It was minimum 20 minutes from waiting in line to order to get the cappuccino ... pretty long, and the cappuccino was pretty bland.

For tea lovers they have a huge selection of dry tea leaves for sale.

When we got in, there weren't a lot of maple donuts left (4 I think). And honestly, if I'm driving up to Canada and getting Tim's amazing maple donuts, I'm going to get at least half a dozen. The cashier barely spoke English which made it very difficult to order. I understand I'm in Canada's French region and I should know the basics but even me trying to speak French, it was difficult getting my order through. I did order donuts but I went on my merry way to the next closest Tim Hortons where I had a better experience and got more maple donuts (and was able to have an easier time with communication...thank you google translate)!

A true Canadian tradition!…read more For my whole life as a Canadian, I've never heard or been to Sugar Shack. Probably because there's none close to Toronto, but this one is only about 30 minutes outside of Montreal. It's a feast / all-you-can-eat, featuring: Bread and butter Cretons (pork spread) Coleslaw Homemade marinades Pickles and pickled beets Pea soup Baked omelette Ham Maple sausages Baked beans Pork rinds Grilled bacon Fried potatoes Homemade tourtière (meat pie) Meatballs Desserts: Pet de soeur (pastry) Sugar pie Buckwheat pancakes Crepes with maple coulis Maple taffy on snow (after dinner) Maple production season this year is from February 19 to May 1, 2022. Prices have apparently gone up since Covid, it's $38.95 per adult. It is just maple-focused, fanicer breakfast food. But portions are huge. You can't take anything home. Book in advance, it's very popular and seasonal each year. Service was poor since it's so busy. The waitresses often forgot our (drink) orders. Communication in English, and naming or even explaining the food was a struggle for the wait staff. Maple taffy on snow, is a tradition on its own. Unlimited. It's after dinner, later on, in a hut/house outside the restaurant. You see part of the process, with an evaporator. They give you a popsicle stick and you roll / pick up as much maple taffy as you want.

And the wind was definitely there. Nevertheless, we HAD to show this wonderful tradition to an Argentinian friend who would soon return home, so we rented a car, braved the cold and drove to Mont-St-Grégoire. The drive there is rather short and easy. The road to l'Erabliere Charbonneau is lined with countless other sugar shacks, but Charbonneau is one of the best reviewed. The sugar shack's compound is rather large, comprising of a mini-farm with goats (and a llama!!), a playground, an orchard, a house dedicated to maple-on-snow, and the Charbonneau restaurant. We didn't make a reservation, but we arrived right at opening time and got a table right away. The restaurant's food is nice, although a bit simple. Everything (except a small apple juice sample) is all-you-can-eat, which makes the ~33$/person price tag seem reasonable. For that price, you also get maple-on-snow and a tractor ride to the orchard nearby, where you can sample cider and wines. The meal has three services: 1) entrees (beets, coleslaw, split bean/ham soup, bread and pork spread, etc), 2) mains (eggs and ham, sausages, bacon/oreilles de crisse, potatoes, beef patties, beans), and 3) desserts (pancakes, maple butterscotch, "pets-de-soeur", sugar pie, etc.). After the second wave of food, we were already pretty bloated, so desserts threw us staight into food coma. To wake us up, we went to see the orchard shop - which is barely 3 minutes away - but sitting in the back of that tractor in the bitter cold made it seem more like 10 minutes. The shop is quite nice, with tons of local products, maple confections, candies, pies, pickles, and, strangely, emu oil-based hygiene products (!). There was free, warm cinnamon-flavored apple juice for everyone, and free samples of ciders and wines in a little house nearby. But most of us just wanted to take a nap, so we crumbled into comfy sofas in a lobby closeby. Half an hour later, we shaked off the drowsiness to brave once again the cold and return to the main compound. There, we each had a maple taffy on ice, rushed to the warm comfort of our car and drove off. It was a very quiet drive back.
