Oh sweet liquid gold, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways.
classic shack
This season, add Louis-François Marcotte to the list of local chefs lending their culinary touch to a classic sugar shack. For carnivores with a sweet tooth – and a hankering for a blast-from-the-past experience! — La Tablée des Pionniers, about an hour and a half north of the city, is the ultimate day-trip. 1357 St-Faustin St., Saint-Faustin-Lac-Carré, 1-855-688-2102, http://latableedespionniers.com
city shack
Another year, another sugar shack pop-up at Scena. This time, Chez L’Épicier’s Laurent Godbout is the creative genius behind the syrupy-sweet culinary concoctions on offer at during Un Chef à L’Érable. Quai Jacques-Cartier, Old Montreal, 514-288-0914.
chic shack
Every Tuesday and Wednesday in March, Old Montreal’s Les 400 Coups serves up a special menu that’s all about – yes, you guessed it! – maple syrup. For all the cabane flavor minus the lumberjack flannel, it’s a must-try. 400 Notre-Dame E., 514-985-0400, www.les400coups.ca
Consider sugaring off season officially open. —Christine Laroche
