Sucrerie des Gallant

Rigaud/Sainte-Marthe

Review Summary

Reviews for Sucrerie des Gallant praise the food and say the experience is superb year after year, yet a first visit included a disappointing service with cold pea soup served at the table and a buffet where the dishes were very cold after long waits. The atmosphere is described as not really a sugar shack vibe but more like a small fast food place. The maple candy is made outside on a cold table, and the overall feel is considered ordinary rather than special. With tax and tip, the per person price did not feel worth the money, and some reviewers say they would not return.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviews describe Sucrerie de la Montagne as a picturesque, family run sugar shack set in a forest, with rustic chalets, a warm traditional ambiance, and a strong maple heritage. Visitors frequently praise the delicious homemade dishes, generous maple syrup and taffy, and the chance to tour the production process, often noting friendly staff and, in many cases, live music that creates a welcoming, authentic atmosphere. Yet opinions are mixed, with several reports of overcrowded dining spaces, long waits, and variable food quality for the price, especially during peak times or when menus feel limited. Some reviewers mention online reservation hassles and tipping practices, while others value the capacity to explore trails, shop for local products, and stay on site. Overall, the setting and maple experience are the main draws, but consistency in service and value seems to depend on season and crowd levels.View restaurant profile

Sugar Shack Canadian

Review Summary

At L'Erablière Du Ruisseau, reviews describe good quality food with highlights like beans and sausages, bacon and ham, and pouding chômeur, though the sugar pie is said to lack flavor and portions can feel small for the price. The buffet format can require long waits for the pea soup and bread arrives cold. The dining room is often crowded and ambience is quiet with no background music on most nights, though chansonniers perform on Fridays and Saturdays and some guests would welcome a light soundtrack. Overall, impressions are mixed, with some noting a better experience elsewhere and others unsure about returning, while desserts vary and the value per person seems to fall short of expectations.View restaurant profile
