The Resto-Bar Le Shack with its unique and authentic mountain cabin décor has earned a reputation over the last 10 years for being the most popular and entertaining restaurant and bar of the mountain.
A diversified and seasonally based menu including a children`s menu, offer great choices for all palates. A fabulous breakfast buffet is also served in season. With its efficient service and high quality standards of its meals, Le Shack endeavors to delivery great food experiences that are second to none.
Le Shack Restaurant comes across as a popular, lively apres ski spot in the heart of the village with a rustic, cozy vibe and a terrace that offers great views; the location is repeatedly cited as a major draw. Service is frequently praised for friendliness and attentiveness, with several experiences of quick, efficient staff, though some visits report slow or inconsistent service and a few rude moments. The food gets mixed signals but leans toward solid pub fare, with many dishes like poutine, burgers, nachos, fajitas, fish and chips, and mac and cheese described as tasty or excellent, while a handful of meals are rated average or overpriced for the setting. Ambiance and atmosphere are consistently highlighted as a strength, from warm fireplaces to a lively, buzzed mood after skiing, and outdoor seating that enhances the Tremblant experience. Crowds and wait times can be substantial during peak hours, and a few reviews mention cleanliness or bathroom upkeep as areas for improvement. Overall, Le Shack Restaurant is viewed as a convenient, reliable spot for a casual meal or drink with friends after a day on the mountain, delivering good value for the area when the service is on point and the kitchen keeps pace, with many guests planning to return for the burgers, poutines, and the vibrant scene.
This was my favorite restaurant for a die-for poutine in the past 2 years. I gave 5 stars & came at least twice a year, but no more. Something changed, they either have a new owner, or new menu or new cook, or no cook at all. The meals we ordered came exceptionally fast - most likely previously prepared & only heated up. If that is the case, that poutine I ordered came lukewarm, & the cheese didn't melt even a bit. The ordered adult hamburger was miniature in size... It's definitely not worth the money paid for it. The 3rd meal ordered was vegan salad... nothing spectacular, & the person didn't enjoy it either. The waiter came with a machine to pay even before we asked for it. She looked the screen to see how much was the tip selected (15%) & even didn't say thank you at the end. Therefore, it will be no next time in this restaurant, will go somewhere else next time.

Sometimes you have to stop & consider the location of where the restaurant is in order to make a fair assessment, so I will keep that in mind for my review. This restaurant was located right at the base of the luge track, so it is nicely located. Now, when you consider the location you can expect to pay a little more for the meal as...well.... location, location, location. But the prices weren't that far out of touch with a restaurant in the city. $22-29 for a burger is not out of the norm these days. The food was good, & we enjoyed it. The burger was ok. In that I mean, it tasted good & fresh, but it wasn't anything to text home about (sorry for you youngers, that is a play on anything to write home about...like you know a letty, no not an email, a letter you would put in a mailbox...you know what, never mind let's move on). The brisket mac & cheese was a really good size portion (don't let the picture fool you) & tasted so good. Their broiled it just before they served it, so the cheese had a nice crispyness to it. The other two burgers lined up the same as above, & were good but not knocking your socks off. Now, the poutine upgrade was very reasonable for $4. There was a good amount of cheese & the gravy was good. Now, let's talk about the fries. They were ok, I guess. Now, we are a dry snob family & will drive an hour or two for a good fry truck, but these fries just didn't hit the mark. They were thin, which is fine, but they were overcooked. Not crispy overcooked, like Sat in the oil too long overcooked. They weren't super hot either. Oh ya, when providing mayo, giving us a self serve pack of it really isn't the way to go in my opinion. The waiter was fantastic. He had a good sense of humour, & wasn't hovering all the time, but always showed up in time. All in all, the meal scratched the hunger itch, but at the price point I think it could have been just a little bett.
Very uncomfortable chairs. Seem to be on purpose for higher volume of customers. Food was OK , too much sauce in the burger & no flavor. Very fast service & great servers
L'impression que la nourriture était un peu vite fait manque un peu de raffinement vu le prix . Je m'attendais à un peu mieux vu l'emplacement. Le service a été impeccable
Our server tried to take our order without writing it down. (Ordered only 4 items) She missed 2 out of the 4. Didn't even apologize that she missed the order. The place wasn't even busy. Didn't even attempt to make up to us to make our dining experience enjoyable. We were unlucky with the experience we had.

Nourriture très bonne. Par contre le service très ordinaire ! On sent qu'on doit se dépêcher.... L'entrée arrive & presque aussitôt le repas principal. On ne nous demande pas si nous désirons avoir une autre consommation. Service froid & impersonnel.... Dommage.
Mon expérience a été deux fois excellente! Serveurs/euses souriants/tes, service impeccable, très bons nos repas. Même en étant un groupe de 11 & le restaurant plein, nous avons été tous contents! Bravo!!!👏🏻

Prices were high, food was just okay. I paid $29 for nachos & had a hard time finding the meat. Group agreed the poutine was only okay. Pretty sure all places have high food prices, but was just disappointed because the food was only okay but the ambience & the service were excellent.
