Review Summary

At Cabane du Pic Bois, visitors describe the guided tour as disappointing and too short for the price, with little of the production process visible since the production period had ended. There is a sense that a real guided tour was promised, but the experience shows an empty setup and raises questions about being charged for a tour that lacks production elements; if production continues, the tour should not be charged or should end with the production area. Overall, this is seen as a misrepresentation that harms the customer experience and the place is not recommended. No meals are offered there, only crepes and maple taffy on snow. The access path to the hut is not appealing and requires good tires, with a sign halfway to avoid confusion. A bottle of maple syrup is praised as very good, while at times no staff were present on site, and the maple butter is described as the best in the universe.View restaurant profile

Food receives a mixed verdict: portions are generous and desserts such as pouding chomeur and tarte au sucre are often highlighted, but some main dishes are not top notch and items like bacon and ham can be tough; the maple sugar on snow is sometimes not as good as expected. Still, the overall experience is considered enjoyable, clean, and family oriented, with lots of activities for kids, a friendly atmosphere, and good value for groups, leading many to plan a return or to make it an annual outing, possibly comparing with other sugar shacks but staying attracted by this option.View restaurant profile
