La tableau du Terroir?

Canadian favorites at work.

So this morning we decided to set off outside the city to see some of the countryside.  We decided to make a visit to a local sugar shack (a place they make and sell maple syrup).  This one was a place we saw on a food channel special.  Upon arriving, we find the parking lot deserted except for employee cars and a large sign in front advertising “La Tableau du Terroir”.  Knowing some French, I do know this just means they serve local food, however, being a group of native English speakers and given the deserted setting in the middle of the woods, one can't help but have some negative connotation . . .  They routinely terrorize their guests?  Understandably intimidated, we decided to find a hike instead and perhaps come back later . . . Nearby we located a trail that wound around a local lake and got out for a short hike.  Nice area, obviously a favorite with the local mosquito population as well.  Also popular with some locals who attempted, but failed, to photo bomb Sara.  A worthy spot for stretching our legs in the woods a bit, and the bug bites will help us remember how enjoyable it was.  After the hike, we passed by a still empty Sugar Shack . . . we’ll mark that down as a fall only attraction.
