Call it fate<\/em> … call it luck<\/em> … call it kismet<\/em> –\u00a0whatever you wanna call it, IT<\/em> seems to have been on my side when I grabbed a Metro newspaper on the way to work one day –\u00a0which I never do (grab the paper that is….I do\u00a0have to go to work everyday), and on the corner of the front page, LA<\/strong>\u00a0CABANE \u00c0 POMMES<\/strong> catches my eye … and my stomach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean, Cabane \u00e0 pommes <\/strong>=\u00a0APPLE SHACK<\/strong>. Think about that for a second. You got the Sugar Shack<\/strong>concept (which they also offer in the spring), but instead of maple themed … it’s apple themed. Why have I not heard of this before???<\/em> I quickly pull up the website for Domaine Labranche<\/u>,<\/strong><\/a> scan the menu, forward to friends and by the time I get to the office,\u00a0a reservation is made\u00a0for 8 people that weekend. So glad we went – it seems like a 30-minute drive away (from Brossard, only a 45-minute drive from downtown Montreal) was enough travelling to keep me sane<\/strong> for another week!<\/span><\/p>\n

PLAISIRS \u00c0 TABLE<\/span>
\nOwned and operated by the Desgroseilliers <\/strong>family for eight generations in\u00a0Saint-Isidore-de-Laprairie,Domaine Labranche<\/strong><\/a><\/u>,\u00a0believes strongly\u00a0in the local food movement.\u00a0The Apple Shack menu consists purely of ingredients\u00a0sourced from their own farmlands, orchards and vineyards\u00a0as well as from other local farms\u00a0in the Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Served family-style<\/strong>, the lunch menu<\/strong><\/a><\/u> we had consisted of four courses. Everything was oh-so-delicious<\/em>, and the favourites of our crew definitely were the braised pork with cider<\/strong>, the gigantic apple-cranberry BBQ turkey wings<\/strong> and the desserts<\/strong> – OMG – the desserts!<\/em> Apple-cinnamon beignets, strawberry “ti-moune” <\/strong>and apple crisp with pecans and maple syrup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Did I forget to mention the ciders<\/strong>? They’ve got a decent wine list – all made by the domaine – but it’s theliquors <\/strong>that won over the sweet-tooth and semi-alcoholic in me! We managed to go through a couple of bottles of their Sparkling Cider<\/strong> during lunch. After lunch,\u00a0we were offered an informative tour of the domaine by their super friendly staff, followed by a tasting of their Labranche White Wine<\/strong>, Maple Liquor<\/strong>,Ice Cider<\/strong> and Fire Cider.<\/strong><\/p>\n
