For those who love a sugar shack but not the mud and rustic rough edges, Sucrerie Bonaventure has you covered. This Mirabel spot, run by the Ladouceur family since 2014, blends tradition with a modern touch—think paved parking, a heated outdoor fireplace, and a DJ instead of a fiddler. The menu is all-you-can-eat and includes traditional, vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-free, and kosher options, with prices starting at $27.83 for adults. Beyond the feast, there’s plenty to keep families entertained: carriage rides, a petting zoo with llamas and sheep, a playground, face painting, and even maple sap transformation demos. Whether you’re here to eat, dance, or just soak in the sugar shack atmosphere without worrying about wrecking your shoes, Bonaventure offers the best of both worlds.
