Cult Montreal restaurant Au Pied de Cochon’s country cousin the Sugar Shack - Cabane à Sucre au Pied de Cochon - is located in prime maple syrup territory St Benoît de Mirabel, 55km outside Montreal. Chef Martin Picard is known for indulgence and gluttony - he fed Anthony Bourdain a stream of foie gras dishes at one meal - but also for promoting traditional Québecois cuisine, and this is his way of preserving the cabane à sucre tradition for generations to come. The sugar shack tradition has families tapping syrup together then cooking and eating with it, and Picard serves maple pig’s head, braided merguez tagine, duck fat pancakes, and maple condensed milk. The cabin is so popular it has even spawned its own sibling, the Shack Next Door (La Cabane d’à Côté).
