Reviews paint Cidrerie Lacroix as a warm, bright spot ideal for brunch, family gatherings and celebrations, with a picturesque orchard that makes apple picking a central part of the experience. Guests consistently praise the friendly, knowledgeable staff, the wide range of ciders and the meals that use fresh ingredients and thoughtful flavor pairings. The venue is repeatedly described as excellent for weddings and other events, with smooth planning, attentive service and food that arrives hot and well presented. Brunch is a frequent highlight, featuring eggs Benedict on house made bread, crepes, pancakes and other dishes, along with cider pairings, while the atmosphere is noted as elegant and relaxed. Some critiques mention the dining room warmth, changes to the menu affecting certain dishes, occasional delays and pricing that some feel does not always match portions, and a few operational hiccups like flies or slower coffee service. Overall the consensus emphasizes top quality cider and cuisine, friendly staff and a memorable experience that makes visitors want to return.
If you are looking for something different, the Bistro restaurant at Verger Lacroix is the place for you. Their restaurant has a'greenhouse' vibe as it is fully surrounded by glass window panes, ceiling to floor, which gives out to their apple orchard. The view is beautiful & serene. The Bistro is opened year round & not just for'apple season' in the Fall. We went for Sunday brunch. The brunch offering is very nice but if brunch is not your thing, they have a full lunch & dinner menu. While we were waiting for our meals, we tried their'mimosas' which they pair with a nice slightly dry cider. Our meals arrived shortly thereafter (crêpes & eggs Benedict which were delicious!) which we then paired with their Chai cider (if you love your Chai tea, this cider is for you!) & a light rose pedal seasonal cider. The service was great & the menu price point was very good. As an added bonus, they give you a 10% discount to buy products in their boutique (wide variety of ciders, apple butters, apple caramel, apple jellies, BBQ spices, etc. & my absolute favorite, a shallot confit, all made in their kitchen by their chef) which we took advantage of. I can go on & on but why don't you discover the Bistro at Verger Lacroix for yourself. If you are looking for a place to eat for brunch without going to one of those restaurant chains or looking for a place for lunch or dinner, go try Verger Lacroix. They won't disappoint! You can consult their menu & reserve your place on their website.
Avis sur le restaurant // Les plats proposés était un peu décevant. Belle présentation, mais c'est pas ça l'important pour les papilles. Le menu en plus de manquer un peu de variété, il manquait des ingrédients. On a pas pu goûter à notre premier choix. Les prix sur le menu était inexacte, Mimo-cidre affiché à 6$ & sur la facture à 8$. On nous à dit que nous avions reçu le mauvais menu pour expliquer la situation 😅 au lieu d'appliquer la loi sur l'exactitude de prix.
Avis sur la boutique // Beaucoup de choix de divers produits. Leur cidre est bon. Avec preuve de la facture du restaurant on a le droit à un rabais en boutique.
En conclusion, je ne recommande pas le restaurant, mais acheter leur produits locaux reste une bonne recommandation.

Great overall experience during the apple picking season. The apple orchard is well organized & clean. (The picking schedules are also available on their website). The bistro had great unique brunch options. I also recommend the cider tasting. The service was top notch. The servers knew their ciders very well. They also have fast-food style eating options. They were also grilling burgers outside. Boutique/shop seemed a little picey but they had some interesting apple-based items. (The BBQ sauce & Dry Rub are great). They also recently extended the'park' area for children.
Nous sommes venu manger deux fois lors de notre visite au Canada & nous avons adoré. Que cela soit au niveau du repas ou du service cela était parfait avec des produits de qualités.
Une belle découverte que l'on conseille.
A la boutique vous trouvez de bons produits & de bons souvenirs à rapporter chez vous .
Unfortunately the bistro was closed today & therefore, I can't comment on this. However, the surroundings are incredibly charming. This calls me to put it on my must visit again list. A small boutique onsite sells their proper ciders as well as other products from local vendors. Apples, of course are sold here as well.
La Cidrerie Lacroix est notre endroit de prédilection, à mon conjoint & moi pour profiter de la saison des pommes. Nous adorons profiter des vergers & de la cueillette, & nous faisons toujours un détour par le bistro & la boutique. Le personnel est incroyablement sympathique, toujours de bonne humeur & courtois, & les produits sont d'une immense qualité.
Jeudi le 29 août, accompagné de ma conjointe & de 2 amis, j'ai découvert la cuisine du Bistro. De l'apéro (mocktail spritz) au dessert (le Décadent aux pommes caramel), tout était plus que délicieux. Nous avons eu un service hors pair de la serveuse. 5 étoiles sans aucune hésitation. Si vous cherchez des idées cadeaux, pour vous même ou pour d'autres, gardez-vous du temps pour visiter la boutique; elle offre plein de beaux produits. C'est certain que nous y retournerons.

Le déjeuner était excellent! OEufs bénédictines au saumon, à se jeter par terre! Difficile de ne pas se laisser tenter à la boutique. J'ai acheté un délicieux caramel aux pommes & de la sangria.
We had a lovely walk in the orchards with the trees in bloom(mid May) followed by a lunch on the terrace.Menu has locally sourced food with enough options to accommodate most people.Service was good. The bistro seemed to make an effort to be sustainable. The boutique offered us a 10% discount as we had eaten at the bistro. The whole place is very clean. For anyone Immune compromised the ventilation in the gift shop was excellent.We went on a Thursday at 11 ish & the terrace was empty.
Nous étions un groupe de 7 qui célébrait un anniversaire. La décoration est magnifique & l'atmosphère agréable. L'endroit est lumineux. Le service a été hors pair. A part le Mac&Cheese un peu sec, tout était très bon. & la boutique a des produits invitants ! Nous recommandons l'endroit. Merci !

Cuisine raffinée & succulente, nous avons très bien mangé. Portions généreuses & belle présentation. Les serveuses étaient très courtoises & attentionnées. L'endroit est joliment décoré & aéré puisque les tables sont espacées & le plafond très haut. Nous avons trouvé intéressant de pouvoir acheter nos produits coup de coeur par la suite à la boutique. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir. Merci pour tout!
Très bel accueil. Boutique & salle de réception magnifique. J'ai été pour un événement avec plus de 100 invités. Nous avons reçu une service impeccable & avec le sourire. Merci
Je tenais à vous dire un gros merci pour votre accueil, je suis aller déjeuner avec ma fille ce matin & son chien d assistance, gens souriants & tellement sympathique, que dire de vos repas. Simplement délicieux ça goûte le ciel. J en ai profité pour passer à votre boutique me gâté de quelques un de vos produits. Une autre visite s impose . Merci encore

C'était notre première fois, & ce ne sera pas la dernière! Mention spéciale à notre serveuse qui connaissait très bien ses produits, le repas était FABULEUX, & la petite boutique parfaite! J'y suis allée en sortie mère-fils lors de sa journée pédagogique.
I am a regular visitor to the Lacroix cider house & it is a very nice place. It is very nice, spacious & with a simple & elegant decoration. It has a very nice staff, who offers an excellent service. Their menu is not very extensive but the food is good. Obviously their cider is very nice & is made by them with the delicious apples that they harvest.
They have a very nice little bar in the middle of the room & there is a small tasting table to try their different ciders.
I love their Indoor Boutique which has a magnificent variety of products for all tastes. Its outdoor area is fantastic & sitting on the terrace is a very pleasant experience since the view is beautiful 👌
In conclusion, it is very worth visiting this beautiful place & enjoying a really pleasant moment in the company of family &/or friends.
Small. Not many activities to do. I used a tuango voucher & they sort of made the experience difficult. First I stood in line at the out door cash with voucher in hand. When I finally reached the checkout, I was told I had to go to the boutique inside. Wait in line again & was told to go talk to a woman at the other counter. No English for starters & the lady seemed to not know how to handle the vouchers. I was there for half an out before I even got to start picking apples. Then half the orchard was roped off as closed So I could not even get the apples I wanted. There were some rabbits, goats & chickens in a shed. 1$ to feed the goats corn seed. That was a cute moment. After all that I went to the boutique. I spent a bomb on stuff. One thing I bought though was maple syrup. The next day while doing groceries I found the same syrup for much cheaper at my local grocery store. The apple cheddar bread was inconsistent but good. I would buy that again. I have been to many Apple picking places. I try to go to a few each year. Never went to one so small or with such a weird way of doing things.
Nice concept of boutique, restaurant, outdoor eating area & cider tasting booths, main building is brand new & very clean. Cider is awesome, great variety of apples, although Spartan, Cortlands & Empires are only available very end of September. Overall, great place to spend a day outdoors with friend or family. Where it's loosing a star is that service is slow, & there is an entry fee of 4$. It's like paying to have the priviledge of buying something...feels a little abusive. We might come back when my favorite apples are ready & have breakfast here to try the restaurant, but I feel, jsut for the entry fee, it might not be a keeper for me.
Nous avons mangé sur place & avons été cueillir des pommes après.
Le service était excellent & tous les employés avec qui nous avons parlé étaient souriants, sympatiques & efficaces.
La nourriture était très bonne avec une portion raisonnable pour le prix. Environ 70$ avant pourboire pour 2 plats au brunch avec 2 cafés flat white & dégustation de 4 cidres. L'ambiance était extrêmement bruyante à l'intérieur & l'attente des plats un peu longue, mais une bonne expérience malgré ça.
Pour les pommes, c'est 2$ pour un sac réutilisable (on peut emmener nos propres sacs), 4$/personne pour l'entrée & 1,25$/lb de pommes cueillies pesé à la sortie. Ça nous a donc coûté 2 + 8 + 15 = 25$ pour remplir le sac fourni sur place.
Un tracteur nous emmène au bon endroit pour la cueillette & il y a quelques jeux pour enfants + une fermette avec animaux. Une belle boutique bien garnie de produits de la pomme nous attend à la sortie.
