5 /5 Tom Schoen, mapping & reviews: Siboire Dépôt is the kind of place that makes you wish you lived nearby just so you could drop in all the time. Housed in a beautifully restored old train station, it has an atmosphere that feels both historic and lively. The building itself is worth a visit, with warm lighting, brick walls, and that unmistakable character that only an older structure can offer. It’s one of those rare spots where design, history, and good food all come together effortlessly.
The staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and helpful from the moment we walked in. Service was efficient without ever feeling rushed. I appreciated that the noise level was moderate enough to have an actual conversation, which made it perfect for visiting with friends.
I went with the locals’ recommendation and ordered the Fish and Chips, opting for the three-fish sampler. It did not disappoint. The fish was fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The batter was crisp and light, and the coleslaw on the side added a fresh, balanced touch. My friend had the venison burger, which looked and tasted fantastic. Everything about the meal felt fresh and made with care.
Siboire’s beer selection deserves a special mention. They have an impressive range of house brews, and the hazy IPA I tried was excellent: fruity, aromatic, and balanced. It’s clear the brewery takes pride in crafting quality beer that pairs well with their food.
The location could not be more convenient, right in the heart of Sherbrooke and within walking distance from my hotel. Whether you are a visitor or a local, it’s an easy place to settle into for a relaxed meal and a great pint.
If I lived in Sherbrooke, this would absolutely be my regular go-to spot for good food, good beer, and good company.
