Sugar Shack

Not into slushy treks through the woods? Neither are we.

Finally, la cabane à sucre has arrived downtown. Set in the glass-and-steel Jacques-Cartier Pavilion, La Cabane is a stylish sugar shack melding traditional décor (long wooden tables, moose head, and log-cabin wall) with modern touches like white leather banquettes and faux fur blankets. Enjoy live fiddle music and river views while feasting on creton with pork rinds, meaty cassoulet cooked in iron pots, and maple taffy served on-ice right at your table ($50/per person).

Now that’s sweet.

By reservation until April 11,  Jacques-Cartier Pavilion, 514-914-9661, www.lacabane.ca
