Springtime in Quebec is synonymous with sugaring off. Prefer to stay in the city? Here are three urban cabane à sucre experiences to indulge in this season:
sirop. This new-on-the-scene pop-up sugar shack is by Terra Perma, a permaculture community in the Laurentians. The menu features all the classics—eggs, beans, bacon, etc.—drizzled with their own small-batch maple syrup. Saturdays and Sundays until April 30. 3580 Notre-Dame W. cabaneurbaine.net
scena. Now in it’s fourth edition, this year’s Un Chef À l’Érable features a menu concocted by Laurent Godbout. Communal tables give this pick an authentic feel while the Old Montreal setting is pretty as can be. March 10 to April 16. Pavillon Jacques-Cartier, Jacques-Cartier Quay. scena.ca
la cabane à sucre urbaine. As part of Montreal’s big birthday bash, an urban sugar shack experience is touring a selection of neighbourhoods. On the menu? An abridged version of the cabane, featuring storytelling, folk music, bread pudding and, the pièce de résistance, maple taffy. 375mtl.com —Christine Laroche
