came into this restaurant with modest expectations, given that many hotel-affiliated spots often lean towards basic fare. However, this place was a revelation, far exceeding anything I’d anticipated. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the tone for what would be an extraordinary dining experience.
To start, I ordered the Gravlax, while my friend chose the Sebaste. Each dish was bursting with flavors that were thoughtfully and expertly balanced. The beef was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth, and the mousse had a perfect harmony of mustard and mushroom, complemented beautifully by onions and crispy croutons for added texture. Every bite was a delight.
For the main course, I had the Magret, accompanied by caramelized bok choy, shiitake mushrooms, and a unique strawberry gastrique. The flavors were exceptional—I genuinely didn’t want the experience to end. It was that good.
We finished with a deconstructed chocolate cake and a tiramisu in cannoli form. I’ve never tasted a tiramisu that good! We were skeptical at first, but after the main dishes, we couldn’t wait to be surprised once again. Though we were full, we dove into the desserts eagerly. The chocolate cake was beautiful and thoughtfully crafted—the cake itself was moist, the chocolate mousse was perfectly balanced (not overly sweet), and the strawberries added a fresh sweetness to the dish. For an extra touch of sweetness and texture, there were small meringue pieces to finish. I’m a sucker for texture, so the crunch elements were a perfect addition.
The service was another highlight. Each dish was presented with detailed explanations, adding a thoughtful touch that made the meal feel truly special. It’s something I’ve only experienced at high-end restaurants like Hell’s Kitchen in Vegas.
This restaurant is a true gem in Mont-Saint-Hilaire. They have mastered the art of flavor profiles and deserve all the praise and recognition they can get. I’d gladly drive an hour to return. Thank you to the entire team for a memorable...
Read moreDifferent experience from your typical Cabane à Sucre. The place looked like a cabane à sucre. I was expecting a fancier ambiance to go with the 3 course meal. When we got there (only spot they had was 10:15am), the temperature of the room was cold, had to ask to put the heating a little higher which they did right away.
The service was great. They offer valet services included with the reservation. Staff was nice. If you have any intolerances, they offer to switch whatever for your convenience. They have a vegetarian option too.
The 3 services was good, very filling! My favorite was the pea soup with ham, the trout with mussels with leek cream, the burrata truffle focaccia, squash in miso maple sauce, fried chicken, ribs, deconstructed chocolate tiramisu and the clafoutis. Delicious flavors in those dishes. The casolette of beans, bacon, sausage and meat balls was ordinary. The sausage and meatballs didn't taste much. Meatballs were a bit dry and the beans heavy with the tomate sauce.
I still recommend this place for a different sugar...
