A francophone canal city of 42,787 that eats along rue Victoria: a microbrewery over the Vieux Canal, a bistro in a renovated church, a Cajun room open since 2004, board games with dinner, two apportez-votre-vin Asian rooms and a poutine institution standing since 1972. Nineteen verified listings, all in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield — and the market, honestly out of season.
Photos for Salaberry-de-Valleyfield are still on their way. Every listing below is real.
A canal city of 42,787 that eats along rue Victoria
Salaberry-de-Valleyfield eats along the water. The old Beauharnois canal cuts through downtown, and the town's best street of tables — rue Victoria — runs beside it: a microbrewery in a three-storey tasting hall, a market-led bistro, a resto-pub in a century house facing parc Delpha-Sauvé, a Victorian villa resto-bar, and a casse-croûte, all within a few doors of each other. Around that spine sit a bistro installed in a renovated church on rue Dufferin, a Cajun room open since 2004 on rue Champlain, a board-game pub on rue Nicholson, and, out along boulevard Monseigneur-Langlois and chemin Larocque, the grill houses, sushi counters and the poutine institution the town has defended since 1972. The 2021 census counted 42,787 people in the Ville de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, and nineteen listings follow — one market anchor whose season has ended, and eighteen venue cards, every one seated inside Salaberry-de-Valleyfield itself.
The firewall is stated plainly, and here it does real work: Beauharnois, Saint-Zotique, Les Coteaux, Coteau-du-Lac and Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague are separate municipalities across and along the water — their restaurants are their own towns' pages, and none is borrowed here. One directory favourite is excluded by exactly that rule and is named in the closing notes. This is a francophone town: venue names and dish names are printed verbatim in French, exactly as the houses style them. Where sources disagreed on hours or a phone number, the disagreement is printed in the card rather than smoothed over, and where no hours could be verified, none are printed. No price is printed anywhere on this page except a band — menus change, and a stale figure helps nobody.
The market anchor: a real season, honestly over
Marché public de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield — 2026 season ENDED Sep 26; summer return
Ruelle de la Quenouille, downtown, beside the Vieux Canal de Beauharnois · Saturdays 9 h – 13 h in season · 2026 season ran Aug 22–Sep 26 and is CLOSED at the time of writing
On Saturday mornings in late summer, a pedestrian lane beside the old canal becomes the town's pantry: the Ville's own public market, run with the organizer Marchés d'ici, which the Ville mandates for exhibitor recruitment. The Ville and the operator publish the same season: local and regional producers selling bakery goods, fruit, vegetables, spices and maple products. But the honest fact comes first: the published 2026 season ran every Saturday from August 22 to September 26, 9 h to 13 h — six Saturdays — and that last Saturday has passed. The market is not trading now. Do not plan a Saturday around it until the Ville and Marchés d'ici publish the next season; expect a late-summer return and check in spring. One discipline note: the Ville's own pages vary the producer count between editions, so no count is printed here. The Ville's Marché public page.
Rue Victoria: the canal-side strip
MVC Microbrasserie du Vieux-Canal — house beer above the old canal
299 rue Victoria · +1 450-373-6309 · Mar. 16 h – 21 h, mer. 11 h – 21 h, jeu.–sam. 11 h – 23 h, dim. 11 h – 21 h per its place record and RestoMontreal in agreement; lun. fermé · Modéré
The town's brewpub, set beside the Vieux Canal de Beauharnois in a tasting hall spread over three floors, with the terrace the local tourism arm calls unmissable in season. The beers are brewed in house, some of them inspired by the region, and the pub menu is built around a Valleyfield specialty worth travelling for: the grillades de Valleyfield, served in a cone, on a flatbread or over a poutine. The kitchen's other signatures run to a chicken BLT burger, a brie-and-cranberry plate and a Brussels-style Caesar. It doubles as a downtown events room — DJ nights, comedy, quizzes and singers rotate through — and its show series is the town's working ticket layer. One honest flag from its own summer reviews: during the Régates festival, a cover charge at the door drew real complaints; on an ordinary week, no such thing is reported. The building itself is currently listed for sale — the house states plainly that the microbrewery continues to operate and grow, and it is carded on that footing. Destination Valleyfield's MVC page.
Bistro Panache — the market-led bistro at 307
307 rue Victoria · +1 450-747-4148 · Mar.–mer. 11 h 30 – 21 h, jeu.–sam. 11 h 30 – 22 h, dim. 11 h 30 – 21 h per its house week, place record and RestoMontreal in agreement; lun. fermé · Cher
A few doors from the brewpub, the strip's dressed-up table: a French bistro whose own motto promises careful cooking without taking itself seriously, working a market-led menu from a well-placed terrace in the waterfront quarter. The house menu leads with its tartares — a tuna tartare with guacamole, sesame and hoisin, and a wapiti tartare beside it — a beef carpaccio, a shrimp-and-scallop ceviche, stuffed café mushrooms, and a Burger 307 stacked with bacon confit, caramelized onions and a three-cheese sauce; a short-rib Cuban sandwich does the lunch trade. Reviewers single out the cooking and the room in the same breath, and note the prices just as honestly — this is the Victoria splurge, and it knows it. Bistro Panache's site.
Resto Pub McBroue — the century house facing parc Sauvé
329 rue Victoria · +1 450-371-0770 · Lun.–mer. 11 h – 21 h, jeu.–sam. 11 h – 22 h, dim. 11 h – 21 h per the house's own published week · Modéré
The canal strip's everybody-welcome pub, in a house more than a hundred years old facing parc Sauvé, two steps from the Vieux Canal. The kitchen works the pub canon generously — burgers including its chicken burger, wings, poutines and grilled plates, with a fondue night built for two midweek — and the room runs on hockey: every Canadiens game is shown with the sound on, and game-night Thursdays carry the house's wing-and-pitcher ritual. Groups are a house specialty, seated up to 120. Its own self-description is the honest review: affordable, direct, and loud when it needs to be. One directory prints the pub as open 24 hours; that is an error against every other surface, the house's own week above governs, and the 24-hour form is flagged here rather than repeated as fact. McBroue's site.
Club Touriste Resto-Bar — dinner in the 1901 Villa Cécilia
133 rue Victoria · +1 450-373-5290 · Kitchen: lun.–mer. 11 h 30 – 14 h et 17 h – 21 h, jeu.–ven. 11 h 30 – 14 h et 17 h – 21 h 30, sam. 17 h – 21 h 30; dim. fermé · Modéré
The strip's landmark: a resto-bar in the Villa Cécilia, a Victorian house built in 1901 beside the canal, where a Valleyfield Tourist Club was founded in 1930 and a restaurant has traded, under this name, for most of the years since. The current owners — the same group behind McBroue, up the street — run it as the canal's occasion room: a large terrace, private rooms upstairs for receptions, live music, and a kitchen whose signatures are a Poutine Touriste, a smoked-salmon tartare, shrimp fettuccine and calamari. Show nights carry a house courtesy for Valspec ticket-holders the same evening — ask when you book. The hours need one flag, printed not merged: the kitchen week above is the house's own; travel listings that run the room to 23 h or 1 a.m. are describing the bar, which stays open past the kitchen according to the crowd. Club Touriste's site.
Restaurant La Pataterie — the downtown casse-croûte on Victoria
189 rue Victoria · +1 450-377-5193 · Tous les jours 10 h – 23 h per its place record (see flag) · Économique
Downtown's fries-first counter, a few doors from the canal: poutine in its classic and bacon forms, a cheeseburger-bacon poutine for the committed, a King bacon burger, the hot dog patate, submarines and smoked meat, with goudilles for the road. Diners praise the portions, the speed and the welcome, and note the prices have crept — at casse-croûte level, the town still calls it good value. The hours carry the page's plainest flag: its place record and the restaurant directories run it daily to 23 h, while the Ville's own commercial directory closes it at 19 h 30. The record week is printed above; a late-evening plan deserves the phone call. La Pataterie's page.
Rue Champlain and rue Dufferin: the church bistro, the Cajun room and the dinette
La Demande Générale Valleyfield — a Montréal bistro inside a renovated church
57 rue Dufferin · +1 450-377-0007 · Hours conflict — see flag · Modéré
The town's most singular room: a bistro and buvette installed in a renovated church in the old town, run by three brothers whose restaurant lived for years on rue Saint-Denis in Montréal before migrating here. The cooking is seasonal and market-sourced on the house's own account — tartares above all (a duck tartare is the dish diners name first), scallops, a bavette and a contre-filet, a tomahawk to share, fish and chips, a poutine, and a cocktail list the house treats as a headline rather than an afterthought. Four evenings a week is the shape, and the room fills. The hours are this card's flag, printed not merged: its place record gives Thursday to Sunday from 17 h (to 23 h, Sunday 21 h), RestoMontreal gives the same four days from 16 h to 21 h, and the Ville's commercial directory adds a Wednesday and a 16 h start. The days agree; the clock does not — book by phone and confirm. La Demande Générale's site.
Restaurant La Nouvelle-Orléans — Cajun and Creole on Champlain since 2004
182 rue Champlain · +1 450-373-7997 · Mer.–sam. 17 h – 21 h per its place record, RestoMontreal and RestoEnLigne in agreement (see flag) · Cher
Salaberry-de-Valleyfield's Louisiana table, open since 2004 and styled on the French Quarter rooms it admires: a small dining room cooking the canon properly — a jambalaya of shrimp, chicken and sausage in a slow, spiced sauce; crawfish à l'étouffée; a blackened fish diners call the best reason to cross town; poulet Rochambeau; coconut-and-beer shrimp; and a voodoo pasta for the heat-tolerant. The house sells its own Creole sauce and Cajun spice blend at the counter, which tells you how seriously the seasoning is taken. Four evenings only, Wednesday to Saturday, and the room is small — its own regulars say reserve. One flag: a travel listing runs Friday and Saturday to 22 h where the house-side records close at 21 h; the 21 h week is printed above. La Nouvelle-Orléans' site.
Dinette Chez Pauline — fried chicken and barbacoa, evenings on Champlain
121 rue Champlain · +1 450-567-0012 · Jeu. 17 h – 21 h, ven.–sam. 17 h – 22 h per its place record (see flag) · Modéré
Do not let the name plan your morning: whatever its dinette heritage, the current Pauline is a dinner room, and a Southern-leaning one — fried chicken with a homemade barbecue sauce served with three sides, barbacoa beef, a Cajun-gratinated mac and cheese, tacos, mozzarella sticks in marinara and burgers that diners rate among the town's best, with craft beers and natural wines beside them. It is one of the highest-rated small rooms in town on the directories' own counts. The flag is a single day: its place record opens Thursday to Saturday, while a restaurant directory adds a Wednesday service in the same hours — the record week is printed above, and a Wednesday plan belongs on the phone. Chez Pauline's site.
Rue du Marché and rue Nicholson: the corner bistro, the board-game pub and the pizza counter
Clandestin Bistro & Lounge — the chef's corner bistro on du Marché
93 rue du Marché · +1 514-377-3530 · Mar.–sam. 9 h – 21 h per its place record · Économique
A small chef-run bistro a step from the market lane, styling itself, in its own words, an affordable, unpretentious corner bistro serving comfort cooking — with a catering service for events running beside the dining room. Its record carries no published menu at listing grade in this pass, so no dish is claimed for it here; it is carded at record strength, the way this page treats every house whose facts are thinner than its reputation. Two flags ride along: a restaurant directory prices it well above the inexpensive band its place record gives, and its published phone carries a Montréal-area code that is nevertheless the number on its own record — both are printed as found.
Le Joker Pub Ludique — board games, quiz nights and pub plates
24 rue Nicholson · +1 450-747-5801 · Mer.–jeu. 16 h – 22 h, ven. 16 h – 1 h, sam. 11 h – 1 h, dim. 11 h – 22 h per its place record and RestoEnLigne in agreement (see flags) · Modéré
The downtown room where dinner comes with a game library: a board-game pub — the Valleyfield house of a small Québec chain, with siblings in Drummondville and Terrebonne, stated here because the format is the point — where animators teach games at your table while the kitchen sends out sharing plates, flatbreads (a chicken flatbread is a house signature), burgers, nachos, poutines and cocktails. Its week is programmed like a league: a quiz season on Wednesdays, musical bingo, giant werewolf games and screening nights, and in summer the pub's quiz animates the Promenade du Marché for the Ville. Two flags: its place record adds a Tuesday 11 h – 22 h that the other surfaces do not carry, and the Ville's directory prints a different phone number than the house record and directories agree on — the agreed number is printed above.
Pizza St-Laurent — the du Marché pizza counter
118 rue du Marché · Hours not verified at listing grade — none printed · Économique
The market street's pizza address, carded at record strength: its place record seats it on rue du Marché, and its delivery crowd is vocal — diners on the platforms call its pizza among the town's best, praise the subs and the club sandwich, and argue about the smoked meat and the poutine, which is the correct shape of a neighbourhood pizza argument. No house week could be verified in this pass, so none is printed; order by the platforms or walk the street — it is a two-minute stroll from the market lane.
Rue Maden and chemin Larocque: the Asian rooms and the 1972 poutine
Restaurant Kim Do — Vietnamese and sushi on rue Maden, apportez votre vin
112 rue Maden · +1 450-371-5535 per its place record (see flag) · Mer.–ven. 11 h 30 – 14 h 30 et 17 h – 21 h, sam.–dim. 17 h – 21 h per its place record; lun.–mar. absent from the record · Modéré
The town's Vietnamese table, a short walk from the curling club: a bring-your-own-wine room cooking across the Vietnamese and sushi registers — a soupe repas and a wonton soup, imperial rolls, a pad siew au bœuf, lemongrass beef that its regulars name first, sizzling plates, and sushi its diners have praised for a decade. The house announces itself, simply, as back — and the split week is the shape to plan around: lunches only Wednesday to Friday, evenings Wednesday to Sunday. Two flags, printed not merged: a travel listing circulates a different phone number than the house-side record printed above, and runs the weekend evenings an hour later; the record governs both, and the phone settles any doubt. Kim Do's page.
Restaurant Chiyo — Asian fusion and sushi on Larocque, apportez votre vin
209 chemin Larocque · +1 450-373-2497 · Hours conflict — see flag · Modéré
Larocque's Asian room, a few doors from Le Bidon and a useful counterpoint to it: an apportez-votre-vin fusion house working sushi, Thai and grill registers at once — a kamikaze maki, orchid bites, imperial rolls, a pad siew au bœuf, grilled beef and a général Tao its diners single out beside the sushi. The hours are genuinely unsettled and are printed as a conflict, not a week: its place record gives Wednesday to Friday in two services (11 h – 14 h, then 16 h 30 – 21 h, Friday to 22 h) with Saturday evenings only, while travel listings add a Tuesday and a Saturday lunch. The evenings are certain; a Tuesday or Saturday-midday plan belongs on the phone. Chiyo's site.
Restaurant Le Bidon — the poutine institution since 1972
333 chemin Larocque · +1 450-371-0771 · Tous les jours 11 h – 20 h, ven. 11 h – 20 h 30 per its place record (see flag) · Économique
The casse-croûte Valleyfield measures itself by: trading since 1972 by its diners' own account, and busiest in summer when the Régates crowds descend. The order is the poutine — the house's own, generous with curds under a rich sauce — then the hamburger Le Bidon, a pogo italien, a poutine aux grillades, a Michigan, and a homemade lemonade to cut it. Its own reviewers are honest about the trade-off in both directions: the poutine is called divine, and at peak the wait can stretch past half an hour for two hot dogs. Go early, or go expecting the line — the town has voted with its feet for fifty years. The hours carry a flag: the Ville's commercial directory publishes a shorter 10 h 30 – 19 h 30 day than the place record printed above. Le Bidon's site.
Boulevard Monseigneur-Langlois: the grill house and the urban tavern
Toro Bistro & Grill — the flambé bistro on the boulevard
320 boul. Monseigneur-Langlois · +1 450-377-8676 · Lun.–mar. 17 h – 21 h, mer.–ven. 11 h 30 – 21 h (ven. – 21 h 30), sam. 17 h – 22 h, dim. 17 h – 21 h per the house's own published week · Cher
The boulevard's occasion address: a French bistro and grill run by two brothers from Saint-Lazare who worked the region's kitchens before opening a room of their own. The theatre is tableside — a filet mignon flambéed in scotch is the house signature, beside a AAA bavette in bourbon and parmesan, a smoked foie gras, a 32-ounce T-bone built for two, a salmon-and-strawberry tartare, rosemary rack of lamb and duck magret. Lunch runs a shorter urban menu with vegetarian and gluten-free plates, and a catering arm works beside the dining room. Its diners' advice is consistent: the service is the show as much as the flambé is, and the room books — reserve. One directory starts its days at 11 h flat; the house's own week above governs. Toro's site.
DEZ Taverne Urbaine — the Isabella Street tavern
19 rue Isabella · +1 450-747-0330 · Hours not verified at listing grade — none printed
The town's urban tavern, seated just off the boulevard corridor on rue Isabella and carded at record strength: its directory record gives the address and phone above, and its takeout crowd keeps it on the town's most-ordered lists. No house week or menu could be verified at listing grade in this pass, so none is claimed — a tavern is a walk-in proposition in any case, and Isabella is a short hop from the Mgr-Langlois strip this section covers.
Cafés, bakery and ice cream: the Mgr-Langlois counter and the two Leche Crème
Les Moulins La Fayette — boulangerie, pâtisserie, café and lunch counter
1330 boul. Monseigneur-Langlois, suite 102 · +1 450-371-8080 · Lun.–ven. 7 h 30 – 17 h 30, sam.–dim. 8 h – 17 h per its place record and three directories in agreement · Modéré
The boulevard's daytime institution, open since 2015 on the delivery platforms' account: the Valleyfield counter of a Québec bakery chain — that status stated plainly — working the full French bakery register under one roof, in its own five-word billing: bakery, pastry shop, café, sandwich shop, caterer. Croissants and a giant chocolate macaron at the pastry case, individual cheesecakes, a millefeuille and a Paris-Brest, tartelettes au citron, an express lunch box that is the counter's most-ordered item, and lattés in both temperatures. It is a daytime address only, and the corridor's reliable breakfast-adjacent stop. One menu directory runs its evenings hours later than every other surface; the agreed week above governs. Les Moulins La Fayette's Valleyfield page.
Leche Crème — two ice-cream counters, Victoria and Grande-Île
117 rue Victoria · +1 450-370-3334 · and 512 avenue de Grande-Île · +1 450-370-0588 · Victoria: lun.–jeu. et dim. 11 h – 21 h 30, ven.–sam. 11 h – 22 h · Grande-Île: tous les jours 11 h – 23 h, per the two counters' own place records · Modéré
The town's ice-cream name, in two rooms: a downtown counter on rue Victoria, in the middle of the canal strip, and a second on avenue de Grande-Île — the house's own social name for it is, literally, Leche Crème Two. The register is the full Québec crémerie canon: soft-serve, hard ice creams, gelatos and sorbets, sundaes, milkshakes, the lichette glacée, and a Ferrero tornado for the maximalists. On the directories' own counts it is rated the region's ice-cream destination, the place visitors detour for — in Régates season, the Victoria counter is the natural end to a canal-side dinner on this page. Leche Crème's page.
Named, not carded — and why:Restaurant MKOP is the firewall's cleanest catch on this page: directories file it under Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, but its own record seats it at 7 rue Principale in Coteau-du-Lac — a neighbouring municipality — and its status is flagged possibly-temporarily-closed besides; it is not this town's listing on either count. The same seat rule keeps out the Brasserie Barabas (Sainte-Barbe) and Mia Pasta (Les Coteaux), both of which surface under this town's name in directory searches. Onze-14 Bistro Urbain (1114 boul. du Bord-de-l'eau), the waterside bistro diners praised for its moules and bavette, is marked permanently closed on its place record and is excluded until a reopening verifies. Held for a listing-grade pass: Pub-Café La Maîtresse (144 rue Champlain), Restaurant L'Eggs-Tasse (the Ville directory's breakfast room, Tuesday to Sunday mornings), Restaurant Lotus, ExotiQua and La Belle d'Asie (both on the Ville's directory with short evening weeks), Pizza Fritz, Pizza Chez Rose, La Toscane (45 rue Nicholson — the same address an older record gives a Bistro 45; two names, one door, held rather than merged), Bistrobistro (170 boul. Monseigneur-Langlois) and Willy's Pub. The seated chains — St-Hubert, Casa Grecque, Amir, Benny&Co., Mikes and the fast-food row along Mgr-Langlois — are Salaberry-de-Valleyfield-seated and busy, and are named so nobody thinks them missed; national and provincial chains are not this page's subject.
Community meals, stated plainly: Salaberry-de-Valleyfield's community-meal record stands at interim — it has not been finalized, and it currently counts zero meals. The lead candidate is the Café des Deux Pains (107 rue Jacques-Cartier) and its weekday dining-room supper: its cadence passes (Monday to Friday, late afternoon, published by the host), and its price passes (a low per-meal contribution published by the host, with a relief path) — but its openness is unproven: every surface frames the organisme's mission as food aid for people and families in financial difficulty, relief runs by evaluation, and no surface states the meal is open to everyone. It is therefore not presented here as a community meal, and it is not carded as a café either — the only facts its own surfaces prove are the programme itself. One published statement that the supper is open to all would change this page's count; until then, zero is the honest interim number. Around it, the exclusions are recorded so they are never upgraded by mistake: the Café's family lunch-box aid is take-home and evaluation-gated; the Centre d'action bénévole's friendship dinner is a 65-and-over clientèle service with no published price; Le SAC and Moisson Sud-Ouest are food aid and food-bank distribution, not meals; and the Popote roulante is a delivered, eligibility-framed service.
Common questions
What food is Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Québec known for?
The grillades de Valleyfield — the town's own grilled-meat specialty, served at the MVC Microbrasserie du Vieux-Canal in a cone, on a flatbread or over a poutine — and the poutine at Restaurant Le Bidon, a chemin Larocque casse-croûte trading since 1972. The rue Victoria canal strip (microbrewery, Bistro Panache, McBroue, Club Touriste) is the town's dining spine.
Is the Marché public de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield open now?
Not outside its season. The market on the ruelle de la Quenouille ran Saturdays 9 h – 13 h from August 22 to September 26, 2026, and that season has ended. Expect a late-summer return when the Ville de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield and Marchés d'ici publish the next season — check in spring.
Where can I eat beside the canal in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield?
Rue Victoria is the canal-side strip: MVC Microbrasserie du Vieux-Canal (299 rue Victoria), Bistro Panache (307), Resto Pub McBroue (329) and Club Touriste (133, in the 1901 Villa Cécilia) all sit within a few doors of the Vieux Canal de Beauharnois, with La Pataterie (189) for a casse-croûte and the Leche Crème counter (117) for dessert.
Which Salaberry-de-Valleyfield restaurants are apportez votre vin?
Two verified bring-your-own-wine rooms: Restaurant Kim Do (112 rue Maden, Vietnamese and sushi) and Restaurant Chiyo (209 chemin Larocque, Asian fusion and sushi). Both publish the formula on their own records.
Is there a community supper in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield?
None counts as verified — the interim record is zero, and finalization is still to come. The lead candidate, the Café des Deux Pains' weekday dining-room supper (107 rue Jacques-Cartier), proves a regular cadence and a low published price, but no source states it is open to everyone; its published framing is food aid for people in financial difficulty, with relief by evaluation. It is held, not counted, until a source states its openness plainly.
