Reviews for La Cabane à Tuque in Mont-Tremblant, QC
yummm yummm not only this sugar shack is vegan every single ingredient (except salt) used to prepare the menu is grown locally.... now that is hella impressive!! 99% self sufficient. hats off to you Samuel! the owner is a young couple living at the cabanaitself with their son and they buy local products from their friends who are the producers. it was very refreshingexperience. wholesome. unlike other commercialized sugar shacks. only comment i’d make is that I found the maple syrup verythin in consistency. besides that the food was delicious ???? the soup, the « temp’oeuf » (temph’egg) , the pie , thepatates ???? !! and of course the unlimited TAFFY. happy gal lets say i had a major food coma after that ???? oh, also youcan do axe throwing there and a hiking trail!

I would strongly discourage eating here, unless they make some serious changes in the food. This was honestly one of the most... underwhelming meals I've ever had in a restaurant, at an unreasonable price. I get that at a cabane a sucre you pay for thewhole experience, but this was just not worth it. The the location is nice and the people are well intentioned, but we leftdisappointed. Some thoughts on the dining experience: -Serve hot drinks at the table! There was only cold water and Kombucha wecould pay extra for. Yes, coffee doesn't grow in Quebec, but it is so sad to have a mug with cold water as the drink that isoffered. The tea which was eventually served outside was good. -It would be great to explain the ingredients and concept asthings are served, like you would expect at any restaurant costing more than 30$. -The taste of each dish was quite basic anddidn't feel like a restaurant meal. Lots of grains, not much else. The condiments offered are ok, but lack variety. Thebuckwheat crepe needs something other than kraut or maple syrup. Almost everything has the same texture of boiled grains and theingredients are not enhanced much by the seasoning or presentation. The tourtiere crust could be actual flaky pastry forexample, but is dense and bland. There were undercooked grains in the soup, which was bitter and boring. The potatoes are good.The pouding chomeur is not. There's very little fat in any of the dishes which is part of what is so disappointing. Quebec hasso many more local ingredients than buckwheat! For example I would have loved some smoky flavours (tempeh bacon maybe?),blueberry coulis, savoury mushrooms etc. I don't think the owners should give up, but maybe some more experimenting and gettingtaste testers would be a good idea...

Great concept, cool decoration. Unfortunately the price is not worth the meal. The tea that was served was delicious, so were... the potatoes, but all of the other main dishes were quite bland. I was particularly disappointed with the pudding chomeur... Ittasted somewhat sour; both the taste and the texture were far from making it a delicious dessert. Most of the dishes lacked indeliciousness actually. And the fact that it is expensive (around 80$ per person, with tips) makes it all the moreheartbreaking. Left the place feeling dissatisfied and sad. Read more
Amazing home made, home grown, biological and vegan food! Super friendly staff! Traditionally made biological maple syrup. Great... experience! Read more
Cool concept. Great staff. Not impressed with the food though. Was very dissatisfied with the taste... I like that everything is... local and zero waste but not at the expense of great tasting food. :( Read more
Great food! The rosemary and maple syrup potatoes were the standout. Friendly and personable staff, and a really nice dining... area. The axe throwing is fun while you wait too. Only gripe is that it's a tad bit expensive, but considering it's mostlyall-you-can eat, I'd say it's worth it! Read more
We had an excellent meal for five last night celebrating our daughter's birthday. She is vegan and we found the perfect spot for... her and us. We were greeted upon arrival by the always friendly and helpful Marie-Soleil. The owner Simon took the time toexplain the restaurant's philosophy and you could hear the passion in his voice regarding the fresh local grown ingredients anduse of organic and self grown herbs and vegetables. This all translated into a delicious all you can eat meal which we allenjoyed. It was game night and we had the opportunity to pay board and card games before and after the meal service. After themeal we took the opportunity to use the axe throwing setup near the restaurant. That was fun for all. We then went for a walkthrough the maple trees to see the gravity flow piping that has been installed for the syrup flow in the spring. Thank you Simonand team for making this a memorable night for us. Read more
It didn't feel like I was in a sugar shack. Although the staff was super friendly, food was bland. I was first confused when I... arrived there. Once found out, I was served with a very bland pea soup. It tasted like warm water. Not good at all... The bread(contrary to their website, it wasn't smoked baguette) and the vegan creton (spread) were the most decent things. The main dish:pie, tempeh, some marinated stuff and beans. The pie was less than ok, its spiciness was hiding all the flavor (or flavorness).At least the pie was served in a good temperature. The tempeh was just weird, cold and tasteless. The beans were good, but athome I do the same every day. The potatoes were okay. They didn't served me the homemade ketchup, I don't know why. Thesauerkraut and the beets were fine. For the dessert, I had the pounding chômeur and it had a funny texture, the flavor was"eatable". I poured a lot of maple syrup to make it a bit better. And finally the mapple taffy in snow. Good, like all otherplaces. As much as I wanted to share a good experience, promote a vegan and local place, I'm sorry but I can't. I payed 110$ tohave had one of my worst dining experiences... If I could choose the price, a fair price, maybe 20$ it would be. Read more
