The facility is quite picturesque in the woods with a view of the winery in the back. For meeting facilities they have quite a nice place and the food for lunch and breaks was fresh and had a good selection of sandwich, salad and dessert! We appreciated being the only function here for the two days. Speaking with some of the people that worked there, they mentioned they have planned over 50 weddings for the year! We purchased some bottles of wine and had a tasting of their sparkling rose. Wine was okay, nothing that overly wow'ed me but it is kind of cool that there is a winery in the woods of Laval west! We will use this facility again as service, quality and ambiance was more than acceptable! 3.5/5 for me!

It was so bad, I actually complained to the management the next day -- and got no sympathy whatsoever -- imagine! It's too bad, because it's really quite a special place: a real, honest-to-goodness vineyard - complete with stone gates and turrets - just 15-20 minutes from downtown. Intimate dining room and great food-- especially the hors d'oeuvres

I have never been to a sugar shack before and since we were in prime sugar shack season, we decided…read moreto go. It's so neat because you could see all the buckets on the trees where they have tapped them. They were cooking the maple sap, which is pretty watery, down to maple syrup. They had a drink they made with gin and then hot maple sap water and hot maple syrup. Oh my gosh! It was pure deliciousness which surprised me because I did not think that I liked maple syrup. Perhaps I've never had a good maple syrup. After all, I grew up on Aunt Jemima. They had wine which they make, too. So much food that it would be hard to eat it all, however, if I were to be honest it was fairly plain. Afterwards, you go out to the main area and they pour the hot maple syrup onto snow and it turns into this most delicious candy. Again, I was shocked how great that tasted ! I even had a second one. Loads of information about how maple syrup is so much more nutritious than corn syrup, etc. I think that I would try another one next time if we go this same time of year.

OMG, how could I not write about this experience!? I've been to the Cabane à Sucre and it's pretty…read morestandard. So I won't write about that. However, last year, I discovered their Cabane à Pomme (Apple Shack) and that, my friend, you must absolutely try!!! It usually runs from late September to October. You must call to reserve because they prep the food just for you as it's not cooked or served in bulk. While you book, they include a complimentary wine tasting of their maple wines and ciders (yay)! All you need to do is show up 30 min before your meal and head over to the boutique to taste. I always buy the Maple Wine which is a dessert wine with a delicate hint of maple. It's not too sweet, very refreshing and aromatic. You can choose between the 4 or 5 course meal. You must go with the 5 course because the Cold Cuts Platter is totally worth it with: Pork rillettes, Salted St-Isidore Turbot with Herbs, Beef jerky, Reinvented apple pie, Garden marinades & eggs in balsamic vinegar, Cornbread. My favorite was the deconstructed apple pie with cheddar, scallions, apples, cinnamon and I could not get enough. I could order a whole pie like this and eat it myself! The balsamic eggs were delightful with a slight tang from the vinegar, beautifully colored soft-boiled eggs. The turbot was delicate and delicious. Cornbread was covetable and we finished all the pickled veggies. Pork rillettes were so good we needed more bread! They served 3 salads: green beans & sweet corn, carrot & celeriac, romain. The beans and corn salad was sooooo good, I took them home. The dressing was sweet like a Dijon mustard and honey mix which really brought out the flavor of the beans and corn. The other two salads were ok. The soup. Cream of roasted cauliflower and garlic croutons. The soup is on the thinner side so you can eat a whole bowl. The flavor is perfectly seasoned and there are tiny bits of cauliflower giving it a nice texture. The main course. Deep fried turkey wings (omg) were so so good. The outside was golden brown and the meat inside was juicy. It was served in a basket and with a sauce. The braised pork was melt in your mouth served on a bed of barley with apple compote. They had a plate of sauteed purple cabbage that was so tasty, I tried recreating it at home. Just was not as good as theirs! I'd pass on the parsnip puree though as I'm not a fan of parsnips to start with. Then dessert: apple fritters! apple crumble and a strawberry ''ti-moune''. All were top-notch though the texture of the ti-moune is slightly surprising, it's mostly a whipped cream confection but nice nevertheless. Even though the food isn't served as 'all you can eat' it is definitely plenty. We left there stuffed and sleepy because of the turkey so maybe don't plan anything after your meal for the next 2 hours :) I referred a colleague who went the weekend after and also had rave reviews. No apple picking season is complete without a Apple Shack at Domaine Labranche. Yes, I am a fan.

I didn't want fast food or a restaurant that is also a chain where I live. I just happened to pass by this restaurant, saw people eating outside, and then looked up the restaurant. I saw that their specialty was fish and chips, so I immediately turned around and decided to give it a try. I am very glad that I decided to eat here. As soon as I stepped in the door I was greeted by friendly employees with a smile. My waitress was very prompt to ask me what I wanted, etc. I ordered the petit fish and fries simply because I had never eaten here so I did not want to order too much food. I should've ordered more, because the fish and fries were excellent. The portion size was good for the price. The food came out quickly, hot, and tasted fresh. Normally I do not even eat tartar sauce but I tried it here and I actually enjoyed it. I will definitely be making a trip back to this restaurant and recommend it to anyone. This was some of the best fish I've had in a very long time. I know that seems like a simple thing to accomplish, but it is surprising how many times I have ordered fish and chips and it was horrible. This was delicious. Keep up the good work.
