1. Alimentari Sud, Saint-Lambert
“Recently, I went to get a strawberry gelato at Alimentari Sud in Saint-Lambert with a friend. It was so good. And, what a coincidence, my colleague Béatrice had the same idea!” — Jean-Michel, Photographer
277 Saint-Denis Ave., Saint-Lambert
2. Hartley Glaces et chocolats, Saint-Lambert
“With my friends, I love going to Hartley’s, in Saint-Lambert. Everything’s good and especially the birthday cake ice cream flavour, which was a hit with my daughter.” — Andrée-Anne, Marketing Specialist, HR
474 Victoria Ave., Saint-Lambert
3. Iconoglace, Montreal
“Don’t be put off by the long lineups in front of the store. Iconoglace offers a great variety of products and that’s part of the charm of the place. The Iconoglace sundae is worth the trip. In our case, it included Quebec strawberries, cheesecake and almond praline, over delicious vanilla ice cream. And for fruit lovers, the raspberry-lemon float is so refreshing.” — Alexandre, Content and Social Media Strategist and Creator
1320 Bélanger St., Montreal
4. Le Blueboy: Artisan Glacier, Montreal
“In a 1950s setting, this artisan ice cream maker offers about 10 different flavours of ice cream and frozen yogurt. You choose a flavour and a topping. In my case: strawberry-lemonade twist. Delicious!” — Marika, Social Media and Digital Content Specialist
150 Mont-Royal St. East, Montreal
5. Kem Coba, Montreal
“It’s hard to pass up Kem Coba. Their homemade ice cream is luscious, especially the almond flavour, and the Morello cherry sorbet!” — Myriam, Content and Creative Director
60 Fairmount Ave. West, Montreal
6. Swirl and Ca Lem, Montreal
“Among my favourite ice cream parlours, there’s Swirl, which offers ice creams made with fruit that comes almost exclusively from Quebec. There’s also Ca Lem, with its flavours that are out of the ordinary, like tiramisu, blue cotton candy, pandan (a plant used in Asian cuisine), or even graham cracker pie crust breadcrumbs.” — Gaëlle, Web Content Project Manager

7. Les Givrés in Montreal and La Maison Lavande in Saint-Eustache
“I’ve got two addresses: Les Givrés, in the Villeray neighbourhood in Montreal, which offers seasonal flavours, like vanilla passion fruit or vanilla strawberry rhubarb. De-li-cious. I also like Maison Lavande in Saint-Eustache, which makes a lavender ice cream. So good!” — Juliette, Marketing Project Manager

902 Fresnière Road, Saint-Eustache
8. Cassis Monna & Filles, Saint-Pierre
“There’s nothing better than a gorgeous cone of soft ice cream with a great view! The blackcurrant vanilla twist from Cassis Monna & Filles, on Île d’Orléans, is worth the trip. It’s a perfect harmony for the taste buds, with the tanginess of blackcurrant and the sweetness of vanilla. Plus, there’s the spectacular views from the island’s bridge, a true pleasure for the eyes.” — Anouk, Senior Account Manager, Creative Solutions
1225 Royal Road, Saint-Pierre
9. Aux glaces de l’Anse, Percé
“When Ricardo recommends a good address in person it’s impossible not to check it out. At Aux glaces de l’Anse, they serve sorbets, soft ice cream and a variety of other frozen delights. I had the vanilla soft ice cream cup with a maple fudge sauce and…it just tasted of heaven! (Actually, it’s the establishment’s promise!) The cherry on the sundae, of course, is the view on the Percé Rock while you savour your ice cream in an Adirondack chair.” — Juliette, Marketing Project Manager
