Le Shack Restaurant is a popular destination located in the heart of the Tremblant ski village, celebrated primarily for its lively atmosphere, rustic decor, and convenient access to the slopes. While opinions on the food are mixed, with many patrons enjoying hearty pub staples like burgers, poutine, and nachos, others find the pricing high and the quality occasionally inconsistent. The service experiences vary significantly, ranging from exceptional and attentive staff who elevate the dining visit to instances of long wait times and unresponsive service. Despite some polarising reviews regarding value and consistency, many guests appreciate the outdoor patio, the cozy mountain vibes, and the ability to accommodate groups, making it a reliable spot for a casual meal or an après-ski break.
We had a little bit of time to get some food before a mountain activity. The service was slow to get in & then also slow to take our order. The order wasn't 100% accurate, but I should say that once I told them we were in a hurry, they did bring the food out quickly. The poutine was decent, the nachos were average & the ceasar salad was pretty good as well. All items definately subject to the tourist tax (in addition to the legit 15% tax on everything, plus an additional 3% for something else).. But that's everywhere there. Overall, the experience was pleasant & eating outside on the mountain is always great.
What a great experience. We were a table of 26 people! Our waitress, Isabelle, was outstanding. She handled all 26 people, including 14 children, without really any help at all (aside from the kid who dropped a poutine on us...accidents happen).
She was like a drill sergeant. She made 6 separate checks for 6 separate families. Took orders by family. Even split appetizers across multiple checks. 26 people & just a breeze to order & pay separately. Really impressive.
The food was fine. Drinks were fine. Some things better than others. It's a bar on the mountain, so don't get the Greek salad with salmon, get the burger or poutine or both. The kids liked the chicken tenders, pasta, mac & cheese, & burger.
Smoked meat poutine was solid. Not the best ever , but still pretty good. Would get it again.
Worth noting....kids meals are super small. I should've ordered adult meals for my kids & they are not big eaters. I ended up having to order 2 kids meals for each of them (I hate 32 CAD of plain pasta...but that's on me, not them).
Food was good, we had burgers & poutine. A little disappointing the gravy was not hot enough to melt the curd. Quebec being known for poutine & being in a ski village I expected a higher caliper on the basic poutine. Burgers great, add ons very expensive, & calamari was okay but I wasn't expecting it to be fantastic.
Nous avons mangé vers 14h dans ce restaurant. Le service s'est très bien passé. Il est rapide. Nous avons choisi la poutine au porc effiloché. Une merveille ! Je vous la recommande les yeux fermés. La quantité est plus que généreuse. Le goût est incroyable. Le restaurant est situé en plein coeur de la station de mont-tremblant.
Nous y avons mangé notre première poutine & nous avons adoré
Le potage est copieux & délicieux, ainsi que les autres plats que nous avons pris
La personne qui nous a servi était agréable & chaleureuse
This place is awesome! Visited during the Blues Festival, while the Resort Village was hopping. The service was awesome (Gen Bou is super-fun), & the food was great. We had the Club sandwich (with poutine upgrade), & the Flying Mile Chicken Sandwich, & they were both great. The Chocolate Cake melts in your mouth.
There is a nice selection of Québec craft beers, & the staff made great recommendations. The patio has a super-cool vibe!
Take the one-star reviews with a MASSIVE grain of salt. This place is a GEM!
