The award-winning team at St. Lawrence restaurant (No. 5 in the 2019 Canada’s Best Restaurants) is hosting a trio of Cabane à Sucre dinners (à la the Quebecois “sugar shack”) on Jan. 19, 20, and 21.
Chef/owner J.C. Poirier harks back to his heritage and memories of eating at these sugar (maple syrup) shacks.
“Visiting the Cabane à Sucre with my family was something that I used to look forward to every year,” says Poirier.
“We want to give our guests an authentic taste of the sugar shack experience from start to finish, and show why this is such a time-honoured part of our Québécois heritage.”
Like the celebrated Cabane a Sucre Au Pied De Cochon near Montreal, it will be an elevated experience. The six-course dinner includes a split pea soup with ham hock, bacon and puff pastry with sausages cooked in maple syrup and pickled pork tongue; duck pie with maple sauce and baked beans; ham pork loin with meatball ragout with potato gratin; and pudding chomeur. The meal includes a cocktail to start and a cognac with dessert.
Tickets are $125 per person and can be purchased at stlawrencerestaurant.com.
Snow globes (aka igloos or geodesic domes) have become a popular way to outsmart winter — they’re transparent domes, heated and gussied up as outdoor wonderland dining areas.
The trio on the patio at H2 Lounge at the Westin Bayshore overlook Coal Harbour and the lit cityscape adds sparkle at night. The globes accommodate six to eight people and the minimum spend on food and drinks is $200, not at all outrageous as a group. The domes are open for brunch, lunch and dinner.
Food and drinks can be ordered from the snow globe menu or the regular sharing menu. The snow globes experience will be available to March. To reserve a globe, go to htastinglounge.com.
