The Microbrew culture in Sherbrooke is going strong and Siboire is one of the best! I had been…read morethere before for beer but last night was the first time I went there for food. It's located in the old Canadian National Railway station that still partially serves as the Intercity Bus station. Parking is no problem, there is free parking for Siboire customers between 4 PM and 4 AM while the parking garage next door is avaiable during the day.
First, the most important, is the Beer. I had 3 pints, one of their Oatmeal Stout, which was excellent, nice and rich but not too heavy and flavourful. Not quite as good as St. Ambroise's Oatmeal Stout because it is a bit too watery, but still great. Then I had a pint of Calvaire, which is their signature Pale Ale. It is a great pale ale that has a good hoppy bite. Finally I had the Ingenieuse, which is an Irish Red ale that is fairly sweet for a Red but still very tasty.
The Food was very good, I had fish and chips that was very good. You get to choose the kind of fish you want and get 3 pieces plus fries and coleslaw for $15.00. The fissh was nice and moist and the batter good, blus the fries and coleslaw were excellent (some of the best slaw I have had). Definitely worth the money. The Service was also excellent, the waitress was attentive and very friendly. This is one of my favourite places in Sherbrooke and I hate saying this but it is actually a better pub with better beer than my beloved Golden Lion in Lennoxville. I apologize to all my fellow Bishop's Grads for saying that but it is true.
