Unlimited sugar shack meal for those with a sweet tooth!

Discover the history of our traditional menu !

After a long winter of subsisting on provisions gathered from the fields, nothing beats a touch of maple syrup in the menu to celebrate spring. Back then, it was with the help of family and friends that everyone busied themselves with collecting sap, which was then followed by a hearty meal.

On the menu, to feed all the helpers, you’d find whatever remained from the winter stores. Among other dishes were pea soup, marinated autumn vegetables, farm-fresh eggs, grilled bacon, ham, beans, and potatoes. The meal was simple but filled with authentic, comforting flavors! Meanwhile, by the wood stove, the freshly collected sap was boiled, filling the shack with its sweet, gentle aroma.

After the meal, the children played outside, eager to taste the maple taffy. These moments captured the very essence of life at the sugar bush. Folk music further animated the feast, with the violin and lively jig dances adding to the atmosphere. Everyone cherished these magical moments. And if the harvest had been good—for the delight of both the young and the old—the highlight of the meal was a little stick of maple taffy on the snow!

Together, let’s keep the tradition alive !

Thus, today it is these very recipes—passed down from generation to generation since 1948—that make up our generous and comforting menu, perfect for celebrating the arrival of spring. This tradition continues to bring our loved ones together in a spirit of sharing and simplicity.

Ultimately, this meal, a symbol of warmth and togetherness, has remained at the heart of our tradition. That is why we are proud to carry on this legacy and offer you a menu steeped in our rich heritage.

Thank you for celebrating this tradition with us. We are grateful to share these unique moments with you.

Bon appétit, my dear friends!
