As we passed through a variety of tiny towns that were not much more than intersections we kept looking for something that was...open. Not fast food and...open. Did I mention it was somewhat early on a Sunday morning? Anyway we finally spotted this place...as we passed it. We turned around and came back to it with our hopes up..."Was it open? Was it? It was a restaurant right? Like a diner kind of place?" Well it was open and it was a diner kind of place. We were delighted and went right in. I used one of the few things I have learned to say in French aside from "thank you" and greetings...and asked if they spoke English. I got a smile and a finger held in the air (the polite finger, not the rude finger) and the employee disappeared for a moment, returning with the owner. He turned out to be a delight and between his passable English and our meager French we exchange some small talk and ordered our food. It was outstanding...eggs done perfectly. I cook a fair amount and one of the things people often underestimate is eggs. By underestimating I mean that eggs in their many varieties of preparation are not a simple food to execute really well. We were very happy to have found this place and the food was really good at very fair prices.

They also have a vast selection of Quebec beer and other International beer. Quite possibly one of the best choice + selection I have come across. It even rivals specialty beer shops I've visited in the Montreal area. It's not just beer though. There is a meat section, huge potato chip and junk food plus most everything you may be looking for (and then some) for a grocery store visit. If you are a foodie or beer snob then passing by it's well worth a stop in to visit. For kids they have roosters, turkeys and other birds that make some funny/slightly annoying (after a while) noises. So great place to bring the kids!!

My Bison burger was excellent and it was one of the best I tossed ever, there was also oka cheese wich puts even more flavor. Bonne microbrasserie, j'ai suivi le conseil de la serveuse et j'ai pris la bière blanche de Joliette qui est une excellente bière blanche. Mkn burger de bison fut in des meilleurs que j'ai mangé, de plus il y a fu fromage de Oka à l'intérieur ce qui ajoute de la saveur.

Pooh and I came here for lunch today after a morning of Christmas shopping…read more This place is quite popular. It's an older building that has been renovated for a restaurant but still has the rustic feel. I wasn't crazy about where we sat. It was across from a door that was used for people to leave to smoke, and in winter it was quite chilly on my back. In front of the door was a curtain but it was always open We started off with a beer from Joliette - a white brew that tasted like Belgium Moon I ordered the Chicken Nachos and Pooh ordered the Bacon Poutine. Chicken Nachos were delicious plus a perfect amount of sour cream and salsa. I ordered a small portion and it was smaller than I expected for the price. Pooh's Poutine was delicious too but for the price (small) he thought it would be bigger I'm taking one star off because our table was too close to the revolving door

It's not far from the river, and there's plenty of street parking. Smash burger and ribs were excellent. A Belgian wheat and double IPA were very good. But the hit was a chocolate pie made with their beer. A nice stop between Québec City and Montréal.
