Hey guys. Was wondering if anyone's been to a really good cabane a sucre near Montreal? Thanks.

Here is a good article in yesterday's New York Times on Montreal "Cabane a Sucre" in particular Sucerie de la Montagne. http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/02/08/...

I went on SdlM on Sunday, a bit early in the season so no taffy. The food was great, and the people were really nice. A bit pricey for what it is, but I guess it's not something that I do everyday so it was acceptable.

IMHO it's not early in the season, february is still pre-season.

Agreed. It's not the season til at least March, even mid-late March.

Anyway, there are much closer cabanes. One in Sainte-Julie is probably the closest to the city, and one in Ste-Eustache is closer and recommended by some friends. I don't know the names, but a google search should find 'em quickly with the leads I've given.
