Bistro Sur La Rive - Châteauguay

On summer days it is wonderful to know that at the end of my bike ride along the river, there is a small bistro where I can park my bike outside the door and head in for the 'today menu' of coffee, perhaps Italian sausage on Panini with a side order of fresh salad - service was pleasant and the view on the river added to a relaxing lunch.

The owner is super passionate and makes excellent smoked salmon. The sandwiches are on the pricey side but very tasty.

I absolutely adore bistro sur la rive! The restaurant is charming, especially when dining on the terrace by the river. Their soups and salads are exceptional, but the standout dish on their menu has to be the smoked trout. I could eat it every single day!

I found this restaurant while was riding my motorcycle along a small river in Chateauguay. Was time to have lunch and stopped to see what is in there. I was greeted by the owner and on my question "What you have nice for launch" was offered to try their smoked salmon. The sample was just amazing and I ordered the salad with veggies. You can see what I was served on the picture and believe me that the taste was better than the look!One of the secrets of a good taste is that the owner smokes the salmon himself in his back yard smoker.If you are in Chateauguay go there and try it yourself.

You can't go wrong with the smoked salmon here, and the outdoor seating is perfect for a summer lunch. The owner, Daniel, is a gem - always polite and friendly. Be sure to try his delicious breakfast omelettes.
