Published on January 11, 2010 - Spring is in the air, and your maple craving has kicked in, leaving your mouth watering with anticipation. Lucky for you, Montréal’s public markets, specialty boutiques and street stalls are chock full of delicious maple temptations.
As soon as the sap starts to flow, the merry vendors at Philips Square and along Mont-Royal Avenue catch the eye of passersby with brightly-coloured kiosks piled high with sweet treats.
Beckoning from the storefront window of the Canadian Maple Delights boutique-bistro lies a panoply of irresistibles, such as maple tarts, mousses, sherbets and maple-flavoured coffees. Yummy!
If you’re a sweet tooth with a hankering for the authentic, take yourself to Sucrerie de la Montagne atop Mont Rigaud. This popular sugar shack, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, immerses you in the vibrant past of Québec and Canada.
A great mix of modern and traditional, the Gallant Sugar Shack welcomes visitors to taste the mighty maple’s bounty in a log cabin at the heart of a centuries-old forest.
