Poutine
Montreal Smoked meat
Sugar Shack
A dish which consists of french fries, fresh cheese curds and gravy. Known as Canada's national dish, it was created in Quebec in the 1950s and can now be found all over the world. Virtually any ingredient can be added to garnish this dish. Click here for a list of Must-Try restaurants.
A kosher-style deli meat. It is served on rye bread with mustard and often accompanied with french fries, coleslaw and a pickle. The Montreal smoked meat is cured with more savoury seasoning than its cousin the New York pastrami. My favorite shop has got to be Schwartz.
How do I even begin to explain sugar shack. La "cabane à sucre" is a much beloved winter activity in Quebec. At the shack, you get to feast on a myriad of traditional savoury dishes such as: yellow pea soup flavoured with ham hock, baked ham, omelette or scrambled eggs, sausages, meat pie, baked beans, cretons (a pork-based pâté) and "oreilles de crisse" (deep-fried pork rinds). Everything is of course drenched with maple syrup.
Besides indulging in copious amounts of food,vsome of the more traditional things to do are horse or tractor-drawn wagon or sleigh rides of the property and all the tapped maple trees, walks or hikes in the woods, traditional music and dancing, petting zoos, snowshoeing and spending time learning and observing the maple syrup making process.
