Since the first breweries, which appeared somewhere in the 18th century in Europe, their concept has evolved greatly. Today's breweries still offer beer, but it is no longer made on site like in the past. In Quebec, we love brasseries especially for their generous menu. But do you know where the best menus of these brasseries are?

You should know that, as its name suggests, the main reason for the brewery was to manufacture beers. Then, due to great demand from workers located very close to these breweries, meals began to be served.

A certain revolution in the world of beer subsequently took place and larger factories had to be built to ensure greater production and distribution.

The breweries therefore adapted and continued to offer their menu.

On our side of the Atlantic, brasseries as we know them now offer an alternative to pizzeria menus or menus for delivery from other restaurants in Quebec.

Unlike restaurants, brasseries offer a menu somewhere between a gourmet menu and a fast food menu, mainly offering grilled meats and seafood and having a bar area. The atmosphere is festive, the tables are close together and several groups of people meet there.

Here are our Quebec suggestions for discovering the menus of local brasseries: 

1- Brasserie Fleurimont

This is the most popular brewery in Sherbrooke, the one whose fame has spread around the city, and even more, for over 40 years.

The modern and relaxed atmosphere goes hand in hand with the brasserie-style menu offered: grills and seafood, where the quality of the ingredients is at the heart of every decision.

First enjoy the signature cocktails as an aperitif and take the time to taste, as a starter, the crispy shrimp or pieces of bang bang chicken. Bang bang is a homemade red pepper sauce. Or, their flowered onion, a 20 ounce onion, hot flowered, fried and coated in Cajun breading, served with their homemade dip.

For the main meal, the most classic options are available: fish and chips, shrimp, langoustines, lobster tail, filet mignon, roast beef au jus and even chicken skewers.

And all at an affordable price and with impeccable service.
