Others in the group liked their swisslike cheese and softer one with some vegetable ash that was a bit ripe for my taste. Being direct to customers it's around the same price as super market cheese and WAY better. Worth going out of your way on the way back from MTL if you're in upstate NY. The olive bread in stock is really well done and even the sparkling juice was really tasty. We got an apple blend (grapefruit I'm tempted to say?) and it was a delicious treat for the ride back.

I have never been to a sugar shack before and since we were in prime sugar shack season, we decided…read moreto go. It's so neat because you could see all the buckets on the trees where they have tapped them. They were cooking the maple sap, which is pretty watery, down to maple syrup. They had a drink they made with gin and then hot maple sap water and hot maple syrup. Oh my gosh! It was pure deliciousness which surprised me because I did not think that I liked maple syrup. Perhaps I've never had a good maple syrup. After all, I grew up on Aunt Jemima. They had wine which they make, too. So much food that it would be hard to eat it all, however, if I were to be honest it was fairly plain. Afterwards, you go out to the main area and they pour the hot maple syrup onto snow and it turns into this most delicious candy. Again, I was shocked how great that tasted ! I even had a second one. Loads of information about how maple syrup is so much more nutritious than corn syrup, etc. I think that I would try another one next time if we go this same time of year.

However, last year, I discovered their Cabane à Pomme (Apple Shack) and that, my friend, you must absolutely try!!! It usually runs from late September to October. You must call to reserve because they prep the food just for you as it's not cooked or served in bulk. While you book, they include a complimentary wine tasting of their maple wines and ciders (yay)! All you need to do is show up 30 min before your meal and head over to the boutique to taste. I always buy the Maple Wine which is a dessert wine with a delicate hint of maple. It's not too sweet, very refreshing and aromatic. You can choose between the 4 or 5 course meal. You must go with the 5 course because the Cold Cuts Platter is totally worth it with: Pork rillettes, Salted St-Isidore Turbot with Herbs, Beef jerky, Reinvented apple pie, Garden marinades & eggs in balsamic vinegar, Cornbread. My favorite was the deconstructed apple pie with cheddar, scallions, apples, cinnamon and I could not get enough. I could order a whole pie like this and eat it myself! The balsamic eggs were delightful with a slight tang from the vinegar, beautifully colored soft-boiled eggs. The turbot was delicate and delicious. Cornbread was covetable and we finished all the pickled veggies. Pork rillettes were so good we needed more bread! They served 3 salads: green beans & sweet corn, carrot & celeriac, romain. The beans and corn salad was sooooo good, I took them home. The dressing was sweet like a Dijon mustard and honey mix which really brought out the flavor of the beans and corn. The other two salads were ok. The soup. Cream of roasted cauliflower and garlic croutons. The soup is on the thinner side so you can eat a whole bowl. The flavor is perfectly seasoned and there are tiny bits of cauliflower giving it a nice texture. The main course. Deep fried turkey wings (omg) were so so good. The outside was golden brown and the meat inside was juicy. It was served in a basket and with a sauce. The braised pork was melt in your mouth served on a bed of barley with apple compote. They had a plate of sauteed purple cabbage that was so tasty, I tried recreating it at home. Just was not as good as theirs! I'd pass on the parsnip puree though as I'm not a fan of parsnips to start with. Then dessert: apple fritters! apple crumble and a strawberry ''ti-moune''. All were top-notch though the texture of the ti-moune is slightly surprising, it's mostly a whipped cream confection but nice nevertheless. Even though the food isn't served as 'all you can eat' it is definitely plenty. We left there stuffed and sleepy because of the turkey so maybe don't plan anything after your meal for the next 2 hours :) I referred a colleague who went the weekend after and also had rave reviews. No apple picking season is complete without a Apple Shack at Domaine Labranche. Yes, I am a fan.

If you find yourself in this part of Quebec, please pay these people a visit. They make their own chocolate there. THEY MAKE CHOCOLATE! There is a room next to the main area where you can watch them mix the chocolate, pour it into molds, and make a whole bunch of happiness. They offer creams, caramels, chocolate covered espresso beans, chocolate covered orange peels, truffles, and almost any other piece of chocolate heaven that you can think of. There is also a small espresso bar that offers a perfect cup of coffee as well as cocoa. Everyone there was extremely friendly, which is typical of most people I've met in this city. This is a perfect spot to stop in and enjoy the happiness as you walk along the water. Can't wait to visit again!
