  • The Cabane a sucre experience is a springtime tradition in the province of Quebec. It sure is a nice celebration to transition seasons from the long cold winters to the snow melting and spring. Once the snow starts melting the sap starts running. The perfect temp for this is freezing at night and above zero in the daytime. For a prairie boy growing up in Central Canada it was different and kinda crazy the first few years I had experienced it. Then I went year two and three and the experience was more of like an AYCE wooden cabin. It was about stuffing your face with a pseudo breakfast meal with maple syrup drizzled over everything. We needed to find a new Cabane. You see folks, some are really like a glorified cafeteria so choose your Cabane wisely. I would say Sucerie de la Montage has a very ethereal setting and feel. It's really majestic as you enter in. Open year round you drive up and are brought back in time. The setting is magical. I'd compare it to entering Boone Hall plantation (outside of Charleston, SC) however the magical oak trees are replaced by hundred year old maple trees. There is a general store (full of everything maple syrup and souvenir) and a few chalets that you could rent out to stay on the property. The trees and the forest surrounding the buildings are some of the nicest you will visit at a Cabane. Take photos, it's incredible. The buildings are old and it gives you a historical sense for what life was like for a fur trader perhaps 200 years ago. Inside there is a grand fireplace, a few separate dining halls where you sit picnic style setting while traditional Québécois style music sets the mood. The decor is incredible and fits the mood of the place well. There are photos of the founder and owner Pierre Faucher. A mythical legend of a man himself. The best I could describe him is he looks like he was a traveller in Samuel De Champlain's entourage. Or he could fit the bill for Santa Claus himself with his big white beard. We were able to see him and he took photos with the kids who were excited to see this grand old man. Enough about the place...... Onto the food. There is a healthy selection of all rich Cabane food First starting off with a very good: * split pea soup. I love it. Then the main event: * fluffy eggs * crispy bacon * fresh bread * baked beans * oven roasted ham * pork sausage * mashed potatoes As condiments: Quebec style sweet ketchup, pickled beets, massive bottle of dark maple syrup For dessert : * tarte au sucre plus pancakes. Overall the food was good but not blow your mind amazing. Then the price tag $38 per adult. This is the prime season rate. It drops down to $33 in off season. Kids 3-6 are $13 and 7-12 $19. Taking this into consideration it's an expensive event. There are Cabanes that are cheaper but this one is special for the setting. Would I come back? Maybe a great place for a corporate event or to wow someone who has never been. Otherwise probably not. You leave the place usually moaning and groaning from the rich food. Alas the Cabane is a great time. Try your best keeping the eating under control. Otherwise loosen the belt buckle as you leave!
