Sucrerie de la Montagne

The food was really good - especially the bacon and pancakes. The tour was also very informative! Great place!

Nice little place, but roads to get there are dangerous espacially at night! The food is awfull as well as the wine. 75$ to eat dry bacon, faty ham & mash patatos is a hard pass. Even the maple sirup is not up to part. Sorry but way overated for me.

Visited in September outside sugar shack operation times so can't comment on that part, however the bar, restaurant and store were all open. The grounds are interesting and there are many trails to walk

We had a great time at this Sugar Shack! We were a big group and they were very accommodating. The little tour of the maple room was really fun. I think it was Simon, was awesome! The in house entertainment was incredible! If you go in with the mindset this is food they would have eaten back in the day- and serve it in the traditional cabin/family style way- then you will be impressed !! We loved it. Definitely a great experience.

Really don't get the hype. Absolutely nothing special. 65 bucks a head. Barely any food. Absolutely nothing for the kids to do. Not even one game. Nothing. Service was good but spend your money elsewhere. Many places much cheaper with full of activities for the kids. Yes there is a horse from parking lot to entrance. Woohoo. The servings are so small and yes you can ask for more but you have to chase them down. Whatever. It's all done to prevent you from ordering more. There are absolutely no activities regardless of a bakery. Connect with nature? That has nothing to do with the fact that there are no activities for the kids.

I had lunch there, before paying I mentioned I want to have my food at their salon and even paid the 15% tip, food came in paper boxes!!!! It was not hot enough And when I complained the lady said you should have ordered three courses meal to be served in plates!!! And I didn’t have any idea about that at all!!!!! Super disappointed

The guy who explained everything was nice. However, for those who care about tasty food, stay away from this place! I have never eaten such bad food in my life! They didn't even make an effort to season it. It's a rip-off, selling tasteless cheap rubbish for a lot of money. I can't believe they also sell this garbage in their shops. They sell it as traditional menus for an "unforgettable experience". It definitely was an unforgettable experience in the worst way possible....!

My first cabane a sucre experience in Quebec. So glad it was here! The rural atmosphere of the place was very charming. The dining hall was so well done. The food was delicious and tasted really home-cooked. There was some live entertainment that was very interactive, at one point half the room was on their feet laughing and having fun. Amazing experience.

We are seriously in shock at its low rating and happy to give Sucrerie de la Montagne the five stars it right fully deserves! Honestly, after almost a week in Montreal, this was probably our favorite thing that we did and we're so glad that we drove the hour plus out of town for it. Their online system is not up to the 21st century, but we called a couple weeks earlier and easily made a reservation as well as a tour of the grounds. It's obviously post-tapping season, but the dining room still had plenty of tourists in it--although nothing compared to how packed the place must be when the season is in full swing. There was only one lady basically doing everything by herself, but she was just so uber sweet and earnest that she handled the tables and the check in and payment, etc. all so well. We absolutely adored her, and she did an excellent job showing us the sugar shack and explaining how the whole processed worked, etc. It's prix fixe for lunch, and it is A LOT of food. The table is already set in the most Canadian picturesque lodge that you could imagine and the pea soup that you start with tastes like a warm hug. It's served with freshly baked bread and you are just in the most surreal experience because everything is so lovely and cute and homey. After the soup, like a billion plates arrive to your table, and every single one is outstanding. Hot beans, every meat imaginable, potatoes, ham, sausages, an egg soufflé thing. Pair it with the three pickled items on the table. It's all so good! Is it going to be the greatest slice of meat pie you've ever had? No, but it really tastes like someone made it in the kitchen that morning, and maybe it's the gestalt of the experience, but damn, you are in HEAVEN. We could barely eat half of what we were given. But next is dessert! You get homemade pancakes and a sugar (maple pie) and now it's time to utilize the gargantuan bottle of maple syrup if you haven't already! It's more of a subtle/lighter taste than some of the stuff you're used to in the States, which is why we loved it so much. Swish it all down with some coffee and then walk over to the general store to buy syrup and souvenirs. Our complaint--and be forewarned--is that the maple candle they sell there is not unique to the Sucrerie (sold everywhere). All in all, we left this place floating down a river of maple syrup and even watched the Dirty Money episode of the syrup heist that night on Netflix (that ended up featuring this place!!!!). It's the first time on the trip that we really wished our daughter was with us because it was a special experience. We definitely want to come back to bring her here--especially during the winter months, which seems like it would be even more magical. Cinq etoilles!!!! Merci!!!!

"We don't need your business" attitude, overall rude and entitled staff with little exceptions. Awful food, but matching the staff attitude.

We came here on a weekday evening for supper. The place was not packed like your typical weekend brunch. The meal itself was satisfying (bacon, eggs, meatballs, sausage, beans, pea soup, mashed potatoes, pancakes, sugar pie etc.). If I had to rate the place only on the meal and indoor service it would've easily gotten 4 stars. Here's the not so positive part. For a place that labels itself as the "best cabane a sucre around" where it costs over 40$ a person, the final "tire d'érable" outdoors was a major letdown, the worst I've ever ever had. Our supper was at 7pm and we were the first ones out that evening at 830pm. They had plenty of time to prepare. The snow for the tire was not fresh nor did it look clean. The tire itself was not even warmed up. It was so cold and stiff, the young lady was unable to spread it properly on the snow. We had to wait an extra 15-20 mins for her to reheat the tire in a bucket of hot water. They were unprepared and when you are paying such a high price, this is simply unacceptable. The site/location itself is beautiful. But with the whole "tire d'érable" situation, I cannot recommend this place unless it is rectified. In the spirit continuous improvement, I hope they take this feedback constructively.

This is one of the few Maple Syrup Farms left that still does things the old fashioned way...The tradition of harvesting syrup by tapping the trees in the winter in snowshoes, collecting the sugar water into aluminum pails, adding water and heat from a wood fire below the boilers to boil the sugar water. So much hard work and LOVE go into this process. Every bottle of maple syrup that goes on the tables at Sucrerie de la Montagne comes from the trees on that property. The rest get drizzled onto the snow outside the shack that tells you all about the process. You haven't lived till you've rolled your stick into the hard sticky ball that forms on top of the snow and tasted its delicious natural sweetness! Just an hour WEST of Montreal, this is a beautiful afternoon that you will never forget. A real French Canadian experience. Make your reservation on-line or by phone call to secure a date and time. You don't have to pay till you arrive. It's about $100/family of 4. We also tipped our waiter Matthew $20 for taking such good care of us in the dining hall. The food in the dining hall is ALL-YOU -CAN -EAT and these guys mean it! With a guy on the fiddle, spoons and even a bandsaw people were tie tapping and dancing around. Outside there is a bakery, sweet shack, gift house and even games on busy days. Allow about 2-3 hours for the afternoon.

What a fantastic experience to have here at Sucrerie de la Montagne! We were in a group of 15 or so and took a party bus. Service of wine and bacon edibles in the lobby while waiting for our tour of the little village and syrup making process. All of it still done like the old days. Amazing! Fantastic host and service by family members in this private log cabin. Good food and live music to entertain us during dinner. This is an experience not to be missed!

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!

While the building and staff were irreproachable, the food was amongst the very worse I've had the displeasure of eating in a sugar shack. The split pea soup was a runny broth, the eggs were undercooked, the ham was tasteless and rubbery, the sausages were bland beef-and-pork, the baked beans were watery and oversweet, the meat pie was dry and could not be salvaged by the (otherwise adequate) homemade catsup, and the mashed potatoes were gritty and cold. There were no pork rinds offered (instead a pretty good thick bacon was out on the tables), and while you could get a small glass of milk on request - which takes a while - the traditional pitchers of milk were nowhere to be found. The actual maple syrup was pretty good (I was told it was made on the premises as it should), but could not save the meal from utter mediocrity.

Contrary to what many of the other reviewers have said, we had a wonderful time dining at La Sucrerie de la Montagne. We found the setting to be truly beautiful, and really transported you to another time and place, and the service to be warm and friendly. The food was delicious and plentiful, and were offered more when we had scraped our plates clean. I (from NZ) loved the introduction to some new quebecois food and traditions, and my partner (Montreal born and raised) found it to be very nice and was impressed by their version of traditional food. The price is truly not expensive for what you get, which is essentially a huge 3 course meal, plus the atmosphere, and other activities offered at peak times (horse sleigh, tire sure la neige, tour of the shops etc). It is an experience just as much as a meal, and is very fairly priced. We would love to come again.

Here's another one where I'm caught like a deer in the headlights: I'm not sure how to score the experience, although it was interesting enough to want to score it high - maybe a 4 star, but I was unprepared for the cost of it which would have scored it low! But I absolutely have to say something here because it was so worth the visit once, anyway! We were invited by friends to go visit a sugar shack, but only after agreeing did we find out that it was to be in Rigaud which is over 1 hour's drive for us, just over the Quebec border (our friends live in Ottawa too; it was clear once they mentioned it that we would be meeting some of their family who would also be driving in... from Montreal! How fun is that? So, the company was good, to start with). The Sucrerie de la Montagne is really promoting their farm as a business which is open to the public, and with the sap running through the maples at this time of year, they are really doing it in big style! It seems they are well prepared for it, making the visit well worthwhile. They offer sleigh rides up and down the long driveway, pulled by a pair of friendly brown horses. It seems to me that Quebeckers really know how to embrace winter, and it is no different here! They have created a little village on this farm, with small cabins on each side of the long driveway. Some of these are for rent overnight (quite reasonably so, as I understand it), while one was set up as a boulangerie, and another distributed a "tire sur neige" (a maple syrup lollypop!), and yet another represented a store. The gentleman who owns the property is quite a character, himself! He has a full beard, and he dresses in traditional clothing, including the traditional Quebec woven sash. A painting of him was posted in the great hall, so there was no mistaking him as he was walking around greeting people! Everyone we met was warm and friendly. First of all and on the upside, you get into the dining hall, and you are greeted by beautifully set tables with china and glassware. This is unexpected for a sugar shack! Then their breakfast does not only include pancakes and syrup, but ALSO: delicious home-made pickles (I was sorry I had to share the jar!) and beats, bacon, sausage, tourtière, meatballs, sliced ham, bread, good coffee... did I get everything? I'm not even sure! The breakfast is all you can eat, and is served by a very busy wait staff. Unfortunately, they were barely able to keep pace with demand. There is live music on one side of the great hall, and the absolutely most humungous fireplace on the opposite wall - I've seen bedrooms that were smaller! There was a fire blazing in the back of the fireplace, literally 6 feet away which threw a staggering heat at us. The band was very lively and loud. The noise in the place was raucous! On the downside: they charge nearly $40 per person! It was hard to get second helpings, and they didn't bring enough plates or enough food for our large party (they ran out of pancakes so we asked for a 2nd plate, which was a while in coming...) YIKES! And although the tasty maple syrup they served at breakfast was also offered for sale in the store, it cost about $30 per litre. Also a downer was that in the dining hall (the "great hall"), the tables were really wooden picnic benches stacked end to end, two at a time, around the outside of the room. It gets very crowded in here. When you were seated, and the tables beside you also were seated, it was virtually impossible to get up and get out of your seat. Worse than that, you are back to back with the people behind you. It was so close that at one point. I reached back to pull down my sweater, but I grabbed the person behind me in error! I did apologize, and she was graceful about it, but I was very embarrassed. I'm no pickpocket but it would have been very easy in this situation! And this is no place for a vegetarian! Not enough choices for those of us who don't eat meat. I will try to post pictures, if I can. Will I be back? Not likely any time soon, but I would recommend it once for anyone looking for such a fun experience.

Sucrerie de la Montagne is in my view one of the best sugar shacks around Mtl. The surroundings are beautiful. Developed just enough to enjoy but without the "commercial" feeling you get at other sugar shacks. The food is simply delish and includes all of the cabane a sucre classics. La tourtière is included in the price (vs other places where you have to pay extra). Desert consists of pancakes, sugar pie & la tire served outside. Enjoy!

Its a great location, maple syrup fantastic. Fun family outing. Paid 39$ for a ticket. Which seemed kind of pricey for what you get. 39$ included 1 horse buggy ride,tour of bakery and maple syrup production/maple on snow and breakfast which is your standard cabane a sucre foods. I ate there home made chow chow "tomato relish" was very tasty. Home made pickles and beets. Also had baked eggs and beans. Home made bread was great. Amazingly tasty pea soup. I was told a vegetarian menu option was available. However i waited for veggie pie for over Half an hour. My friends had eaten the meat balls "ragout boulet" mashed boiled potatoes,tourtière,ham,sausage,pancakes,and bacon of course. Servers didn't really bring food all at once i didn't even have a plate at one time. Really bad service and felt rushed. high volume kind of place they serve 1400-1600 people a day i was told. Waitress was terrible and slow and couldn't speak english. Cutlery was gross and dirty. Very loud, live music was a fiddler that played for 5 mins and was sort of annoying. Maple cream pie fantastic! Buy some to take home. Also great organic beers available. The 1 horse ride was not available because horses were tired well then have more horses to divide the work up!! I paid 39$ for that to be included and they said we had to wait almost 2 hours! What a rip off! Plus my friends kids were crying. If you reserve and have vegetarians as your guests make sure to tell them so they have the option of veggie pie.

Had a really great time here with my son. Visited in the off season. Spent the night and got breakfast. Stefan was an awesome host. He showed us around the place and in the morning gave us the history place and explained the maple processing steps. Quite interesting to learn about this place's origins and how maple sugar, maple butter and maple syrup are made. Accommodations were rustic but well appointed. The fireplace in our cabin was incredible. After a hearty breakfast we went on a really nice hike/walk on a trail that ran right behind our cabin and goes for many kilometers. Highly recommended.

Adding in an old review - we visited here in the summer, on the way from Ottawa to Montreal. They were setting up for a wedding in one of the rooms later. They didn't have dinner available, but we were able to get pancakes and the maple syrup that they make here. So you can't do everything all year round here, but it was a nice visit.

We had a fantastic experience at the Sucrerie De La Montagne! The property is so beautiful and idyllic. Everything about this sucrerie is done perfectly. Inside the dining room, it is meticulously decorated and you feel as though you are immersed in history. Tables are also set up outside under lights which allow for physical distancing during these times. We were greeted by "Winter" the dog and were provided with a history of the sucrerie by the kind and welcoming owner. We bought a sugar pie, chocolate toffee and maple cookies in which we ate right away and were delicious. We also purchased some maple syrup and other gift items such as a stuffed dog for my daughter. I can only imagine how great of a venue the Sucrerie would be for a wedding. Thank you again for such a wonderful afternoon.

No No No No. What a tourist trap. Expectation: All you can eat brunch, plates over flowing with classic Quebecois food like pork rinds, beans, giant pancakes smothered in maple syrup. Also an experience that will transport you to another time. Reality: Paid $40+ per person for -Split pea soup - thin & dry meat pies - tasteless ham and breakfast sausages - mashed potatoes, beans - tasteless steamed egg loaf - small thin, plain coaster sized pancakes NO bacon, NO pork rinds and NO jam! Believe me, I asked. What breakfast place does not have any kind of jam? This experience sure did transport me to another time: It's 1930s and there is a famine. The only redeeming factor was the company I had. I would say do not go in the summer off-season if you can help it, it's not worth it without the maple taffy on snow they have in the winter. Also we did not get a horse carriage ride, because they did not have enough people book a head of time. The service was terrible, the older lady in charge (often the only one there) seems to not care too much about the customers, moving slowly and painting her nails while talking to us. She didn't even bother to look up from her nails when we asked her for directions on the way out.

There are plenty of touristy areas around southeastern Canada, but if you'd prefer something much more traditionally Canadian, this syrup farm is a great choice if you're visiting the area. I believe you're officially supposed to make a reservation, but my group kind of just showed up to the restaurant and the hostess seated us right away. We were treated to their traditional sugar shack meal which included 3 courses. The appetizer was their delicious split pea soup of which I had 2 bowls with their homemade complimentary bread. The main course provided a ton of options: omelette, sausage, bacon, meat pie, meatballs, mashed potatoes, and maple baked beans. And for dessert, incredible crepes and maple sugar pie. Oh, it's all you can eat. Everything was homemade and authentic. One downside is the price, about $40 per person. But this experience of the roots of traditional Canada is well worth it in my opinion.

Sucrerie isn't just a restaurant...it's more of an experience. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a gentleman (who appeared to be the owner) who insisted on taking us into the restaurant on a horse carriage. The setting was completely breathtaking with the lush green foliage and clear, crisp air - a much needed change from the smog clouds in LA. The restaurant was nicely decorated with local flowers (I'm not sure if this comes as part of the restaurant or if it was something that the bride/groom had added for the rehearsal dinner) and candles. Shortly after arriving, a gentleman got up on stage and sang various french songs (classics), in addition to some classic rock songs (CCR, Sweet Home Alabama). I wasn't exactly sure what genre of music he specialized in...or what his point was for the evening, but in a weird way, he added a nice touch to the evening. At one point, he had various individuals on stage partaking in dancing, singing and various other ridiculous activities...but one thing was clear - everyone was having a good time. The food on the other hand was another story. My meal included the following: split pea soup, eggs, sausage, meat pie, mashed potatoes, ham and for dessert, we had pancakes with maple syrup. In case you were wondering...this was a rehearsal dinner for a wedding and not breakfast. I was totally confused as to the food situation and what the overall theme was...but what the heck. We've got a random guy singing songs from Edith Piaf to CCR...and I've got pancakes on my plate. Totally random with no rhyme or reason. But like I said, I had a good time. Overall, the service was great...the food was a bit "confusing"...and the ambiance and setting were spectacular. It was definitely an experience I will never forget.

It's a sweet old school experience with maple dripping from the trees outside and more food than you can shake a stick at. The only shaking you'll do though is from sugar shock. The only issue is the sound. Our entire meal a group of youth from Massachusetts were led in songs, dancing the Macarena, and playing the spoons. Also a conga line. I get that kids need to be entertained but the experience was painful to the point where we could hardly speak to one another and the passing kids occasionally nudged us while we ate. The atmosphere here is so great and warm that it was a real shame and given the price felt like a bit of a waste to drive so far to spend an hour annoyed. (There's more than one dining room as well, so perhaps ask if this sort of thing is happening and you can be seated elsewhere. On our visit these rooms, while lit up, were unavailable).

OMG!!! Visited here in 2017. The most rewarding experience. The dinner was delicious. The waitresses were friendly. We got a tour of the farm. The bread is baked in a stone earth oven. Definitely a place to visit and you will not be disappointed. My mouth dropped open as I entered the dining area and saw the ambiance of the room. Very warm and comforting.

This is the only Sucerie I have ever visited; but the experience was absolutely wonderful. Our host was Stefan, who was gracious, good-humoured, and very knowledgeable. Our group visited for lunch and the food was excellent (the menu options can be a bit limited for anyone with a gluten intolerance). This is a family-run establishment with lodging on site and hiking/snowshoeing/cross-country skiing trails (we only visited for the day), and I would definitely recommend as part of a visit to the Montreal area.

I'm pretty particular about my food, but it was definitely better than I expected! The server was super nice, he gave us a tour of the maple syrup making room and told us all about how it gets made! Great place to bring kids! Recommended activity if you are in the Montreal area!

What a wonderful experience this was! My good friend in Montreal thought it would be fun to take me here, and I'm glad that she did. The food was delicious! The carriage ride was entertaining, and the music was perfect for dancing. Make sure that your whole day is blocked off this event; it takes time to get seated and do the whole tour of the sugar shack.

The food was delicious and the surroundings were incredible. Felt like it was 1920 and we were having dinner after a hard day in the forest gathering the sap.

Nice place to enjoy the unique ambiance of French canadian maple grove

With regards to having your wedding there... Trust me this is the most beautiful country venue you could have. But the service and customer relations are very VERY poor. The food which was supposed to be all you can eat is delicious, but there was not enough food for all my guests. Perhaps they are not well equipped for large wedding groups but then they shouldn't have taken the booking which was done almost a year in advance! There was a list of other issues that happened over the weekend as well; broken fridge in the house that was rented (It never worked, this should have been checked before renting out; we lost food) Personal items including my left over wedding cake which I was assured would be kept in the freezer for me until I came back from my honeymoon, was lost or thrown out. There is obviously terrible management which causes a lack of communication amongst the employees which equals bad service. I wrote two letters to the Sucrerie to explain these issues, seeing as it was a busy night and perhaps they were unaware. The first letter was replied with a quick mention that they were having a meeting in a week and would discuss it then and get back to me. 3 weeks later after hearing more bad reviews from guests who went hungry at an all you can eat wedding and still no word from management, I sent a second letter. My second letter was responded in defense mode and filled with accusations towards myself and wedding party. Keep in mind that in neither letter had I asked for a refund or anything of the sort. I cannot believe that a simple ``I'm sorry`` was never once said.

Ambiance & food are great! Loved that there are options for vegetarians too. My meat loving friends said the bacon was the best. My highlights were the jars of pickled food at the table and the sugar pie. The reasons it's only getting a 3 star is because of the long the wait to get tickets, which seems like it could be reduced if they opened the second window. Also, being squished 12 people to a table that shouldn't have more then 8 made eating awkward because everyone was elbowing each other. Worst is that there were some racially offensive trinkets in the gift shop that need to go...

Okay, it was pretty cool. The setting was amazing. So much food I thought I was going to be sick. Go there if you like to freebase maple syrup.

Service was good and attentive. The food was good. Baked beans, sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, mash potatoes, meat balls, fresh bread, ham slices. All you can eat. Nothing outstanding, but basic food. The cost was $28 + tax. Add tip , and that meal runs about $38 each person. You have to drive to the site , around 140 km round trip. For me, not worth it.

We had a "reservation" for 1 P.M. We arrived at 12:50 only to find out we'd have to stand in line to buy tickets. (Tickets? I came for a restaurant not a theme park!) Well 30 minutes later we were about 50th in line and the line hadn't moved an inch. No one bothered to tell us what was going on. What's the point of having a reservation if it's not going to be honored?!! We ended up leaving, frustrated after having driven over 100 km just for this experience. Oh by the way, we first went to the restaurant and saw it was near empty. Surprising since they had told us they were booked up at 12.

First impression- crazy crowded! We came on Friday of the long weekend, the reservation we made was for 1pm, but we actually sat down after 2 pm. More than 1hour was spent waiting in the line to buy a ticket to enter the restaurant, and waiting at the the door of the restaurant for a free table. The fact that we made a reservation ( and we made it because my parents really can not stand in line for long) made no difference, it is the same line for everyone at the door. They said that " this was a bad day" but it doesn't make much difference for us, right?) Then we were sat at the table for 12, with another group, way too tight. Food- bread is good,everything else is very average. I was surprised to see that they serve the same amount of food for 4, 5 or 6 people. We asked for more bread, water, but it takes time for them to serve you. I guess that was also only because today was the bad day for them, but for us it was the only day that mattered. Finally- it is completely overpriced. This quality and the amount of food is certainly not worth almost 40 $ per person. The only thing I liked is the music. It could be an ok experience if they would honor the reservations they take and if they would make sitting at tables less crowded. still, the food was really not worth it. Eggs omelet- too oily, meat-pie- dry, ham- what is special about the ham! I wanted to show my parents, who live in Croatia, something uniquely Quebecois , big mistake. Waste of our time and money.
