It is true that Abitibi-Témiscamingue is not known for its maple groves, as there are not very many of them there.
However, it certainly is known for the ingenuity and creativity of its people. L’Éden Rouge is no exception to these traits, as evidenced, among other things, by its DELICIOUS maple syrup season menu!
For those looking for a unique experience this spring, sugar season at L’Éden Rouge is the perfect place.
L’Éden Rouge: A Family Business
As you may recall, Eden Rouge, nestled in the heart of the village of Saint-Bruno-de-Guigues in Témiscamingue, is a family-run business that grows a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, and fruits.
In Abitibi-Témiscamingue, it’s the perfect place to experience sugaring season!
Fresh creations
Some of these fresh ingredients are prepared on-site for the rustic-style dishes. Chef Angèle-Ann Guimond deserves all the credit for these delicious creations.
What’s more, you can dine on site—and in an enchanting setting, to boot! Maple syrup season at Éden Rouge is nothing like a traditional sugar shack.
To top it all off, for maple syrup season, Angèle-Ann creates a five-course menu featuring seasonal flavors. The chef uses maple syrup from La Siropière, a company based in Duhamel-Ouest.
Yes, tradition…but not just that
So, forget the concept of the traditional sugar shack when you visit Éden Rouge during sugaring season. Angèle-Anne puts a modern and delicate spin on the classics. It’s a very refreshing take on the cuisine!
In this specific context, the menu offers a creative sensory experience in which several ingredients not traditionally associated with sweets beautifully complement the range of flavors.
Think, for example, of melons that add a refreshing touch to the prosciutto; or ravioli stuffed with a mousse of ricotta, Allegretto from La Vache à Maillotte, and maple syrup. Tempting, isn’t it?
In fact, these creations are available to discover during sugaring season at Eden Rouge.
That said, to take part in the sugar shack season adventure at Éden Rouge, you’ll need to reserve your spot.
And even though maple syrup season is over, you can still look forward to their farm-to-table summer menu.
This is a wonderful destination for foodies and gourmets!
