Sugar shacks in Quebec: where to eat maple taffy until you drop

As soon as nights freeze and days thaw, the maple sap runs: from late February to late April, it’s sugaring-off season. A traditional meal, taffy on snow, a wagon ride, sometimes a mini-farm or sliding hills, the sugar shack is one of Quebec’s most deeply rooted family outings. This guide brings together 111 sugar shacks across the province, each with the venue’s listing, what’s on offer (meals, taffy, shop) and opening dates.

Tips: book several weeks ahead for March weekends, especially around spring break and Easter; weekday meals are quieter and often cheaper. Many maple farms also welcome groups and offer a children’s menu.
