| - My friend was visiting me from NYS and we are both huge Unibroue beer fans, so a trip to Chambly before heading to Montreal was in order.
We found out upon arrival that Unibroue does not have a tasting room open to the public on site (I should have read the Yelp reviews first-ROOKIE MISTAKE), but they kindly recommended we head over to this lovely establishment that does their tastings and even cooks with their beers!
When we arrived, we were greeted but the beautiful illustrations of the different Quebecois folklore legends that are depicted on the beer labels. It was like we have arrived in Unibroue Heaven.
The restaurant overlooks the gardens and the bay. Deep mahogany colored wood and a large bar area as well as a full seating area below and above, make this a really attractive multi-purpose eating establishment.
Their menu includes a luncheon prix fixe option, which offered a delightful array of dishes for $14-18CA including an all-you-can-eat salad and soup bar, fresh bread and rolls, main dish, and dessert with coffee. Um, oui, s'il vous plaît!
I chose the Onglet de buf, sauce aux poivres et Trois-Pistoles, which was a tender piece beef in a peppercorn and Trois-Pistoles infused beer sauce. Delicious. My friend ordered the Poulet au sauce sage, a tender and moist chicken dish with a sage gravy. Equally tasty. Each dish came with potatoes and veggies. The veggies were the typical steamed kind, so nothing to write about.
I also chose to do the Unibroue beer sampler which allowed me to try the beers I had yet to try. I ended up sharing some of the generous pours with my dining companion, as the alcohol content is pretty high on my favorites and I didn't want to nap the day away in a blissful, drunken slumber.
I will definitely be returning here and bringing loads of beer lovers with me.
