About Microbrasserie de l'Île d'Orléans – Pub Le Mitan
The island's microbrewery brews its beers on site in Sainte-Famille, on chemin Royal about 17 kilometers from the bridge. Its pub, Le Mitan, stands next to the village's heritage church and is fitted out in wood and stone, in the spirit of an English pub with a rustic Quebec look.
The kitchen serves hearty bistro-brasserie food with a family-style Québécois bent, matched to a varied range of house beers. The best seats are on the covered terrace, which looks across the St. Lawrence to the Côte de Beaupré. A shop counter sells beers and products to take home, so you can carry a few bottles back from the island.
The winter schedule posted for 2026 had the pub open Thursday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday until 11 p.m., and Sunday until 9 p.m.; summer hours run longer, so check the current schedule before going. Cash, debit, Visa and Mastercard are accepted, and you can book or order through their website.
La Seigneurie de l'Île d'Orléans, a lavender estate, is about 15 minutes east in Saint-François. Plan the lavender in late afternoon and dinner on the terrace, or the reverse, with a designated driver for the island road.
