Running strong since 1947, Cabane à Sucre Bouvrette is one of the closest sugar shacks to Montreal, making it a go-to for families looking for the full sugaring-off experience without the long drive. The food sticks to tradition—tourtière, maple-glazed everything, and all the comforting staples—while the setting goes beyond the basics. A mini-farm stocked with turkeys, ducks, and llamas keeps kids entertained, along with train rides through the woods and horse-drawn sleighs. The season runs through mid-April, but the space doesn’t go quiet afterward, hosting everything from weddings to winter festivities year-round. Whether you’re dining in, grabbing takeout, or booking a rustic event, this spot has nearly 80 years of history to back it up.
