Erabliere Charbonneau

One of the best cabane a sucres I’ve ever been too. The food was excellent. It’s your classic sugar shack.

Really amazing for groups, reasonably priced and always fun! :)

I go to the sugar shack twice a year on average and I’ve never been back to the same one twice but I will be back here next year for sure! Food selection was great and all you can eat left me full and satisfied! Went with some friends but definitely recommend it for families as well, they have outdoors activities to make the day more then just a good meal.

This was my first sugar shack experience and I really enjoyed it! This place is huge –two rooms, each seating ~100 people, and tables can be made as small (for us, two people), or as large (12 people) as necessary. I was concerned going in that trying to get «seconds» (or thirds) of our favourites would be awkward when the meal is served at the table, but the helpful servers/​staff are so clearly used to second/​third/​fourth rounds that it was not awkward at all. I’m now a fan of the ‘buffet served at your table’ as I think this has a few benefits I never thought about before: 1) you can stay seated, chatting with your family/​friends throughout the entire meal (rather than ‘pausing’ conversations when different people in your party gets up to go back to the buffet), 2) related to #1 –no standing/​waiting in line at all!, and 3) since you’re served a little bit of everything in several stages (1^st stage: soup and bread, 2^nd stage: main dishes, 3^rd stage: dessert… and repeat stages until you’re ready to be rolled out the door) you’re better able to try a little bit of everything rather than gorging on one or two main items that caught your eye in the buffet line.
Had we had little kids, or were traveling in a touristy/​big group, I would likely give this place 5 stars because this place is a well-​oiled machine and I can see how it would become a nice annual family tradition. But as a couple of two, all the extra ‘benefits’ that are likely part of the cost ($ 27 pp for lunch/​dinner on weekends) are lost on us –pony rides, farm animals, and playgrounds. We did enjoy the complimentary tractor ride (although note: you can just as easily drive yourself on the main road) to a cider tasting/​cider shop down the road, and the maple sugar on ice, though. Even though I’m not a big buffet person (I’m more of a carb– than meat-​eater, so buffets never seem quite worth the cost for me), I highly recommend this place for people who have never been to a sugar shack before. It is a fun and unique experience, and the staff here will take very good care of you. But don’t forget to make your reservation beforehand!

I was sure I had left a review for this… Oh yeah the mobile review wasn’t available ! Sorry just thinking out loud. Wow, time for a new iPhone. Anyway… If your looking for a real authentic quality sugar shack, this is the place to go. Listen to me, I’m telling you, this is DA best ! Now I’m not comparing to the 60 $ something PDC which I have yet to try but Charbonneau Is authentic and you can get a 3 $ off printable coupon online. I come here every year in the spring. There is a tractor ride, a little farm with a few animals you can feed, pony rides for kids, a cider tasting, and a shop to buy the local goodies. It’s not just a place you go to for food (although lets not kid ourselves… that’s my main reason) it’s a place you go to for memories and a fun family experience. I’ve tried many sugar shacks in my lifetime so far and been left disappointed like bad recycled food, now don’t take me wrong I am miss environment so recycling is sort of a religion to me but for a place you pay for to go eat, is not really what i sign up for. Here the food is ALWAYS FRESH ! The meat pies, the maple sausages, the pickled veggies, the homemade fruit ketchup, the fluffy eggs with maple syrup, OMG leave room for desert !! I know the food is too good believe me I KNOW but you have to !!! I swear or you will be sad because the pettes de soeurs and caramel coulis (tastes like hot melted werthers original caramels) and crepes are to murder for, seriously you can’t get that caramel coulis out of my husband’s hands, he will hurt you. Ok enough said, now go there and enjoy as I know you will. I don’t see how this place could ever score less than 5*.

Love the food and the fun I’ve shared here with friends. We’ve come here two years in a row now and have made it our annual «cabane a sucre» destination.
My favourite items are the cretons, sausage, baked beans, beets, and sugar pie, while my husband’s favourite is hands down the pea soup. Of course, you’ll need to drown everything in maple syrup. I even recommend pouring it into your coffee for a major and tasty sugar high (like you’ll really need more of that!).
If you’re up for it, you can walk around the property and take a look at their resident critters, including some peacock, turkeys, and goats. You can even get a pony ride if you want, though I think it’s probably better suited for children than adults!
Make sure you reserve in advance and SHOW UP ON TIME, otherwise, you risk losing your reservation!

I came here with my family as my first cabane a sucre experience and was not disappointed in the experience. Most everything comes with (or a variation of) maple something. The sausage is cooked in it, the eggs are, the baked beans are, the maple sugar pie, you name it and it pretty much is. I‘m not sure if I‘m not disappointed that the milk didn‘t have it.
Anyways, this is straight traditional-​Quebec-​maple-​tapping-​lumberjack-​food at its finest. You need it to stick to your ribs in true comfort food fashion? Come here for that.
The little crepes/​pancakes with the maple sauce? To die for! My sister‘s eyeballs almost rolled into the back of her head when she tasted it. At least that‘s what I think I saw since I was approaching food coma status.
Make sure you go during the season to truly experience it, I believe that is February and what‘s left of March.
Gotta go, I think my body will reject the water and salt I try to put back into it just to balance out my body‘s chemistry!
