We have to honest here … - Edit
First of all, I want to express my respect for this family business. It clearly seems to be run by a hardworking family, and the concept, especially being fully vegan, is unique and commendable.
Read moreSadly, the experience did not live up to expectations. For context, I have been fully vegan for the past 13 years, so I’ve had the chance to try many vegan establishments both locally and while traveling.
The first issue was the price. At $65 plus taxes, with the tip requested in advance on the website, it felt like a bit too much. While I understand some businesses adopt this approach, it can be off-putting.
The second issue was the overall experience. We were a group of six, most of whom are not vegan, and unfortunately it left them with a poor impression of vegan cuisine. We were also seated with a random group in a very cramped space, which wasn’t very pleasant. That said, I understand this can be part of the traditional sugar shack experience.
The main issue, however, was the food. Sadly, not a single dish stood out as enjoyable or even passable. It felt as though there was a lack of seasoning, very little salt, spice, or depth of flavor. Overall, the food was far from a pleasant experience.
As someone who has been vegan for many years, my recommendation would be to revisit the menu, especially considering the price point. There is a lot of potential here, and I hope this feedback is taken constructively.
I genuinely believe many of the positive reviews may come from a desire within the vegan community to support vegan businesses, which is understandable.
In the end, all six of us left very disappointed.

Vegan sugar Shack - Edit
Sugar shacks are expensive. We all know it.
Read moreBut at cabane à tuque, I felt like I encouraged a passionate vegan man, a dad, a family, and his friends/neighbors who grow ingredients locally. I'll definitely go back next year! Support them!
------
La cabane à tuque serves vegan, organic Sugar Shack meal with locally sourced ingredients.
I don't usually like Tempeh much, but I loved their omelette-style recipe. My picky kids enjoyed the sausages, potatoes, and pancakes. The fruit pudding chômeur was excellent, not too sweet, which can be adjusted with maple syrup.
We were welcomed by 2 goats, which the kids absolutely loved, of course!
The place is intimate, friendly, and rustic. It was quiet when we went. The capacity is around 40 people.
You can go sledding, walk in the forest, or try axe throwing in the back.

Fantastic fully vegan sugar shack - Edit
Super cozy sugar shack (cabane à sucre) that is entirely vegan (used to offer vegetarian options in the past, but now fully vegan). We were there on the first day of this season – they already open in February, so we ended up being the only guests. The owner took a lot of time to answer all our questions and made us feel like home. Everything's either grown and prepared by him and his family or by friends and neighbours, making sure everything is local and sustainable. The food was fabulous and aside from the lack of animal fat, it's very close to the traditional experience you might expect. We had all the things you'd expect to find at your table such as croutons, beans, potatoes, tourtière au millet, scrambled tempeh, pancakes, and, of course, tire à la neige (mapple taffee).

Authentic, warm and hearty experience! - Edit
It is the whole package that makes this sugar shack a 5 star experience! Upon entering into an ecological house made of hemp surrounded by snow and northern laurentides forest the warmth is revealed. Smiling hosts, greeters and owners (head chef) make you feel instantly at home. A long banquet table where friends new and old gather and sit shoulder to shoulder to eat hearty offerings of pea soup, roasted potatoes, tempeh omelettes, baked beans, and millet pie accompanied by sides of ginger, curcuma kimchee, marinated beets and house ketchup. Followed by buckwheat crêpes, beet and cranberry fall cake, chaga tea and of course maple taffy! It is a place to linger, feast mightily and laugh whole-heartedly. There is even an axe throwing wall to test your country skills, a disc golf course and a 45 min snowshoe hike to the top of the mountain for views that are out of this world.
Read moreThe food is 100% vegan, organic and as local as it can get. Make the effort you will be very happy you did!
Pros: Service, Location, Food and value

La Cabane a Tuque - Edit
The omelette is made with eggs, but there is no chicken in it. There is also eggs in the pancake.
Read moreThere is a vegan menu too.
