You haven't really visited Shawinigan if you haven't been to the famous award-winning BrewPub Brasserie Artisanale: Trou du Diable.
Great ambiance, wonderful staff, and (no exaggeration) hands down they have the best beers in Canada! What more can you ask for?!
For beers, my husband and I both love stouts, so we had to have "Le Sang d'Encre." In all honesty, we love it!!! C'était incroyable!!! We loved it so much that we wished we could buy some and bring it home. But unfortunately, they didn't have it ready in bottles there. We'd have to go and purchase it at their micro-brasserie/boutique next time. It is located not far from the BrewPub.
Moreover, we even tried the food while we're there. My husband had the Sauté de cerf (sauteed deer meat), and I had the Bucatini avec crevettes d'Argentine (Bucatini pasta with Argentinian prawns).
My husband absolutely loved his sauté de cerf. He said that the deer meat was excellent, tender, and not at all gamy. It had a unique combination of Korean flavors that was well executed. 👍👍
However, I wish I could say the same for my Bucatini. I am usually a huge fan of pasta, and this is my first time trying out this dish. Personally, I thought the capers were overbearing, and there was too much olive oil in the dish. Now, on the contrary, I don't know the rule of thumb for the number of serving prawns on a plate, but it definitely was not enough. 😅 Would I order this dish again? Perhaps not. But, I will try something different next time when we come and visit them again.
Overall, we still had a great experience at the Trou du Diable. We will come back for more and also recommend it to our family and friends.
