. Beautiful location on the river; I saw an American flag across the river, but this place is far from the border; turned out to be the Chancery, itself on a pictureque road. But I digress. No street parking here, but turn one block before the brewpub for a free public lot, or two blocks after the brewery for a larger free gravel lot, both of which serve the local park. There is a nice terrace with picnic tables, then a long bar, and restaurant tables on two levels. Two ladies older than myself sat at the bar discussing the merits of Azacca versus Mosaic hops, so I knew I was in a special place. Six house taps were pretty creative and tasty, and then eight or so guest taps mostly saisons from around Quebec City. Food menu is small but creative - the sweet potato fries were the best I've ever had, flavorful, crisp and light, difficult to do. Service was friendly and efficient. Infants (multiple) were present and treated well, but I saw no dogs. A must-visit and a must-eat if you're anywhere near Ottawa.“ |
| 78 /100 455 BOULEVARD DE LA GAPPE “This is a small place in sort of a strip mall setting. Multiple parking lots, although they were fairly full on a Friday afternoon. No outdoor seating. Inside is an L-shaped serving bar walled off from the world by plexiglass, as well as scattered bar tables and restaurant tables in about a 50/50 mix. Table service was quick and efficient. NEIPAs dominated the taplist, although a collab hazy with Auval was one of the better ones I've had; there were also enough tasty stouts to keep me interested, plus a pastry sour (not for me). Tasters were 6 ounces for $5-8 so I stuck to the 12 ounces sizes except for the bigger BA stouts. Food was done by Clandestine and was pretty good, with a handful of veggie options. One infant was present but no dogs. Solid stop.“ |
| 70 /100 La Brûlerie - Café & Marché Santé (Grocery Store) 69 BOULEVARD SAINT-JOSEPH “My Airbnb was just down the street so this was a convenient stop for house roasted coffee and a good variety of cheeses. Beers are all in coolers at the back of the store, a small but reasonable selection of local stuff. Between this and Pain d'Alain a few doors down you can stock up on everything you need for a beer tasting or bottle share.“ |
| 76 /100 La Trappe à Fromage (Aylmer) (Grocery Store) 425 CHEMIN VANIER “My first Trappe, finally visiting one of these legendary cheese establishments, very dangerous for your cholesterol, nice craft beer selection, a must visit.“ |
| 66 /100 55 RUE PRINCIPALE “Lots of hype about this one, finally made a pit stop to see it, formerly L’autre œil ´s location, IPA galore, went for the stout, not much to carry out. Easy snack to eat on spot.“ |
| 70 /100 152, RUE PRINCIPALE “Waking distance from 5e Baron, this is a pretty great bar. They had 20 taps, almost all QC beers and all available in taster size pours for $3-4 or so. The taplist wasn’t sensational, having plenty of mediocre stuff on tap when I visited, but I managed to find a few interesting ones to taste. Service was haphazard and out to lunch, but friendly enough. If you’re in this area, this is a worthwhile stop, but if not, then check out the taplist before you come to make sure it’s worth it.“ |
| 80 /100 Dépanneur Rapido - Le Géant de la Bière (Beer Store) 43, RUE FRONT “Very close and walking distance from 5e Baron, this is a convenience store with a great craft beer selection in back. Mostly QC beers, and mostly unrefrigerated. Really impressive selection, especially as a visitor — so I’m unable to comment on how it compares to other spots in Gatineau. If I had checked bags, I could easily spend $300+ here. Debit or cash only here, which is super lame — what the hell is up with that? Definitely worth visiting if in the area and are looking for bottles to go.“ |
| 68 /100 55 RUE PRINCIPALE “If you don’t have a car, it’s a bit of a trek out here, but accessible enough via transit. Great spot, with lots of patio seating and an intimate interior. I sat inside and ordered at the bar. They had 6 beers on tap, with flights of 4 available for about $12-13 plus tax. Beer quality was pretty solid, with everything being dialled in well but nothing being exactly excellent. I ate there too, as they had a vegan sandwich; it was tasty but a tiny portion for the $12 price tag. Friendly service. Worth a stop if in the area, and maybe even if you’re not.“ |
| 72 /100 1015 RUE JACQUES-CARTIER “Gorgeous spot right on the Ottawa River and overlooking Rockcliffe Point on the Ottawa side, this is worth visiting just for the setting. The beer is decent too. They had 12 house beers on tap when I visited plus another 3 guest taps. All beers are available in 5 oz pours for $3.50-4.50 plus tax. Beer quality is decent at best, with most things competently brewed but nothing more. They had 3 imperial stouts (2 of them variants of the first), which were fairly underwhelming, but bonus points for the ambition. Extremely friendly service. Great stop for all reasons except the beer, which is passable.“ |
| 78 /100 455 BOULEVARD DE LA GAPPE “Not too far from the Gatineau centre and easily accessible by bus; you can even bus here directly from downtown Ottawa, or Uber for $20+. Small, intimate, modern tasting room with capacity for maybe 30-40… perhaps more during normal times. 9 beers on tap when I visited — almost all hazy IPAs. Everything is available in 6 oz pours but outrageously priced at $5-7 plus tax. Friendly, astute service. One of the best breweries in the greater Ottawa region and a mandatory stop when on this side of the river.“ |
| 78 /100 IGA Extra - Famille Charles (Gatineau) (Grocery Store) 455, BOULEVARD GREBER “One of the best selection in the Outaouais, for a supermarket. Get your Airmiles here. They got growlers from Prospecteur and other more exclusive offerings.“ |
| 78 /100 1015 RUE JACQUES-CARTIER “Another great brewpub in Outaouais. Located on the Ottawa River, with lovely views, this brewpub pffers solid offerings, some local guest taps, and a decent food menu, limited but good. Public parking 5 minutes from location, or just bike here.“ |
| 80 /100 55 RUE PRINCIPALE “Another classic int the Ottawa area. Located at the old L'Autre Oeil location, this brewery is solid, with good mix of hoppy, sour and dark...Limited food meniu with dleicous sanwiches and salads. Good service. A must when in the greater OG area.“ |
| 94 /100 Clandestin, Cuisine Créative (Restaurant) 45, RUE LAVAL “J’ai finalement pu aller visiter cette place emblématique à Hull, une sélection de bières uniques, Éric connaît ses bières. Menu limité, mais une place inévitable dans la région pour des bières hautes gammes.“ |
| 100 /100 152, RUE PRINCIPALE “Nouvelle adresse depuis 3 ans. Plus de fûts (60) plus de sélection...peut même ramener à la maison!“ |
| 100 /100 55 RUE PRINCIPALE “Amazing brewery in a very charming location. Probably the best beer NEIPA I've ever had.“ |
| 82 /100 Broue Ha Ha (DBSQ) (Beer Store) 867, BOULEVARD SAINT-RENÉ OUEST “Cool place I visited like five years ago and forgot to rate. A ton of beer here, and some great stuff from Quebec just across the provincial border in Ottawa. All contributes to one of the major reasons Ottawa bats out of its league as a beer town in some ways. Prices a little on the high side.“ |
| 70 /100 Métro Plus - Gréber (Gatineau) (Grocery Store) 499, BOUL. GRÉBER “On aime les Métros du Québec pour leur sélection de repas pré-préparé, ceci dit, je passais pour faire le plein chez Broue Ha Ha, et en repartant un peu d’épicerie aux IGA et ici. Avec ces trois places, on ramasse pas mal tout ce qui se fait de mieux comme bière au Québec.“ |
| 72 /100 IGA Extra - Famille St-Jacques (Gatineau) (Grocery Store) 720, MONTÉE PAIEMENT “Un peu d’épicerie après avoir été cherché quelques Chimay à la SAQ d’à côté. J’en ai profité pour ramasser quelques DDC Moralité, pour ma sélection d’étoiles pour les fêtes 2020.“ |
| 44 /100 SAQ Classique - Gatineau (#23234) (Beer Store) 710, MONTÉE PAIEMENT “J’y suis allé hier lors du Jour du Souvenir pour aller me chercher quelques Chimay rouge, qui feront partie de ma sélection de bières étoiles pour les fêtes 2020. Cette SAQ a une sélection extrêmement limitée, mais c’est bon de voir qu’ils ont quelques classiques.“ |
| 88 /100 455 BOULEVARD DE LA GAPPE “Petite microbrasserie, superbe choix de bières, toutes délicieuses. Service parfait, nourriture excellente et les enfants sont admis. J'y retourne assurément!“ |
| 64 /100 1015 RUE JACQUES-CARTIER “Gorgeous riverside location. Top floor of course for the best view. IPA and fruit sours most tasty. Mostly undrinkable beers.Noisy, crowded.“ |
| 68 /100 455 BOULEVARD DE LA GAPPE “Rather basic place. The beer is good however all stouts are tasting similar, and the IPAs a bit watery. One hit wonders.“ |
| 86 /100 1015 RUE JACQUES-CARTIER “This place is located right beside the river which offer a great view on Ottawa/Gatineau. Good beers, good food and fair prices. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Plenty of parking around. Definitely worth a stop when in the area.“ |
| 90 /100 455 BOULEVARD DE LA GAPPE “Small brewery located on a busy part of town with plenty of parking. Good selection of taps with some cans sometime offered to-go. Great service with fair prices. Food is great with an eclectic selection. A must-stop when in town.“ |
| 80 /100 1015 RUE JACQUES-CARTIER “Visité un mardi soir vers 18:00 heures. Ambiance agréable. Personnel attentionné et facile d'approche pour des questions sur les produits. Bonne qualité des bières sans être exceptionnelles. Nourriture tout à fait correcte et dans la norme pour ce genre d'endroit. Emplacement exceptionnel, surtout en été avec la terrasse sur le bord de la rivière.
A découvrir.“ |
| 90 /100 1015 RUE JACQUES-CARTIER “Great place with very friendly staff and great value for money. The beer is awesome. I was happy with the stake I ordered and they made sure to respect my food allergy. Make sure to check the great beer selection.

| 60 /100 IGA - Grenier Fortin (Masson-Angers) (Grocery Store) 112 RUE GEORGES “Passed by to see a friend of a friend who is helping me in my spirits education, stopped by and was able to get the latest Rodenbach Vintage. Not bad.“ |
| 90 /100 Clandestin, Cuisine Créative (Restaurant) 45, RUE LAVAL “Small restaurant located in the middle of downtown Gatineau. Food is quite good and this place would be highly rated on food only but they also have a small but killer list of draft and bottle beers. Price are reasonable considering the quality and scarcity of beers offering. Parking is easily available in the surrounding streets. The only issue is that the place is quiet small and you may need a reservation to get in.“ |
| 86 /100 455 BOULEVARD DE LA GAPPE “Very nice small space. Mix of bar, picnic tables and smaller tables. Service is decent but not outstanding. The selection on tap is outstanding and the beers are phenomenal. Unfortunately cans to go only appear on certain days so check Instagram before heading out if you’re looking for cans. Food is good, small portions.“ |
| 74 /100 670, RUE AUGUSTE-MONDOUX (LOCAL 4/5) “Brewery with a small bar, I believe 8 taps, 4 tables and large garage doors to enjoy the outdoors while sipping. Food to be served soon, owner aiming for next week. To get it fresh from the brewery, it’s great. Owner loves talking beer as well, he’s bilingual and friendly. $6 bottles (500ml). Worth the detour, go encourage him!“ |
| 80 /100 455 BOULEVARD DE LA GAPPE “Finally ended up there, went with family for a birthday, nice beer, nice food (simple), great time.“ |
| 82 /100 455 BOULEVARD DE LA GAPPE “Visited on March 5, 2019, before noon. Located on the very commercial section of Gatineau (a mall, bunch of stores and restaurants, etc.), inside a shared building with other business. There is parking, but it is a bit of a premium, although you can always take public transit. Definitely smaller than BDT and Gainsbourg in Hull, of course they are more the restaurant type, still a nice setup. One section with small tables for two and the other for groups. Not a big food menu, but quite interesting. The big hot dog smell good, but I went for the pan chicken with kimchi sauce, very nice. The tap menu was also small but good variety, although there was two variation of the Hypa IPA, but I went for the Double call Tiberius (Roman emperor), very solid, but so are the two others I had last January in cans. However, the store selection is kind of thin, only three kinds for sale that day, but then again they don't have the capacity like the two others. In all, a very good addition the Capital region beer scene!“ |
| 82 /100 455 BOULEVARD DE LA GAPPE “A solid portfolio of new age IPAs. Very solid brewing and lots of imagination and ambition in their brewing projects. Location is urban strip mall, but the interior is comfortable and has a solid understated style.“ |
| 78 /100 IGA Extra - Famille Charles (Gatineau) (Grocery Store) 455, BOULEVARD GREBER “Suggestion from a colleague of mine, went for grocery shopping as well as discovering a great place for rare beers in the Gatineau.“ |
| 82 /100 455 BOULEVARD DE LA GAPPE “Visité un samedi après-midi de septembre. Endroit presque bondé même à cette heure. Décor typique des nouvelles microbrasserie: ouvert, larges tables, mélange moderne et rustique. Près d'une douzaine de bières dispo en fûts et canettes du moment pour emporter (3 quand j'y était). On a fait la gaffe d'aller manger de la déception au Mike's pas loin pour se rendre compte en arrivant qu'un service de bouffe était disponible sur place et avait l'air délicieux. On a eu droit à un 5 onces gratuit car j'ai dû me lever pour aller commander au bar et cela semblait inacceptable! Seul bémol, les prix des canettes à emporter. 6$ plus taxes pour des 473ml. Je sais que c'est délectable mais quand tu es à quelques km d'une province qui offre le même format à moins de 4$, c'est un peu frustrant.“ |
| 92 /100 Clandestin, Cuisine Créative (Restaurant) 45, RUE LAVAL “Petit resto original et décadent, autant au niveau de la bouffe qui est toujours de grande qualité, originale, gouteuse et réconfortante qu'au niveau de la bière: 3 bières en fût, souvent parmis les meilleures au Québec et la plupart du temps non-disponible dans la région. Assez grande sélection de lambic belges et d'autres breuvages tels que des vins natures. À visiter les yeux fermés.“ |
