Perched high in the Eastern Townships, Érablière Hilltop isn’t about the gimmicks—no fiddlers or petting zoos here. Instead, this 7,000-tap operation leans into what matters: hearty, old-school sugar shack fare and a sweeping view of the Bromont and Yamaska mountains. The communal dining hall serves an unapologetically traditional all-you-can-eat feast, with pork at the centre of it all—think meatball and pig’s feet stew, just like the old days. It’s a no-frills, bring-your-own-booze kind of place, where the focus is on the plate, not the pageantry.
For those lucky enough to snag Henry’s Table—tucked downstairs near the kitchen—it’s an even more intimate peek into the action. If the weather’s right, the terrace offers the best seat in the house: maple-drenched, stomach full, and overlooking miles of rolling countryside.
