We were a party of 6, 4 adults, 2 kids. We booked brunch at 10am and I'm glad we did because this place gets packed. At 10am, we were avoiding the big crowds and it's a 6$ discount per adult from the regular lunch menu. The place is clean, there are activities for the kids and the food is quite decent.
I really appreciated that the food was not overseasoned especially for the kids. They had condiments and seasoning on the side including pickles, pickled beets and pickled onions which I loved! The menu was fairly standard, breakfast potatoes, breakfast sausages (? Well more like chopped hot dogs), ham, egg quiche, oreille de crisse (Guilty pleasure), pea soup, coffee, hot chocolate. Their desserts were delicious. We don't have a sweet tooth but they kindly came out with tiny portions for us to try it all and decide what we wanted more of. There was cinnamon bun, bread pudding, sugar tart, ice cream, pancake, caramel tart, super yummy.
All in all, the food wasn't amazing haute cuisine but it didn't leave me dying of grease and guilt either plus they had amazing desserts. The service was great. I really liked our waitress, she was busy but attentive with a good memory considering all the tables she took care of.
For activities, they had the usual tire d'érable, mini farm (a few sheep, a llama, 2 horses, a donkey), a fire pit, a little slide-park area. They also have a dancing room with live music, face painting and balloon making. It says "suggested donation", that's more like this the price or more if you'd like, definitely not less. They had a free tractor ride up until they pulled out the horses to pull the sleigh then it was 3$per person. So I guess only free tractor ride until noonish. The sleigh ride was.... A bit boring, there wasn't much to see, there was no presenting of anything. We paid 15$ to sit in a sleigh for 10 mins and stare at big fields of snow. I guess I was hoping to see some trees where they got their syrup or like at the last place we went, we got some entertainment. But oh well. They also had ax throwing but we didn't check that out so it's unclear if that was included or not.
Overall, our kids had fun, the food was better then I expected and maybe because we came early, the place was still very clean and very well organised. Tbh, I wanna give the place a 3.5 because I felt jipped by the sleigh ride especially since we were told indoors that it was free. But since there's no half points, I'll round up and.. We would come back again. Early. read more
