Best Gelato in Quebec

"60 Fairmount Avenue West | (514) 419-1699One of the most popular ice cream shops in Montreal, and with good reason, Kem CoBa is based on several Vietnamese ice cream flavours, so you know it’s going to taste good. There will be a line up no doubt so get there fast, especially in the summer. There was even a twitter account created to monitor the size of the line!"

"If the line-ups here on a hot summer day are any indication, they’ve got something going with their ice cream, period. That being said, their seasonal swirl cones are the money maker. Changing every few weeks from combos like sour cherry and almond to blueberry and honey, the best summer challenge is to try and eat them all."

"Two master pastry chefs come together to give you fun and original flavours every week: buttered corn, cheesecake, Madagascar vanilla, almond, and sourcherry, to name a few. These ice creams are full of flavour with no food coloring added. Kem Coba will serve you flavours you can’t even pronounce."

"Though tiny, this 300 square foot mainstay on the Main has been making waves since 1984 with its variety of funky flavours. Favourites among some 30 choices include Halvah, a sesame-butter based cream marbled with chocolate and nougats and Kulfi, an Indian-inspired mix of cardamom and nuts. But it’s staples like the Chocolate 6X and the award-winning French Vanilla that make the double scoop or return trip inevitable."

"Having been in the business for over 17 years, Ripples knows how to make delicious homemade ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet. They’re claimed to be the best in the Plateau area with cool flavors such as green tea, chai, banana chip, kulfi, guava grapefruit, coconut, halavaran, chunky cheesecake, and so much more. This tiny spot is easy to miss but their ice cream is hard to forget!"

"Bring on the summer because that’s when Ripples opens its door and the customers come streaming in. This blvd Saint-Laurent spot has been serving sublime ice cream for more than two decades, with about 30 flavours!. Choosing a favourite isn’t easy but we have a weakness for the 6X Chocolat and French Vanilla."

"The owners Martin and Alexandre offer one of the best artisanal ice creams in town!. Their ice cream is fantastic and definitely ranks with the best in town. It’s available in some grocery stores, however, it’s way more fun to enjoy it at either of the Les Givrés locations, either on de Castelnau East street or Masson street."

"Open all year round, Les Givrés specializes in unique and crazy flavours in either ice cream or sorbets. Try their matcha green tea ice cream, strawberry rhubarb, caramel apple pie, pineapple coconut, and many more. Everything is free of artificial flavours and colouring."

"334 rue de Castelnau E., Montreal, H2R 1P8 (see map) 514-507-7558. Homemade soft & hard ice creams and sorbets using fresh ingredients and no artificial colours or flavours (even the cones are made on-site). Outdoor seating available."

"Wrangle together a pack of friends and head west to Wild Willy’s in Pointe-Claire to conquer the King Kong, 15 scoops of hard homemade ice cream. While that may sound like it’d get tiring, their 48 flavours on offer go from vanilla to donut, so pickings are anything but slim. Not to mention the froyo, hurricane blends, choco-dipped bananas, frozen tofu and more."

"20 Cartier Ave., Pointe-Claire Village, H9S 5L5 (see map) 514-695-5022. Choose from a wide variety of classic and more adventurous flavours of this homemade ice cream. Outdoor picnic tables available and a short walk to various local parks as well as Lac St. Louis."

"Homemade ice cream in Pointe-Claire village, steps away from Lakeshore. If you live in the West Island, you know Wild Willy’s."

"Come for the coffee and stay for the gelati at this Petite-Patrie-based Italian eatery. Everything from fusilli primavera to cannoli can be ordered from the menu of its upstairs restaurant, but it’s the adjoining gelateria that has earned Roberto its reputation. Recipes passed down from the family’s gelateria in Italy have been used since 1982 to craft artisanal classics like pistachio, tiramisu, Baci chocolate, mint stracciatella and more."

"Roberto’s is a café/bistro that has been in operation since 1982, selling sandwiches, salads, coffees and a few Italian products. But it’s at the adjoining « Gelateria Roberto » where the myriad of gelati will tempt your tastebuds. This is gelati made with high-quality ingredients, free of preservatives and artificial additives."

"A post shared by Fernanda Mathias (@feemathias) on Sep 8, 2015 at 4:41pm PDT. Plenty of places in Montreal’s Little Italy offer gelato, but few make their frozen desserts from scratch like Gastronomia Roberto. Lighter than ice cream because it’s made with less butterfat, it's that much easier to eat as much as you want."

"Maestro SVP is a casual and popular Italian bistro that focuses on oysters and seafood. For 25 years, the loyal clientele have been coming to this small and friendly place. Maestro SVP often features oyster tasting sessions and contests at both locations."

"A charming pub one block southeast of Parc La Fontaine, Grenade proposes killer cocktails at affordable prices. Located at the edge of the Gay Village and the Plateau neighborhoods, Grenade has a backyard patio and some of the most creative drinks in the city. You can try the Bloody Kimchi made with vodka, saké, rice vinegar, soy sauce, clamato juice, and sriracha or the Lucky Sangria, an unexpected combo of peach vodka, saké, white cranberry juice, ginger beer, and fruits."

"Komomo does all-vegan sushi, but even lovers of seafood have been known to concede that its rolls, from California to Kamikaze, can compete with the fishy counterparts. Order online or pick up at the takeout counter, which has taken over for Momo in the wake of the pandemic."

"Kan Bai Nouilles du Yunnan - Rice Noodle - Ramen - Chinese Noodle Shop (Rue Bishop)"

"The unique and costly (over C$1 billion) Olympic Stadium is now the venue for concerts and features a sports centre with four large swimming pools. Half-hour guided tours are available and visitors can also take a funicular (cable car) ride up the world's tallest inclined tower (175m/575ft). Nearby, the former velodrome is now a major and extremely popular attraction - the Biodôme de Montréal is a recreation of five ecosystems under one roof."

"This is where you’ll find the 540-foot Montreal Tower, Olympic Stadium, and the Esplanade, which features local outdoor events year round (ex: First Fridays). This is also where the Montreal Biodome is located, which allows you to experience five ecosystems from around the world in one building. Another worthy experience to having at Olympic Park is catching a game or show at Olympic Stadium."

"Also in the area to visit are the Olympic Stadium, Athlete’s Village and Olympic Pool. Home to the 1976 Summer Olympics, it has become one of the most recognized Montreal landmarks. Throughout the year, you can find lively outdoor events focused on culture, recreation and physical activity as well as some of Montreal’s best food trucks."

"Why: This Irish Catholic church was opened in 1847 and its spire can be spotted throughout the city, a mark of its Gothic Revival style. Pope John Paul II raised the status of this church to a Basilica in 1989 "because of its historical importance as the mother church of the English-speaking Catholics of greater Montreal."

"» St Patrick's Basilica was built in 1847 for Irish immigrants. Their number increased in Montreal due to famine and other difficulties in Ireland. »  Initially, the New Gothic church was built at the cape that has a view of the city."
