Stopped by at Cartrites a few days ago on a quiet weekday afternoon and ended up staying way longer than planned just to get a few decent shots of the light coming through the windows. The seared scallops were the highlight of the meal, cooked perfectly and plated in a way that made my phone camera actually look good for once. Our server noticed me fussing with angles for a photo and offered to dim the overhead light near our table a bit, which was a genuinely thoughtful touch. Parking right out front made the whole visit easy, and I'll definitely be back with my actual camera next time.

I was wandering around Shawville a few days ago with my camera and ducked into Cartrites for lunch, and I'm so glad I did. The light coming through the front windows around early afternoon made the dining room look amazing, honestly perfect for a few candid shots between courses. The server noticed me fumbling with my lens and offered to grab a quieter table near the back without me even asking. Their maple glazed salmon was the best thing I've eaten in months, and I'll definitely be back with my camera next time I'm in town.

We stopped by Cartrites a few days ago with our two kids for an early dinner around 5:30 and were seated right away, which never happens with a family our size. The server was patient with our youngest changing his order twice and even brought crayons without us asking. The kids' mac and cheese was a hit and my wife raved about the salmon, plus the patio had enough space for the stroller without us feeling like we were in the way. Quick, easy parking out front made the whole visit low stress, and we'll definitely be back.

Nothing to write home about. But staff and food options are solid for a breakfast place

This place was such a pleasant surprise! Cute, clean, friendly and attentive wait staff. Food was really good! My discerning partner said it was once of the best clubs he ever had and the Caesar salad was great. Awesome poutine with dark beef gravy 👌

Lots of variety on the menu, big portions, very tasty comfort food. Not licensed, would have enjoyed a beer with my lunch but no worries, loved my visit there. Service was great.

Stopped in last Saturday afternoon while driving through Shawville from Ontario and ended up staying way longer than planned. The poutine was honestly some of the best I've had outside of Quebec, with just the right amount of gravy and fresh curds that actually squeaked. Our server was super friendly and gave us a few tips on other spots in the area, which made the whole stop feel really welcoming. Definitely worth pulling off the highway for if you're passing through the Pontiac region.

Nice tasty breakfast. Our server was very friendly and attentive. One note, they seemed to have changed their bread and our toast pieces were quite small.

Thank you very much for the nice review. We haven’t changed bread but sometimes yes the bread seems smaller. Sorry about this.

Had dinner at Cartrites and WOW. We tried the Bonanza Burger with poutine and the Buffalo Chicken Poutine and both were absolutely delicious. Everything was LOADED with toppings and portions were huge, but somehow the prices were still incredibly wallet friendly. You could tell the kitchen staff were working up a storm cutting fresh fries and keeping everything moving. The staff were polite, attentive, and made the whole experience feel welcoming from the moment we walked in. Even the placemats saying “Bienvenue / Welcome” matched the atmosphere perfectly because that’s exactly how it felt. With a large menu, colouring for kids, and even a TV near the bar, it really felt like a place that accommodates everyone. Honestly, I would rate this place higher than 5 stars if I could. Definitely worth the trip to Shawville.

The service and atmosphere are very nice but the only thing that I am complaining about is the starter on the pizza fingers they weren’t cooked right and were cold I ate it anyways but my stomach feels weird so to those who want to have starters don’t because they have been on the decline since the Covid pandemic happened and I apologize to the owner but it’s the truth
