Great food and amazing beer 🍻
The food was delicious, beer was fantastic, and servers were very nice. I may have just caught it on a busy night, regardless it took almost 3 hours to get in and out for dinner with the slow and understaffed service.
Best restaurant/micro-brewery in Val d'Or. Food is excellent and so are their many choices of exotic beers. Staff help you get the best possible experience.
Probably the best bar in town ! Very nice atmosphere and friendly staffs! Food choices and drink are great and prices are reasonable :)
Super friendly and talkative staff and delicious food ! The drinks are fresh local and homemade. Highly recommend 🍻
Gem of a place in Val D'or! Come here everytime I'm in town. Craft beer that actually tastes good. Had the beef tartar this time, generous portion and delicious.. only 30 bucks!!
Try the Gold Nuggets with the poutine sauce. You won’t regret it. Their craft beer is well worth a stop on your itinerary. Loved the rooftop terrace. We spent the day there going through their menu and chatting with other friendly patrons.
Defenitly give a 5⭐ for the beer, specially the Tête de Pioche. Food is ok. Staff is friendly.
Very good beers with or without alcohol. Favorite for the Neipa 117. Good micro brasserie meal Nice atmosphere, but very noisy when there is no event.
Very nice selection of beers and merchandise. Good advice from the staff
There is the art and way of saying things, especially to tourists! No, tipping is not obligatory in Quebec in restaurants, so young lady avoid attacking people when they are friendly. Furthermore, I remind you that it was not you who served us. We left you 10%...Tipping is strongly encouraged and is part of social norms. In Quebec, it is customary to leave a tip of approximately 15% to 20% of the bill before taxes if the service was satisfactory. This is not particularly the case. You have to stop soliciting your customers!!! This is particularly important because while servers are often paid an hourly rate lower than the regular minimum wage, we are not the ones to blame.
The atmosphere is good, the waitresses cheerful and courteous. The food is good.
Excellent meal, my husband had a tartare (one of the best he has eaten according to him) and I had a wonderfully good goats cheese salad. The only thing I could say is that were a little too stuck together.
My husband and I visited the store and factory last August. Wow lots of beautiful products to drink and wear. The designs are very pretty. We loved our factory tour and the chance to sample various products. We bought some and luckily I still have some in my fridge! We will return there during our next vacation...by the way I saw a few cans at my IGA in Gatineau!! Long live the Prospectors!
Delicious beers, delicious tapas. Popcorn chicken with masterful hot sauce. Try the wagyu beef dumplings, you wont be disappointed.
Extremely long service we waited 1 hour 10 minutes for our starters plate of natchos and chicken wings! But so good Exceptionally very good beer! I will go back tomorrow!
Very nice place. Pub with fantastic atmosphere. My favorite place for my 5 to 7
Good beer and good poutine. Music not too loud so we can chat without speaking loudly.
Great experience! The beer was really good even though the 10-year-old pic-pelle was out of stock. Otherwise the beef tartare was very good.
Very nice selection of beer and local products, the nachos lacked taste but the other starters were very good. $10 for a pint is within the price range everywhere else
Great place and menu! Please provide a dumbwaiter for the terrace! Everything was on point but we had trouble with the service on the 2nd floor. Delicious Sloppy Joe and Tête de Pioche beer
Very nice place that is worth the detour! Very good products, and very good service!
Superb terrace, attentive service.
Drive 1.5 hours and be refused entry because you have a child. Very ordinary and in no way accommodating!
I recommend the chicken wings! Very excellent!!
Its good, its pleasant as an atmosphere and as a decor.
Always well received! Good products, great atmosphere, good food! I recommend! Take the opportunity to pick up products from their stores, a great gift or souvenir!
Large selection of craft beers, each tastier than the last. Attractive menu and generous portions. Great discovery!
Nous sommes arrêté pour souper sur le chemin du retour. Je ne bois pas de bière mais ils en ont un vaste choix et ça semble une belle destination pour les amateurs de broue. Nous avons bien aimé notre expérience, la nourriture fut bonne et le service excellent. Recommandé! (Ça fait bizarre dire ça mais A+ pour loriginalité des urinoires!)
SUUUPER soupeeeeerrrr
Very high price for the meal, not at all up to date for a brasserie
Super delicious brunch but small downside I was missing a black tea to go with my lunch. Suzanne and George
Very good beer
Ok food. Beer ok.
Very good food and beer!
I stopped at the general store, I bought a pitcher of beer and a glass, I received excellent service, I will definitely come back. Very good products by the way!
Nice atmosphere, good food & good service
Best place for an evening with friends in Val d Or. An amazing choice of beers and exceptional service if you are lucky enough to be served by Étienne and Adam
Very proactive bartender during our visit who made us try different things! A1 beer and food too! !
I go to Val dOr three or four times a year for work, and Le Prospecteur is always the first restaurant on the list, and sometimes we find a way to go there twice. Last time, I was disappointed in terms of food. The fish and chips were ordinary, very very ordinary. No wow and damn it was dry. Really overcooked. This is the first time after so many times that I have come away telling myself that I will not come back during my stay. But, I will be in the area from 02/13 to 02/23, and I will go back. I tell myself that it happens to any cook to have a bad evening. The law of averages.
Beer lovers will be served! A must-have.
Very nice place to be with friends for a little drink.
The Prospecteur hamburger is excellent and their beef poutine wow we were a group of 5 and we loved it
Good beer Good services
Saturday January 15, 2023 we tried the restaurant for the first time we were seated at the bar we had excellent service from our bartender Danny! The beer and the meal were excellent!
Impeccable service, impeccable food, everything is perfect!!!
Amazing food
Good beer, good food, just perfect
Very good selection and their small batch is sometimes exceptionally good.
Wow great service and atmosphere
Perfection. As soon as you arrived, you were served good food and a superb atmosphere.
The best beer in Abitibi! A beautiful place with a terrace to chill out
Wonderful!
Very good beer selections and a good food menu to accompany it all. Efficient service, they kept smiling even if they were really busy!
Best microphone in QC in my opinion.
The best brewery in the city. There is always a good atmosphere and the beer is very varied.
First time in this superb restaurant and certainly not the last! 10/10
Good Beers, good selection of beers, good menu and nice atmosphere: what more could you ask for?
Alright
Great welcome. Excellent catering, very generous. Great atmosphere.
Had a good time! Great beer but food was only ok. Service was slow for us as well and we had to ask multiple times for things but the place is great. Would go back but only for the beer and maybe stay right by the bar next time.
Excellent homemade beers. To revisit at every opportunity.
Amazing! I tried everything. Everything was good.
Very nice terrace with really good beer and friendly service. The food was okay.
I highly recommend you Braised Beef Poutine: Belgian fries, Prospecteur poutine sauce, Prospecteur Noire braised beef, fried onions, green onions, cheese curds from La Fromagerie Vache in Maillote, Really excellent, worth the detour! Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to access.
Busy place when we went. Very friendly staff. I had chicken nachos and a porter beer. It was good. The service was fast. The prices were a little but high for what it was but in general, it is the same everywhere these days.
Wide variety of regular and seasonal beers. Very well recommended for the selection of beers according to my tastes.
The best place in Val d Or
Very nice place Good atmosphere Succulent food Excellent beer Impeccable service to try without hesitation
I loved the gold nuggets
Nice atmosphere, good food
A traditional place every 3 months when we go up to Malartic we go to eat at least once at the prospector and drink a couple of big blondes.
Your car!
Excellent service. Excessively loud music. Parking: Paid parking on 3rd Avenue.
A true immersion in a Canadian atmosphere, you can eat typical dishes like golden nugget or poutine while being surrounded by Quebecers wearing beards and red and black checkered jackets.
Excellent beer!
Another gem in Val d or! Everything was perfect. The atmosphere which fits well with the city, the relevant and well-made cuisine with lots of homemade products, efficient and super friendly service, excellent beers, a vast choice! We loved it!
I would have given an extra star if there had been an English version of the menu. I accidentally ordered a sour beer because my French isnt good enough!
I love this place
Thank youiiiiiiiiiiiii! Im staying in Repentigny (near Montreal), I was visiting Morin Heights and bam...cans!!!! Thank youiiiiiiiiiiiii! Finally your expertise with us. In my opinion, you are the best microbrewery in Quebec. I love the pickaxe head and the double pickaxe head and what about your Imperial Ulrick . I was born in Rouyn and on each of my visits to Abitibi I stop at your place. Always great service and so friendly. Good food and above all good beers. Thank you again and above all Cheers . Isabelle
Ive tried lots of IPAs, both in the USA and in Canada, NOTHING comes close to the top, its the best!!!
I was passing through Val d Or alone without really knowing where to go to eat or have a drink. I stopped at the prospector wow, a great experience, incredible service with Nico who gave me very good advice and helped me discover great things! I ate simple, authentic and delicious cuisine! On my next visit to Val d Or it s incredible!
The people of Val dOr are the friendliest in the world! Excellent beer, great service!
Very nice restaurant to try good beers and pleasant atmosphere!

Exceptional service, excellent products, warm atmosphere even on a holiday Monday! A must-see if you are in our beautiful region!
Exceptional service
I love this place... whether its with friends, colleagues, friends... The food is delicious and the service is great! You can even rent a very affordable private room with access to a projector and sound. I recommend it.
Gorgeous!
Very good food and beer brewed on site, excellent service, enjoy a duck pizza very good with an excellent beef tartare as well.
Im not from Val-dOr, I discovered this place by pure chance and Im not disappointed.... Very good and friendly staff
Nice place
Excellent service the beer is perfect, as are the nachos
Best beer around. Try the black beer from them.
Great experience, good pub food, good selection of lobal brewed beer. Cannot miss if you want to try it out.
Superb place THE PLACE in Val D or You have to take the gold nuggets
Best microbrewery I ve been to in a while. Excellent beer, great food, great terrasse, and outstanding service. My go to place whenever I m Val-d Or!
Wow!!!!!
Great atmosphere, very friendly staff, nice place, it seems to have a nice terrace on the roof, the beer is super good, on the other hand our nachos were very ordinary.
Very nice atmosphere, the chicken nachos are delicious and the service is always excellent.
Good beers, awesome taco plate!
Great experience in Abitibi
Very ordinary drinks, unaffordable food and below average beer.
Very good food for dinner and good variety of beers....!
Excellent food
Very good beers, including black beer.
Good beer, good service and nice atmosphere!
We went there to have a beer, and we were not disappointed. I think you have to take the special beers, or of the moment to discover interesting tastes. We ate there too, and we were surprised by the quality of the dishes. We were expecting pub food, but it turned out to be a step above. The prospectors burger being our biggest surprise.
Impeccable staff and service, as always!
they have a nice variety of things to buy, makes great gifts.
Best microphone in Quebec
Nice atmosphere and several seasonal beers. The menu has evolved over the years. Its worth going there often, especially for the terrace in the summer!
Very pleasant place
More than excellent service! Keep up your wonderful attitude.
Good beer! Good hors doeuvre. Pub atmosphere!
A very good place for beer and food. We had good service and we liked their beer. Their plates are very generous, and the beer was solid. The only reason why its not 5/5 for me is that their beer will have to be next level before (but its not all bad, as I say solid). Their rental at the moment is not very good because of the construction, but it is not their fault and will be resolved soon. Good spot that is worth a visit.
Good food and very good beer
Excellent !!
Excellent beers made on site. Excellent Oktoberfest dinner!
Best beef tartare ever eaten, beautiful simple place, friendly staff 7/5
Very friendly and delicious food and beer!
Super good food, courteous staff and a really pleasant relaxed atmosphere
