VOYAGEUR LOUNGE at The Inn of Acadia The Voyageur Lounge is unique in that it is located on the third floor of the Inn of Acadia, which overlooks the town of Madawaska as well as neighboring Edmunston, N.B. Canada. Guest and patrons get to enjoy a comfortable and relaxing setting, receive great service and enjoy awesome freshly prepared food. When the Inn of Acadia opened in 2013, the Voyageur Lounge operated as a full service bar. After six to seven months of operation, feedback from the 52 FALL 2014 patrons indicated that establishing food service would be well received. Earlier this spring, Owner Jonathan Roy, having no restaurant experience, teamed up with Chef Samantha Berry, former owner of the Custom Cake Café in Fort Kent. Together they finalized a commercial kitchen as well as a lunch and dinner menu that have a little something for everybody. Samantha oversees all aspects of the Voyageur Lounge and has put together a great team that believes in the importance of top-notch customer service.
