Minton

we are SPOILED to have this little gem so close to us ... we absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the townships - it's worth the trip !!

Super service et très bon!

Meilleur restaurant dans les Cantons-de-l'Est. Nous avons été incroyablement surpris de la qualité et du service du restaurant. Le restaurant nous a été recommandé par l'un de nos amis, et nous le recommandons à tous les amateurs d'expériences gastronomiques. 12/10 !

everyone should experience this restaurant ... and I say "experience it" because it is an experience.
the food is out of this world (the 61 degree egg!!!)
I never give reviews, but felt I had to for this place, it's THAT good!
if you're in the Eastern Townships ... GO TO MINTON!!
(and for the record, I'm not a relative or friend of the owner, just someone who appreciates what these guys are doing :)

Très bon repas original et bien apprêté. excellent service!

Bel accueil et grand professionnalisme!

Superbe expérience de restauration. Nourriture excellente. Service sans faute.

Recomended by our b&b in Sherbrooke

superb is every way. Creative presentation, absolutely delicious food served by chef Simon who was enthusiastic and explained about the construction and ingredients.
Comfortable and nicely paced. Learned so much about certain ingredients. He showed us his kitchen that was neat, impressive equipment and quality.
i would go back to Minton for sure. A gem. Have dined at Michelin restaurants and this is probably better than any of them. Not pretentious, genuine everything!
No corkage.

A little rough around the edges but for a new restaurant very well done. The food was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend!

Definitely one of the best farm to table experiences I've had. The place in cozy and service is excellent. Chef Simon's amazing talent was showcased in every dish that was served....with ingredients locally grown and sourced. All the flavours blended very well in the entire meal and perfectly balanced. Highly recommend if you are in the region and you will not be disappointed. Will certainly be going back.

Amazing night out! The food and Chef were at a very high level. Our hobby is to seek the best Chefs in the province and Montreal. This was well worth the drive.... Everything was local including our bubbly to starts things off. The Chef' even went to the mountain to pick our mushrooms that morning. Every thing was haute cuisine and a super night indeed. Merci to the Chef' and his team.

Excellent restaurant, nourriture plus que parfaite et le serveur/chef était très sympathique. J'ai adoré ma soirée!

Un des plus beaux trésors au Québec
De la mise en bouche à la mignardise à la fin, tout était 5 étoiles.
Bravo!

Menu et cuisine d’exception, ingrédients locaux apprêtés avec soin et créativité. Accueil et service hors pair du chef propriétaire. Absolument à découvrir et re-découvrir.

Exceptional menu and food, prepared with local ingredients with much care and creativity - lovely farm-to-kitchen philosophy. The service was warm and welcoming by owner-and-chef Simon. A « must » to discover and re-discover in the area!

Le chef, Simon Proulx, offre une cuisine raffinée et subtile qui met à l’honneur les produits locaux. Quel régal pour la bouche et quelle beauté pour les yeux. Une table gastronomique incontournable dans l’Estrie. A découvrir et revisiter.

Très bon resto
Propriétaire fier de son resto
Qualité des assiettes sublime

Excellent service. Repas sublime. Une expérience à répéter bientôt!

The food and inactive service was amazing. To have direct contact with the chef, and him explaining in detail how he prepared the meal was incredible... We can’t wait to return ....

This is probably one of the best place to have a Tasting menu. The chief is so inventive and mixes up different ingredient that you would not thing go together but it works. The four of us had an epicurian delight

Tout simplement éblouissant ... Simon a un don certain , très belle découverte et généreux de son savoir

Excellent meals prepared with local products according to the chef’s inspiration. I highly recommend.

(Le francais suit) We enjoyed our dinner at the Minton very much, and it was worth the trip from Orford. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the region. The owner and chef, who also served us, clearly loves his profession and is very knowledgeable about locally sourced ingredients. He was happy to answer all of our questions, and to suggest artisanal places to visit.

Nous avons apprécié un délicieux repas qui valait le voyage d'Orford, et nous recommandons vivement ce restaurant à tous ceux qui visitent la région. Le chef, qui nous a également servi, aime évidemment son métier et connaît très bien les aliments locaux. Il était très heureux de répondre à toutes nos questions et de recommander des lieux artisanaux à visiter dans la région.

Superbe repas et service très attentionné et sympathique!

What a treat! The atmosphere, the service, and the food were all outstanding. Simon, the owner and chef, was so welcoming and personable and made us feel right at home. Can’t wait to return.

We could not have asked for a better meal or better service !!! We will not forget them !

Une expérience culinaire tout a fait unique. Le secret le mieux garder de la région.

Understated excellence in every respect.

My wife and I were referred to Minton over dinner last night by strangers seated next to us. We feel so lucky and grateful to have dined here this evening.

Chef Simon cares deeply about his craft. It is plain to see that he is financially and emotionally fully invested in this restaurant. The exterior of the house is charming and the interior has been refinished to casual elegance.

The service (this evening offered by Simon and his father) is pitch perfect; unpretentious, but informative and proud without a hint of snobbery.

And the food is fresh, beautifully prepared, and presented artfully. The menu may change up to three times weekly. A walk in couple was declined, because Simon procures the ingredients necessary to serve his patrons on the day of the meal.

Reserve, and enjoy a magnificent experience from arrival to reluctant departure.

A Fantastic meal. The flavor combinations were extraordinary. I had been to several Michelin Star Resturants when I was in the UK last month and Minton is in that caliber. This is a dining experience not to be missed.
Simon is a Chef, Chemist and all around Food wizard. Pierre’s service was outstanding as well.
If your a foodie you MUST experience Simon’s food.
Hopefully the will have the Egg dish the most unique creation I’ve had in a long time.

Super passionate and talented chef/ owner/server. We ate a at manoir hovey the night before and this was far better. Local ingredients treated with the utmost respect. Book your table now!

Amazing food and personal service by the owner, we had a wonderful evening. Planning to go back as often as we can.

Wonderful restaurant in the Eastern Townships.
The food is outstanding! The service was impeccable. We were a group of five and everyone was blown away by the food. Not one plate was empty. Simon, the chef and owner, was incredibly friendly. He is such a talented chef and a wonderful host as well.
Great experience. Cannot wait to come back!

Excellent souper. Belle mise en valeur des produits d’ici , tout simplement délicieux!

Une expérience culinaire de grande qualité. Un service efficace, empreint de gentillesse. Des plats réfléchis, délicats et fort goûteux. Un incontournable dans la région...

Superbe découverte! Nous y sommes allé pour le brunch un dimanche. Nous étions les seuls dans le restaurant (deux autres tables venaient de partir), et avons pu discuter ingrédients, clientèle, saveurs, etc. avec le très sympathique Simon, qui dégage une passion pour son métier et pour les producteurs locaux. La tartelette à la fleur d'ail était non seulement belle à voir, elle était simplement délicieuse, mêlant textures et goût avec habileté. Les œufs en plat principal étaient cuits à la perfection; on était loin de la douzaine d'œufs commerciale disponible en grande surface. Pour le dessert, nous avons opté pour le cheesecake, d'une légèreté soyeuse, accompagné d'une crème fouettée faite à base de crème de vaches Jersey. Divin. Nous y retournerons sans aucun doute, pour découvrir le menu du soir. Adresse incontournable dans les Cantons.

Excellent service et excellente nourriture
Très belle expérience culinaire

We visited on a quiet Thursday evening and were one of two couples dining...that's all. However we felt involved, respected, and the dining room had a lovely warm ambiance so one didn't feel that you were left sitting for hours.

Where to start well....Simon the chef/owner took time to explain to a couple of Vermont based Brits what/when/why and how...and then he produced a terrific supper. He cares, he's got a style of presentation that's been honed in larger operations, BUT he can now individually bring clients along for the ride.

It could bo so up it's own posterior....but it is NOT!

His sous vide egg dish starts the proceeding off and then we had a brilliant selection of dishes. pointless really to say what as everything is seasonal and cooked fresh.

All we know is that for $69.00 pp a four course delight was produced and we felt VERY HAPPY!

Simple really.....

So don't hesitate to book..

An exceptional food experience from the chef to presentation and ingredients from local producers. This will remain our top food memory for some time

Un merveilleux moment et un souper de qualité préparé avec soin par un Chef passionné.
Nous avons apprécié les produits frais locaux de saison et le service attentionné, merci pour cette belle expérience.

Très belle découverte! Expérience très agréable à tous points de vue.
