Sugar Shack

Review Summary

Erablière La Goudrelle offers a large, family friendly sugar shack experience with a dance floor, a play area for kids, animals, and both buffet and table service, making it a popular spot for groups and day trips. The desserts are frequently praised and the maple taffy is a highlight, along with dishes like pea soup, ham and breakfast potatoes, while the staff are described as welcoming and friendly.

For others the value is mixed, with the price considered reasonable for an all you can eat format but gluten free options limited and overall quality not always meeting expectations, especially compared with past years.
