"Operating this sugar shack since 2004, Mélanie Charbonneau has longstanding family ties to the maple syrup industry, and it shows. At this sizeable Mont St-Grégoire location, plates are loaded up with as many baked omeletes and slices of tourtière as there are traditional desserts like pets de soeur (literally “nun farts,” similar to a cinnamon roll) and buckwheat pancakes. Open until May 1, diners 16 and over can grab a seat for $38.95 — no reservations required. Drinks cost extra, but they’re worth it, especially when they’re poured from bottles from the neighbouring cider house run by Mélanie’s father Denis." - JP Karwacki
