Cabane à Sucre Constantin

History and Tradition

Established in 1941 by the Constantin family, this sugar shack has become a cornerstone of Quebec's maple syrup culture in Saint-Eustache. Over eight decades, it has upheld traditions of quality, service, and festive spirit, evolving from a simple cabane to a multifaceted destination. The emphasis on fresh maple products and time-honored recipes draws generations of visitors, making it a living piece of Laurentides heritage.

Sugar Shack Dining Experience

The hallmark is the all-you-can-eat menu served during sugar season, featuring Canadian bread, pea soup, cretons, coleslaw, sausages in maple syrup, house marinades, omelettes, ham, bacon, baked beans, boiled potatoes, eggs cooked in syrup, crepes, poor man's pudding, sugar pie, and soft-serve ice cream. Vegetarian options and alcohol permits enhance variety. Takeout boxes like the traditional, revisited, and gourmet meals (82-182 CAD for 4) extend the feast homeward.

Activities and Entertainment

Beyond feasting, enjoy tire sur la neige, horse-drawn sleigh rides, mini-farm with exotic animals, bouncy castles, doll museum, puppet theater, mini ATV track, hiking trails, and evaporator tours by reservation. Dance hall and tractor-drawn promenades add lively fun, especially for families and groups.

The on-site boutique under Produits d'Antan sells frozen prepared meals, maple products, charcuteries, jams, preserves, beers, and gift sets. Open daily 9am-5pm, it supports takeout and online orders, keeping the cabane vibrant beyond season.
