Reviews of L'Autochtone - Taverne Américaine (Winery)

Morgan Johanson

After hearing outstanding reviews from everyone in our area about the new restaurant that opened up in the town over I had to try it for myself to see if it lived up to the hype and it sure did. From the atmosphere to the food and drinks everything that we tried was outstanding. Fancy cocktails and (mock-tails), great wine, awesome burgers and mouth watering fish tacos this restaurant provides a whole new menu and dining experience for friends and families in our Little Northern communities. We will definitely be back!

We are so lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber in the Temiskaming region. The staff are loving what they’re doing which makes for a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The owner, Gerry Brandon, has been in the industry for quite some time and his expertise is evident from stunning design and the incredible food. If the prices seem high to you, that’s because you’ve never had a true fine dining experience before - the quality of this restaurant meets and exceeds that of some of the finest in major cities, and so it’s prices are comparable and even competitive. Considering what you’re getting, it’s a bargain! If you’re in the area, it’s easily the best choice for dinner. I will definitely be a regular patron at L’Autochtone.

Dr. Daniel Subbotin

Great food and great staff. I've been here a few times with family and friends. Looking forward to patio season whenever summer rolls around. Thank you very much for making the menu interesting and cocktails just the right way. Cheers!

Carin Griffin

Extremely friendly staff. Owner came and checked on us during our visit. Slightly pricey. But worth it. Washrooms were very well decorated as well.

Peter Taylor

There is great food and great service here, with a menu that you won't see anywhere else. Amazing atmosphere that truly is a touch above the rest.

Andreas Kaiser

Fabulous! Great experience, atmosphere and amazing service. Very friendly and great menu

AVOID... Very overpriced $25 hamburger with expensive drinks. I left a 15% tip and upon leaving was confronted by the cook quite literally demanding more tips... 30% tip is what he said should be left! As a resident of Haileybury I recommend avoiding this establishemnt because he insults customers!

Stephanie de Montigny

They staff was so kind to us and they catered to our toddler’s requests with gusto (there were no high chairs)—she very much appreciated the extra raspberry, the refills of water, and the opportunity to use a big kid fork for her non-dairy options. We all enjoyed the food which was well prepared and super tasty. The appetizer portions were perfect for kiddo and enjoying a few different options for myself—and the deserts were delicious (yes plural, yumm!). Hubby enjoyed his burger and beer after a long drive, and loved the lemon mayo dip for his fries (so did I!).

Mhat Briehl

I absolutely LOVE this restaurant. The food is always cooked to perfection and perfectly seasoned. The restaurant’s interior is aesthetically pleasing and the washrooms are artistically designed with gender inclusion in mind. The Employees never stop moving. They are always making sure their customers are being taken care of, and ensuring food is brought out as soon as it is plated. Everyone has always been welcoming and friendly to myself and my companions. I highly appreciate that they make everything from scratch and have many options available for people who can’t have gluten. They have a fancy alcoholic drink menu and outdoor seating during warmer months. I recommend this restaurant to everybody!!

Edil Garcia

Marie-Eve Bougie

(Translated) We were charmed by the service! The starters, the meals as well as the desserts were simply delicious! The portions are perfect! They also have a great wine and drink menu. The terrace and its small urban side transport us elsewhere. Inside the restaurant, just a big wow !!! We are going to go back, we still have so many dishes to try! (Original) Nous avons été charmé par le service ! Les entrées, les repas ainsi que les desserts étaient tout simplement délicieux ! Les portions sont parfaites ! Ils ont également une belle carte pour les vins et les drinks. La terrasse et son petit côté urbain nous transporte ailleurs. L'intérieur du resto, juste un gros wow !!! Nous allons y retourner, il nous reste tant de plats à essayer !

Jeremie Gerhardt

(Translated) Very warm welcome, delicious cocktail and very good rabbit risotto. Coming alone I quickly got the place, but I recommend booking as the establishment is popular. (Original) Accueil très chaleureux, délicieux cocktail et très bon risotto au lapin. Venant seul j'ai eu rapidement la place, mais je recommande de réserver tant l'établissement est populaire.

Avril Dureault

Very nicely composed dishes. Cocktails were delightful. And the cheese plate was a delicious variety of cheeses and accompaniments.

Shane Turnbull

What a true hidden gem in the North! Absolutley fantastic food, service, and decor. The staff were so very friendly and the owner chatted with my buddy and I for at least 20mins. I was there on a fishing trip in August and will be back in July! We booked at the same hotel just so we could go to L'Autochtone again. Can't wait.

Patrick Breault

Amazing atmosphere, food and staff. Great to see it open and busy as it should be.

George Myles

The cook just came up to our table and lectured us about his new restaurant. Food was alright but way OVERPRICED. The cramped storefront and long wait times don't make this an inviting space.

Jennifer Schnakenberg

The restaurant itself is beautifully done, the food is amazing and the staff and owners are wonderful and super friendly, little bit of the big city in a small northern town

Theodore Heroux

Food is amazing, staff is very friendly, great ambiance

Amazing! Amazing!

Matas Remeikis

Small, upscale restaurant. Superb food, attentive staff, and top-shelf booze. I really enjoy this place. I've eaten here three days in a row and thoroughly enjoyed every dish I've tried. Try the wendigo eggs. Massive steaks, be forewarned.

Lee James Mathers

Nice place to have a quality upscale meal at a reasonable price. Service is excellent, food is exceptional. Not to mention they make some great cocktails if that's your thing.

Matt Halliday

I Love it, incredible atmosphere and each detail is well thought out and designed. The moss wall, the art and style is really refreshing to see. The drinks are excellent and the duck on "the poutine" is scrumptious. I have been twice and I will be back many more times.

Jessica Schnakenberg

Hands down one of the best meals of my life. It was flavourful and filling. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Delee Danchuk

Jeff B

Amazing food, try the brownie dessert

Rebekah Thornborrow

We were staying at an air bnb in the area and were told to try this place for dinner. Man, was it ever worth it! The service was great, the drinks were delicious and the food was better than both! My husband had the brisket, which he is still raving over and I had THE Poutine, which was amazing. I almost wish I had not eaten the whole thing so I could have more later... almost. I had the special whiskey sour cocktail which I highly reccomend if you are a sour fan! There is of course always dessert, i can't remember exactly what it was called... but it was also worth it. The portion sizes were more than enough, the ambiance was lovely and again, the service was so good. Shout out to that busboy who was on pointe all night, we see you!

John Bissonette

Would recommend 100%!

Julia SG

Went here twice and the shining star was the burger. Delicious flavourful burger and crispy French fries cooked to perfection. Their fry bread was also very tasty. However the rest of the meals were unfortunately a miss. Salad was a bit underwhelming for 14$. Seasonal veggies weren’t cooked enough. Fish was tough and watery. However ambience was beautiful and cocktails were very fun!

Robyn C

really nice staff. They even brought water out to our dog while we were eating.

Mark Lavallee

The best burger in the north. Amazing home made food. Nothing frozen everything from scratch. Perfect cocktails and amazing dessert. Highly recommend.

Renee Willmott

Awesome place! Great food, decor, vibe and the best cocktails!!

Lester Munoz

Just had dinner there tonight and thought it was wonderful to see a restaurant like this in a smaller community. Loved the decor! I had the burger and it was unlike anything I've evet had before.
