Petit et Fils - Verger et Cidrerie in Mont-Saint-Hilaire

The pancakes are delicious.

Purchase of Empire apples on November 19, 2024. The apples tasted like boat bilges (mold, horrible) We fed our compost. Orchard first time but never again.big 0

It had been a few years since I had been to the apple so this fall we took advantage of it. I have always loved your orchard!! And your cider wow

Very good local product

Local products

Warm welcome can eat on site very nice place

The site is really good but we only went to eat this time. Cafeteria formula with enhanced service. Good pancakes too. Its a 4.5 actually.

Absolutely great experience here. Less than 1hr from Montreal. Very kid friendly.

An incredible place to go apple picking with your family while enjoying a sublime landscape. The orchard is so large that there were still apples late in October. And the many warm and sunny days made this years season a real success. The products sold on site are of excellent quality, although you have to eat them quickly so as not to waste them. But if youre looking to support a local orchard, this orchard is excellent.

Fun shop with all types of things...bakery...the apple pie was delicious, jams, apples, vinegar, cider...All in all, a fun stop!!

beautiful decor, charming, beautiful view, but you shouldnt call it a lunch restaurant, very disappointed to have paid $38/2 to eat crepes reheated with sausage and a nespresso latte, all served by a very young girl. nice but from the generation who have not learned to work and are not trained..... so we eat well at home in the end...

We went for brunch at the Crêperie that is well hidden in the back. It was off-season, so the dining room was quiet. It is so cozy

The animals are many and in tiny enclosures. The birds dont even have the opportunity to open their wings, or even fly a little... If you ask me, its animal abuse, even if they are taken care of by the three of them. times a day with fresh vegetables at the end of the day. Its a stressful noisy environment, where many children bully them. Its frankly terrible.

Second year we have been coming

Apple picking, 2 bags of apples $45 and having 3 apples taken away that didnt fit in my bag according to the little guy at reception a bit rediculous

I go there every year Very good for everyone

Very disappointed with this place! The lady who is at the reception for the bags is very stupid, I almost had to go back on board and go elsewhere and the bags that we have to take with the family and that she judged that we had to pay more because she decided that we were 3 different families so it cost me $75 And then in the orchard we don t even know what we re picking because it s not registered . I dont recommend it for the 6 of us but the first time and the last

Organic, varied and fresh products.

Force us to pay $25 (a bag of apples for 2 people) to make a maze that they highlight on the site (sounds super trippy) in the end the Maze was a tiny field of corn with zero mazes in it the leaves of the corn were spanking us in the face I have already done several corn mazes and the floor was flat and there were walls more than 1 meter and a half straight. This is not at all the So we were sold the idea of a superb labyrinth in the end there was only 5 minutes of trail and no path for us to mix.. Plus pay the price for not having the benefits of the weekend because we went on a Tuesday (no transport truck during the week)(no apple fritters.) Oh yes also there was a cider tasting and the young lady was so arrogant during her cider service that I didnt hesitate to tell her that $25 for a fake maze is a bit expensive and she acted like if nothing happens then you will never see me again at your orchard and I advise people who want a real labyrinth to go elsewhere because here you are only walking in a field of badly planted corn not well done in a trail without the possibility of getting lost because you go in, you follow the trail, you get out, its a hard 5 min with a baby stroller which also doesnt say that its not made for strollers at all. My baby was eating corn leaves in his face, its not a real maze. A big zero! Learn good manners and courtesy to your employee at the cash register would be a plus!

We visit this orchard every year to pick your own apples, the setting is truly magnificent and the staff are very friendly, the tractor ride to get to the heart of the orchard is a fun experience, there is a wide variety of apples to pick, plenty of parking spaces, as well as tables to eat on site, the small farm with animals and the shop full of local products add a special touch to the visit, in general, a truly pleasant and memorable experience.

Beautiful orchard, clean, lots of apples, but above all very kind and welcoming people. Dogs are welcome. Several quality local products for sale on site.

Plein de pommes dans les arbres, degustation des produits disponible et un bon prix pour leurs produits. Jy suis allee il y a 6ans pour la premiere fois et javais aime lexperience parcontre je lavais pas pris en note et je revais de le retrouve ... chose fait cette annee je suis aux anges jamais jirais dans un autre vraiment le best.

I really liked this place before . Today during our visit, I was disappointed with some changes. Firstly, they prohibit the use of their toilets indoors, even when you eat at their restaurant, during the busy apple season. Their chemical outhouses were very dirty and full. For apple picking, the ladders were all broken and therefore very difficult to use. Since all the apples were high up, it took us forever to fill our bags. In short, I will not return to this place, there are so many orchards in Quebec who are happy to have customers, I will go and encourage another place.

Very good donuts!

Very disappointing. First, the 2 parking attendants are at the entrance. So people park haphazardly, which makes traffic difficult and dangerous. Then it says lunch restaurant. Its more of an endless queue because the 2 people are the only ones to take orders. Its more of a self-service restaurant than a lunch restaurant. The animals have very little space to move and no place to isolate themselves if necessary. No indication of what is where. 4 chemical toilets in total. So around 20 people in line for the toilets. Finally, the famous bags of apples. $25 for a bag. Its expensive but I understand a little... The experience. Except that we are 3 adults. My mother-in-law who lives with us and has difficulty walking has to buy a bag to follow us. Completely ridiculous. So I said I was going to wait for them at the entrance to avoid paying for an extra bag just for her to walk a little. The lady refused, saying its not the same family, that she already knew so she had to pay for her own bag. Completely ridiculous to force people to buy something they dont want. Anyway, first and last time.

Nice, fun apple picking spot. But there is a serious lack of bathrooms (indoor bathrooms are closed , only 5 porta potty that have no toilet paper and are disgusting).

Very nice place, we had lunch there for 17 people, the pancakes were very good and the service was also excellent. And I make a constructive remark for the creperie, you made buckwheat crepes, would it be possible for fans of this type of crepe to have molasses (an accompaniment which doesnt really cost much and keeps for a very long time) my husband was very disappointed not to have molasses because he loves buckwheat pancakes so he had to have regular pancakes. Beautiful place for animals and beautiful walks in the landscape.

I didnt like the mini. Farm is simply an enclosure and price not displayed for cider

Nice place, nice with children

Jai eu une expérience correcte mais je crois que jétais un peu en fin de saison! Il y a beaucoup danimaux et cest un endroit vraiment très plaisant pour les enfants. Toutefois, il ny avait presque pas de pommes dans les pommiers et le cidre offert était beaucoup trop sucré. Par contre nétait vraiment pas cher 5 dollars, le vert cest une aubaine !

Nice place for a walk and picking apples... He is just a victim of his success, a lot of people.

Very excellent

What joy to see my wife, who is Colombian, climbing ladders to harvest her apples. I let him fill almost the entire bag. Superb orchard, many different varieties, apples in quantity, we dont step on each others toes. Small farmhouse and apple products shop.

It s a magnificent place! Affordable and very delicious homemade products! We bought, among other things, apple croissants, apple pie, apple jelly and of course fresh apple juice!

Nice place, busy but well organized Welcoming for all ages

Well worth the detour! The apples are delicious, and the store is full of quality products. Special mention for the apple turnovers!

Beautiful place, the apples are juicy and crunchy and the orchards are healthy

Great choice of products

I bought a cup of apple cider at the entrance of the orchard. When I tried to pay, the card transaction initially failed, so I paid in cash. However, after I got home, I noticed a charge on my credit card. It seems that I was charged twice.

Delicious apples and good times spent with family!

The crepes are delicious and large portions, great discovery

Really ideal orchard with children. Large spaces, play modules, small farmhouse. Lots of room to play and run around. Lots of picnic tables and large parking space. We went on a Friday to pick Sunrises. They were delicious. Several kinds available at the end of summer. Lots of ladders in the ranks. The grocery store is full of local products. The staff is very courteous. The creperie is open on weekends.

There you can buy freshly picked apples and pears, an impressive and delicious variety of ciders as well as many other apple products. Beautiful view of the valley from the restaurant. Play park for children.

The apple pies are delicious,

Pretty

U-pick apples for a first for us!!! It was nice, the apples are good, the shop is well stocked with lots of beautiful products. Childrens play area bordering on dangerous. Small, friendly educational farm. Ample free parking on site We will come back with pleasure

Lovely moment in this large orchard with delicious apples. All the staff encountered are courteous!

U-pick apples for the first time at the Petit and Son orchard and cider mill, truly magnificent and top-quality products, many thanks for the wonderful atmosphere you create. Good luck.

Perfect, they have many tables to eat outside, I dont know they allow dogs and you can pick the apples yourself, I recommend checking which ones are available for collection on the day of the visit, they offer juice and cider tastings inside the main premises; You can buy pears and cherries, the plus is a small maze and a small farm. I recommend coming warm or with extra coats in case the weather changes at the top of the mountain.

Its a great place to go with the family, picnic area, games, maze, tractor, animals and of course lots of good apples.

Best Apple pie in Town.

My first and last visit to this place, extra expensive apples, the same for the other products. Donuts or dumplings are super expensive compared to the quality. Poor customer service perhaps due to inexperienced employees. Basically, theres a lot of love missing in this place.

Very affordable bag of apples, they are crunchy and juicy! A short tractor ride is also offered, as well as modules for children.

C est extrêmement triste de voir les animaux dans des enclos si petits. On voit clairement que l alpaga s ennuie terriblement ; il ronge le mur, et d ailleurs, cet animal ne devrait jamais être seul, ils sont faits pour vivre en groupe. Ça crève le c ur de savoir que cet endroit attire les gens alors que les animaux y sont si mal traités.

Very good products, beautiful orchard with animals and great variety. However, baskets of apples sold by weight do not have the weight indicated. When I inform the orchardist, I am told that larger apples create more space between them, which can affect the total weight. Did you know that air has weight?! We take the customer for a thick one. A 10 pound of apples should be 10 pounds of apples!

Beautiful place for apple picking with a view! There are also a playground and a little farm for kids.

We loved everything. But the varieties of apples were not indicated on each row so it was difficult to know which apples were picked. A large park for children, several animals, several apple-based products in the shop: apple pie, cider, cheese curds, apple fritters, etc.

Good place for family with children

Beautiful facilities!

Perfect for families

Great discovery, beautiful local products, lovely welcome with product tasting, a must we will come back several times

Wonderful place, nice mountain wether, pick apples and test their natural apple vines, tarts, cales, etc.

Great breakfast!

We stopped 2 years ago. We went back to buy and taste a bottle of apple cider which was really good. We dont have time for the creperie but for information it is open on Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The apples and pears from the harvest seem to be of very good quality...The view of the valley is worth the detour. Place to see.

Excellent brunch. Friendly place with a multitude of apple products. Good service, quality ingredients. Located in an orchard, beautiful view. We loved it immensely.

Incredible service. I was close to closing with a friend who knew what she wanted and being a person who almost never drinks alcohol didnt throw it on. The lady who worked made several of me taste and I never felt like I was bothering her. I finished with an apple-only sparkling liqueur and was treated to professional service and a smile throughout. I recommend this place without hesitation. Thanks again to the lady. Visit at the end of July 2024

Restaurant: the food was not very good and lukewarm. Not enough employees to meet service demand. The place is rural but that doesnt excuse the rest. I havent tried homemade products or self-picking.

Average lunch

A rare orchard which allows a walk in the floris firefighters.

Very nice place, there were three of us, and our meal was very disappointing, fair price, but very disappointing meal, lukewarm pancakes and really very few garnishes. Following your response, my friend took the brunch plate and he was disappointed by the quality of the food, much overcooked sausage. The pancakes would have been sufficient if they had been better garnished, two asparagus per pancake and a little bit of cheese, I would never make a negative comment if it was not justified. We wont go back there again.

Worst breakfast Ive ever had in my life, I dont recommend it at all. Even the coffee creamer was spoiled and moldy, and he came to apologize after my announcement.

Great View!! Very good service and warm atmosphere Excellent food and more than affordable price Nice little discovery for me and my 5 year old daughter

Lovely place for a family day!! Accessible..excellent variety and quality of products.

Taste and smell 0/10 tastes like potpourri

A lot of variety of ciders! Great selection on non alcoholic beverages made on site. They also sell apples for cooking, 10 pounds for only 8$.

Restaurant, shop, view and great products for drinking! You visit Mont-Saint-Hilaire, you need to pass there. It is a great place for kids as well.

Really nice products. The ciders are very good

Delicious breakfasts, and at a more than reasonable price. And the cider, superb! I recommend Rabaska in small bottles or cans; I like it as an aperitif. With syrups, butter and other apple products, you will be happy to bring your wallet there.

have never met such a rude waitress!

Nice Apple Garden

We went on Saturday May 6th around 11:00am. Very disappointed with the service received at the creperie. The cashier was really stupid, no smile. Me and my partner each ordered a plate on the same bill. I received my plate, but my partners arrived 15 minutes later. The cashier came to us to ask my partner what he had ordered and returned the order to the kitchen. When we finally got to eat together, my plate was cold. The cashier/waitress clearly could have left my plate under the stove. Our first experience this fall was really great. It s a shame that today, that wasn t the case. **Update: Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated. On the other hand, you have the wrong customers, because we received nothing from the cashiers: neither special coffee, nor free cider, nor any apology. In fact, the only thing my partner was told was: Yeah, that happens. Despite everything, we love your ciders!**

We went to the region to see the apple trees in bloom: magical! We really liked this store. The names of the ciders are quite funny: La vlimeuse, la ratoureuse, etc. and beautiful labels! They even have apple cider and aloe soaps! And the apple pie: wow! We made great purchases at reasonable prices. Very nice welcome. We will return there.

The cider is really good, I recommend the pear cider, the shop and the estate are really cool. Black point: pancakes should be avoided (expensive and not crazy)

This cider house in Mont Saint-Hilaire is simply incredible! I had the opportunity to taste their delicious ciders and I fell in love. They offer a wide variety of over 20 ciders, each with their own unique flavor. The rustic wooden shop is magnificent and full of treasures. They have fresh apples all year round, and they are so much better than the ones from the grocery store, its worth the detour. I was pleasantly surprised to find a selection of jams, marinades and other apple products. Its the ideal place to find gourmet and local gifts. The icing on the cake is the creperie with its terrace offering a beautiful view of the orchard. They also offer several activities for children, a playground which makes it a perfect family outing. The picnic tables are well maintained and provide a great place to relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The Petit family who run this place have truly created a little corner of paradise. Their passion for ciders and apple products is felt in every aspect of the cider house. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a wonderful family outing. You will not be disappointed !

Friendly welcome, good choice of product

Very good cider! Great cider!

Great experience with family and friends! There is a lot of variety of apples. For those who are apple picking for the first time, I recommend suitable shoes (you risk picking apples or mud) Presence of a farm with cows and a small farm with rabbits, donkeys, goats. The apple fritters are EXCELLENT!

I love this place, the staff is attentive and interacts easily with customers. What a good product, and the site is very well maintained. Great place for the family

Very beautiful view, the site is well located. On the other hand, all the ciders have a slight smell of sewage, specific to poor fermentation often linked to microbiological contamination, very disappointing!

Owners always so friendly. Good choice of cider

Ive been going there since I was little, I recommend it

GOLD medalist on the cider podium. Les Vergers Cidrerie Petit et Fils stands out for the EXCEPTIONAL quality of their cider. Favorite at Petit St-Hil with Raspberry! Also note the Rabaska ciders... favorite for their Rosé as well as the Cherry ciders... available in certain grocery stores. Mont St-Hilaire is an exceptional place from every point of view, and the apple vintages... as well as their ciders are simply EXCEPTIONAL.

Perfect

Attention !! Attention!! Beware of the visible minority before leaving because you must be WHITE to have access to the indoor toilet My husband left, they said its only for pregnant women or young children I bring my 5 year old son back at the end of the day and the two ladies who work there say no, its blocked, were waiting for someone to repair it. Were sure to stay to see if its true or not!! And suddenly a customer comes out of the toilet, a white one obviously, with the key given by the same madam who told lies so as not to give us access. What a shame I hope with all my heart that they try this feeling of wild discrimination to feel the gravity of their choice. Review update: you dont even apologize for the discriminatory behavior of your employees, have you read my review?! She told me its out of use, it was a lie, he had criteria for using the internal toilets and I had a 5 year old child By the way, my friends, neighbors, colleagues and Quebec customers are all embarrassed by the experience I had with you.

Best cider ever!!!!

Very beautiful orchard with many varieties of apples to pick yourself.

I was there on September 4, beautiful orchard with a warm welcome and a kind tractor driver. The worst is the store, it is extremely shocking, in 2023 in Quebec we see discriminatory behavior which is defended by the owner of the business. A woman with a child under 6 years old, which is the rule repeated by the employees, is refused access to the toilets because it is broken, the same employee hurries to get the keys to the toilets which she knew well and truly well depending on the person who just came out to hide his lie and his racism, It was clear with winks between the two ladies at the checkout and the hurry to get the keys. The worst thing is that I see the owner defending this on Google and trying to dismiss the subject. Shame. Wake up to the 21st century. Reviews update: the owner seems blind or doesnt want to see, we point at the moon and he looks at the finger. Instead of taking action to educate his employees, he justifies their misdeeds and gives me advice or rather threats, everything is filmed :)

Excellent orchard. There are lots of activities for young people.

Ok is a bit expensive this year. 25$ for the first bag of aples, but always a lot of activity: the farm whit animals, the kids area, the tiny labirinth, the cart ride. + available to buy cider and fresh apple donuts. Yum. And the orchard itself is never-ending.

Always a difficult experience when it comes only to buying apples. Not enough staff at the checkouts, too many detours to encourage people to buy more.

Beautiful orchard.

Beautiful orchard!! victim of their popularity so a lot of people!

Nice place to pick apples Very nice store where they sell apple cider and other products, we can bring our pic nick to the orchard there are tables, and farm animals, small downside the childrens games are all old and skip date They need to be changed

Huge, very commercial and busy orchard. Personally, I will go to another smaller orchard in the region next time.

Great product, best cider in the world, smiling and efficient employee

Oh lala, très beau verger mais les prix pour les pommes sont carrément exorbitants. Mais le pire des pires cest le prix pour les 12 beignets (petites boules) . 17$ pour 12 petites boules!!!! cest carrément aller trop loin dans lexagération des prix. Et svp arretez de tout mettre sur le dos de la COVID pour justifier un tel coût. Ce coût là fait zéro sens.

Really sad! On the tractor trip to get to the orchard, an apple tree branch snatched my bag from my hands. I informed the tractor driver who replied that he did not have one. My partner left on foot to get the bag from the path...it was no longer there. He went to reception to explain the matter. He was asked if he was honest...we didnt believe him...really rude, for a $20 bag. He was very insulted and rightly so. It was a bad start to the day! This business should change its attitude towards customers, people are not all dishonest!!! Next time, we will go elsewhere!

Beautiful place, wide variety of products, games for children, magnificent little animals!! If you just want to pick apples without enjoying the kids site, go somewhere else where the apple bag is cheaper because you pay for the games and animals in the price of the bag.

There were a lot of people, too dark. A tractor takes you to pick apples; you can t walk with a stroller and enjoy nature. The prices are prohibitively high. We immediately left for another farm.

Very good experience with apple picking!! Nice setting, warm and smiling staff!! I recommend!!

What a store....... always a good line at the checkouts. Good homemade ketchup

Forced to pay to enter the site. Very busy for facilities. The site is not very well maintained.

Great way to spend a lovely family day. A little bit everything for all. 2nd time going with the kids, but definitely not the last.

We have been here since 2015 great place for apple picking, family day, theres a mini farm and small park for kids and a table for picnic.

Price went way up, and restrict access to the orchard. 2 people max by bag of apple, we where 3, refuse us access unless we paid double...

Meal too expensive for 2 small pancakes with little filling on the plate. Cafeteria style service. We had to go and pour our own coffee

There are a lot of people here! But it s seriously a spectacular place. Interactive game, gift shopping shop, theres no shortage of apples! Farms and more.

Beautiful garden, large selection of apple varieties, inexpensive. An ideal place for relaxation and entertainment. There is a small place with animals that you can feed.

Difficult to walk to pick apples

I found a new favorite place!!! I loved the place with the kids! Clean, smiling staff, beautiful apple and pleasant with the minis!

Every year, we make a different orchard. Unfortunately, this is the only one that has really disappointed us in recent years to the point that I am leaving a review. Note: we went at the beginning of October. The apples were REALLY not pretty, mostly holes (worms?), very small, etc. We had to throw away half of our harvest when we got home. Perhaps due to the fact that it is a popular orchard crowded with people but the hygiene of the land really left something to be desired as if no one was taking care of it (waste). Whereas at the other orchards there were a lot more staff on the ground and it was clean elsewhere. The price was higher than elsewhere but I wouldnt have minded if the quality had been there. The worst I would say was finding myself. We walked for a long time before finding varieties other than Mcintosh and it was very poorly marked. We realized that we should have taken the tractor... On the other hand, I really appreciated their little restaurant which was good and affordable where we could at least enjoy a comforting brunch following a disappointing experience. I might have given it a 3 star if we had young children as the childrens facilities seemed to appeal to young families. Overall it was perhaps a less good year for this orchard (apple quality 0), but I will not return there and will not recommend it.

I loved the apple turnovers !!

Brunch excellent!

Nice place with creperie

Lots of apple choices, great view! A cute little store! We had a good time!

Excellent !!!

So successful that there are a lot of people, which makes the harvest less warm and intimate than in other orchards nearby. That being said, I love taking my son to see the farm animals and play in the facilities after harvest. This orchard is therefore perfect for families with children. Perhaps not for those who like to pick their apples in peace and privacy...

When I went there werent too many people and the trees were full of good apples. Their orchard is large and with great variety. The store on the other hand, poorly laid out its a real labyrinth, I didnt even find what I was looking for since you are stuck by the lack of space and no indications on where you can find the things that you we search.

Very nice place

An orchard popular with families with young children, there are many visitors. Even though there are batch discounts, the price per bag is much higher than in surrounding orchards. I didnt like the farm space: the animals are in small enclosures, without access to hay and with very little straw. It was painful to see. I dont recommend.

First visit to this place. Quite incredible the scale of the facilities, everything has been designed for the family and to meet the tastes and interests of each person: farm with animals, play modules, shop-museum with interpretation panels, labyrinth in the fields adjoining the orchard, etc. . A tractor transport service with trailer is offered free of charge to take us to the site. The price charged to access the orchard is, however, a little high (you have to buy a bag of apples to enter the site, you cannot bring your own), but overall, I am very satisfied with my family experience at Petit and Sons - Orchard and Cidrerie. The place is enchanting and I recommend it without hesitation.

Very nice family friendly place with tons of apple products

Good apples and very good products! The animals just need to have a little more space in their enclosures.

I gave it three stars because during my visit the alpaca in the small farm had a half-closed eye which seemed to be causing him pain. I notified an employee who did not seem to care about the animals condition. In addition, the donuts are small and had a slight apple taste.

Very bad experience I go every year there but this time there was a woman at the exit she took out few apples out of my bag telling me my bag is too full, I was planning to go inside their store to spend around 100$ to buy ciders and pie like I do every year but this time i just left and I wont spend a penny there anymore.Despite all the apples on the ground and for just few apples she lost more , but they dont understand because of that incompetent woman there .

The pancakes were delicious with a very nice vergé despite the fact that we are at the end of the season.

Excellent pancakes, the site is designed for families...

Expensive, lots of people, and poor conditions for the animals on display

Good food, good employees excellent service. The boss comes to ruin everything with his stupid air, coffee in hand, by treating his employees badly who are nevertheless on the mark.

Beautiful

Truly the best/freshest sparkling apple cider Ive ever had. 10/10

They have great products! My favorite: apple syrup!!

Very good homemade products available on site.

I tried few of their beverages, they are very good. The staff is amazing. The apple cookies are wonderful. And the person that introduced me to their beverages was extremely kind. Nice place to go with children and collect some apples. The landscape in fall is amazing full of colors nice to take some photos.

Really liked it!

Place to frequent once a year. Pleasant and well organized.

Excellent quality of products, however prices are a little higher than elsewhere.

Despite the end of the season, we had the chance to pick the last apples. Courteous service, interesting products and beautiful estate.

Really good and warm
