Review Summary

Le Lafrance Bistro offers a picturesque orchard and a wide range of apple based products, with on-site tastings and a shop carrying items from cider and brandy to pastries and breads. Families and friends can enjoy a self-pick apple orchard, a spacious area for picnics, a playground, animals, and live music, while visitors describe the setting as beautiful and welcoming with friendly staff. The bistro provides a sugar shack style menu and meals that many reviewers praise for being delicious and generous, along with a good view from the dining area. Reviewers highlight the fried apple doughnuts as a standout and note the tasting in the shop as tasty, with a variety of products to take home. However, some criticisms appear about crowds and a more commercial feel, with an entrance fee for apple picking, extra charges for bags, and price concerns for some foods and drinks. Service quality is described as mixed, with several praising attentive staff and knowledgeable guides, while others report delays during peak times or lapses in service. Overall, Le Lafrance Bistro is seen as a family friendly and vibrant destination for apple lovers, local treats, and a lively atmosphere, best experienced early in the season or on weekdays to avoid crowds.

A large orchard with a wide variety of apples. It's especially worth mentioning that their brandy tastes great.

It is a very nice place, it is very organized & has many playgrounds within the orchard. It has many apple varieties & the ones we picked are sweet/delicious. The people that work there are very nice & my family & I enjoyed going there.

Excellent locations, tons of apple varieties & well suited for kids & families of all ages. Tractor rides (included) for the young & old. I'd recommend getting a loaner wagon once you come in, apple bags get heavy quickly! Apple donuts are fantastic! Start with a stop at the bakery (just feet before the entrance) & grab an apple cider & apple donut. You won't regret it. Some of the best apples are at the back of the orchard, consult the maps all over the site & seek out some of the varieties you haven't heard of as much. Adults, take a quick visit to the distillery at the top of the hill & try some of the great spirits they make there, it's well worth your time to stop in & taste. All in all highly enjoyable, expect to spend about 2-3 hours here.

Beautiful orchard on a hill top providing amazing views of the rural landscape & Montreal from afar. Great varieties of apples to pick from. Small goat farm & plenty of activities for children & adults!

Huge place, huge orchard! Delicious apple donuts. It was very very packed though, I presume due to the popularity of their orchard, donuts & distillery!

First time coming to this orchard, & the only word that comes to mind is WOW! It's so beautiful & so clean. There are about 8 rows of parking, a lot of playgrounds for the children, a little farm area with goats, a store to buy the apples products, & a bistro. They have a big tractor to bring into the rows of the apple or plum orchard. In between the trees, there is a playground, if the kids get bored of picking the fruits, a trash can, & in some areas, there is a "john on the spot" (toilet). After picking the apples, we bought apple slushy & fresh apple donuts (which were delicious), & we sat at one of the many picnic tables & let the kids free in the play structures. There is a fee of 4$ for people over the age of 12 years & a price per bag (price varies with the sizes of bags). All in all, we had a great time!
