| - We came here when we realized, after driving all the way to Chambly, that Unibroe did not offer tastings or tours. Our research showed that Fourquet Fourchette is like the unofficial Unibroe tasting room and I love waterfront dining so we were excited.
The interior is reminiscent of an old tavern and they have prints of all of the Unibroe beer labels framed and hung in the walls. The lake side wall is all windows and let in a lot of light. It was a very warm, relaxing setting for lunch.
We ordered Unibroe beer flights, French onion soup, and a big meat, cheese, and veggie platter. As soon as our food and drink came out, so did the flies... Tens of fruit flies buzzing around our meal the entire time we were there. I'm not sure if it was from unclean beer taps or food sitting out too long but it was totally disgusting and a major turn off for us. And there was not really anything we could do about it short of walking it so we tried to finish quickly so we could get out of there. The soup was good, the platter I would not recommend, warm and soggy.
Based on our overall experience I cannot recommend this place - if you are set on a Unibroe tasting you are better off buying an assortment of their beers, which are available everywhere in and around Montreal, and doing your own tasting!
