Go for the traditional sugar shack experience
Enjoy the classics in a friendly atmosphere.
At Cabane à sucre d’Amours, the warm welcome and rustic decor make it the ideal place for families on a day out.

Have fun before, during and after the meal
Pair your maple treats with fun things to do on site at the shack or nearby.
After a meal at Cabane Arthur Raymond, go out for some snow tubing at Glissades des Pays d’en Haut. And at the Aux Trois Renards sugar shack, you’ll find an on-site museum where you can learn about the history of maple syrup and maple syrup production techniques.
Craft beer fans are sure to appreciate the Sucrerie Bonaventure, which boasts the onsite microbrewery L’Entêté.
And if you’re craving sugar shack vibes year round, you’ll be happy to know that Au Petit Poucet serves a traditional meal all year long.
Savour some maple syrup on an orchard
Do you love apples as much as maple syrup? Then how about going to a sugar shack nestled in an orchard.
At Labonté de la pomme, the Cabane à pommes experience showcases apples, maple and other local Quebec specialties, including the popular Oka cheese. The Au gré des saisons shack also offers a maple syrup meal in a bucolic setting, perfect for a gourmet outing in the great outdoors.
