Ice Cream restaurants in Canada

  1. A

    Le Bilboquet

    A legendary institution in Montréal, Le Bilboquet whips up highly addictive homemade ice cream and refreshing sorbets. On warm summer nights (and even on chilly evenings), long lines snake out the door. Although there’s no seating inside, there are a couple of sidewalk tables, and some lovely little parks nearby.

    Tutto Gelato

    There’s a reason people line up halfway out the door at all hours for Tutto Gelato. The creamy, rich, homemade ice cream here is simply too good to pass up. Over two dozen varieties of the Italian-style gelato and nine different sorbets (plus four soy-based varieties for the vegan crowd) vie for attention behind the glass counters. Top picks include fraise des champs (wild strawberries), passion fruit, pistachio, Bacio (milk chocolate and hazelnut) and green tea. Young, efficient staff move things along quickly.

    Au Festin de Babette

    This charming café with sidewalk terrace is famed for its homemade ice cream. The supremely satisfying crème glacée molle à l’ancienne is chocolate or vanilla ice cream blended on the spot with fresh mango, blueberries, raspberries, lychee, kiwi and other fruits.

    Cows

    A Prince Edward Island import, Cow's ice cream is legendary out east but this is one of only two branches in western Canada. Bypass the tacky T-shirts and choose from 32 extra-creamy flavors.
