Les Trois Brasseurs

What luck! Wandering along the art galleries, souvenir shops, and restaurants I find myself in front of a brewpub restaurant. The restaurant is in an old and beautifully restored building. Lots of dark wood and brown painted tin ceiling tiles with raised relief detailing give the place an intimate old world club atmosphere. A copper kettle is displayed prominently at the front of the restaurant behind glass. Someone is cleaning it out. A row of steel tanks for fermenting is along the side of the restaurant also behind glass.

They have four beers on tap brewed right on the premises.

• la Blonde - fairly bitter for a lighter beer.


• l'Ambrée - amber beer with a hint of caramel and also a bitter edge.


• la Brune - brown ale with that nice dark roasted malt flavour. The best of the bunch.


• la Blanche - Belgian style white beer. Hints of fruit, slightly sour, and that house style bitterness.

Of course drinking beer on an empty stomach in the heat makes for a short touring day. I try the house specialty, the Flammekueche. I've had something similar in Germany. It's like a thin crust pizza. Naturally I order Quebecoise style which is topped with bacon, onions, and cheese curds. Tasty!
