Celebrating 91 years of family tradition, Valois’ Motel and Restaurant offers home-style cooking, modern accommodations, and a rich history rooted in the heart of Mattawa. Nestled along the scenic Ottawa River, with stunning views of the water and mountains, our fully licensed restaurant and cozy motel units have been a beloved destination for travellers since 1934.
Originally a small snack bar and gas pump started by Arthur and Pearl Valois, the business grew to include cottages, motel units, and a dining room known for its hearty meals and famous homemade pies, like raspberry and coconut cream. Today, Olivia and her husband Gautam Sharma continue this proud legacy with care and dedication, that has been passed on to them from the second owners.
