A perfect ice cream and sorbet kiosk at Atwater Market. In the heat, a major line up piles but the wait was worth it. The service was amiable and quick. I got my favorite Vanilla and Pistachio ice cream. It was very good. My sister got raspberry sorbet, and I tasted it and it was excellent. I wish I had hers, but mine was good though. Anyway, I need to come back again for the raspberry flavor. Their menu is full amazing fruit sorbets... I guess I will use this summer to try all of them since I am not planning to go far from my place due to the Covid 19. read more

Havre-aux-Glaces - Vanilla pistachio and raspberry sorbets - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

On an extremely hot day like today, Ice cream is a MUST! I stopped by Havre-aux-Glaces for a nice mango sorbet- which was good and refreshing. They offer a variety of sizes & flavours but I went all out and ordered their 500 ml size. They offer an even wider variety of sorbet & ice cream flavours in that size which is nice & calories don't count ;-) There were two things that I wasn't too fond of and that's why I am not giving a 4*. 1- No samples, really? The first time, I go to an ice cream shop and experience this... 2- you can't mix flavours if you order a 500 ml size. The employee was filling up the ice cream right in front of me... A bit too rigid for me on a sunny day like today! read more

When you LITERALLY go to Dalla Rose every single day and decided that you'll only go in St-Henri around 10:00pm to avoid late night sweets. You know, because I haven't quite given up on the summer bod. Here's a reality check: @havreauxglaces has AMAZING pistachio ice cream that isn't fluorescent green and their ice cream shop closes at 10:00pm as well. I think this one might beat Dalla Rose actually. read more

This ice cream seems to be waiting for you after a day of outdoor activities by Marche Atwater. There were a variety of flavors to choose from and the staff will provide suggestions and samples. The lait de coco sorbet was wonderful- true coconut flavor and the cranberry raspberry was tart and delightful. It's a cash only establishment, so come prepared. The sorbets are vegan! You can also take gelato and sorbet to go. read more

Ok, so if I see a line up for food, it is more than likely I will join the line - that is just the curious kid in me (you should have seen me at the lines outside Uncle Tetsu in Toronto when it opened - man, those line were long). But my expectations are equally high. This place had a long line up, and no doubt the service was quick and ice cream was good - but it fell short because of the sky high expectations. Would I go there again? Yes, as long as there isn't a line up. The location though is amazing. On a hot summer weekend, sitting beside the canal and enjoying the ice cream is great. read more

Stumbled upon this perfectly located ice cream spot by the canal. I never knew it existed in that area. Love their coconut sorbet and pistachio ice cream. SO GOOD! Although I don't know how much of a good it did to my run. I think it kinda compensated for the calories I had burned. Oh well. Definitely worth it! Now it's just gonna be a conscious effort to avoid un-doing my workout efforts. Distractions and temptations I tell you. On a serious note, do try this place. read more

Ideal spot next to the Atwater market with a few picnic tables to grab an ice cream cone after a day spent shopping or galavanting by the Canal Lachine. There's always a line up here but it moves quickly enough; there's always plenty of nice staff with friendly smiles to serve you. They have an assortment of homemade ice creams and sorbets to try; you can always ask for a tasting if you're not sure which to choose, and trust me, making a decision can be hard! You have the option of sugar cone or a cup, and the number of scoops. Two scoops on a cone will set you back 7$ but it's so worth it! I opted for a scoop of the chocolate and one of the espresso. The chocolate was mind blowing at 72% chocolate, but too sweet and a perfect combo with the rich coffee flavour. Cone was fresh and I thoroughly enjoyed my treat, ass always! read more

Deep, bright colours. Rich. Fresh. Innovative. Creative. Havre-aux-Glaces is in a special location, just by the Atwater Market and the Lachine Canal. Not only is there so much to do, but so much to see and enjoy. Montreal is beautiful, especially in the summer, and nothing is more soothing than a mouth-watering ice cream or sorbet to top it off. While you enjoy your icy-cool treat, explore the Market's vast variety of vendors. From alluring flowers, to local and fresh produce, as well as assorted cheeses from all over the world, fine wines, a wonderful bakery, and so much more. You could spend hours just exploring, relaxing, and finding pleasure in what the Atwater Market has to offer. Take a walk down the Lachine Canal with your ice cream or sorbet, sit on the grass by the water, watch the dogs play, and the runners and bikers whisk on by. If you're feeling more adventurous, rent a pedal-boat or even an electric-charged boat (don't get ahead of yourself, it's slow), enjoy the scenery from the canal and be astonished by the rich history that surrounds you. When you pass by Havre-aux-Glaces to quench your palate, you are quenching each and every sense. The experience that comes with it makes it so much more than picking up a simple ice cream or sorbet. My favourites are strawberry with black pepper and blood orange. Now get ready to have your mind blown. read more

More than 20 kinds of ice cream and sorbet. Amazing and delicious. Highly recommend for eating. read more

Yum! So delicious, especially on a hot day! The ice cream is so rich and flavorful! Tastes homemade! If you are at Atwater Market how could you not stop there! Reward yourself! read more

Yes, top location just between Lachine canal and Atwater market. If you choose to sit on the picnic tables while eating your ice cream you may be rewarded with a beautiful view of the market and Mount Royal. There is always a small line up in front of the counter, but it moves fast. Make sure you have cash, no cards are accepted. All of the above of course wouldn't matter if the ice cream is not of best quality and indeed it is. There are six ice creams and six sorbets on the daily list. They rotate seasonally so every time there may be a little surprise of new flavour waiting for us. The goodness comes in three cup sizes and cones of one or two scoops. I normally opt for the smallest cup, you can still fit two flavours in it. My favourites this season are the chestnut ice cream and the coconut milk sorbet. The summer is not over yet, lets visit for another treat! read more

Pistachio pistachio pistachio!!! And, eat it while strolling through Atwater Market? Hellzzz to the yes!! Location gives this outdoor small covered space a for-sure 5th star. Grab a cup or cone of their creamy dreamy ice cream, or there's sorbet for those that want something other to satisfy their sweet tooth, and take a stroll through the flower and produce stalls. My pistachio choice was wonderful - perfect amount of sweet. A slight salty taste from the nuts. It was in the mid 80s (F) when we stopped by, so this afternoon dessert was not shy when it came to the melting process. A classic afternoon treat! read more

Good ice cream. Can't beat the location on a summer's day! will be back for more.

One of the best things about Montreal Summer is revolved around food, and Havre-aux-glaces is no exception to the rule! This location is situated along the Lachine Canal, right across from one of Montreal's best known markets, Marché Atwater! The great thing about being near the canal is that there are many things the area offers aside from the market. You can rent bikes, a canoe or kayak, dragon boat practices, Terrace Ste-Ambroise for a brew, and when the heat is on, a great perfectly located place for Artisanal Sorbet and Gelato/Ice Cream. Not only do they taste awesome, but the flavours are inventive as well as having some classics! My brother and I tried the Cassis and Mango. Mango is one of my favourites and they did not disappoint. Cassis was also quite good, and next time, I would definitely pair it up with lemon sorbet! Traveling around with my brother, a professional photographer, I tend to let his creative eye capture the food. He let me use this photo to capture this sweet treat! So photo is courtesy of Maurice Li. read more

I tried Dulce de Leche flavor for the first time at this place. Great ice cream that you can enjoy while walking through Lachine Canal! The only downside is the price! read more

Located just across the street from Marche Atwater (closer to the side of the canal), Havre-aux-Glaces has an assortment of icecream and sorbet flavours. Their flavours are pretty creative and I definitely appreciate how their icecream has fillings in it (e.g. nuts, crumbs, etc.) I went with a small cup with the bissap sorbet and pistachio ice-cream. For a hot summer day, the portion was just right, and for one serving, I feel like a small is the right amount. The sorbet was very flavourful - both tangy and sweet, definitely not a flavour I've seen elsewhere before. The pistachio was pretty rich too, and had some pieces of pistachio in it, which I definitely appreciated. It was also very creamy and not that sweet as compared to the sorbet, which was a pleasant surprise. Lines do get long on hot, summer days, especially around the afternoon, so plan accordingly! read more

We went there last night, on a warm spring evening. Perfectly situated near the Atwater market and next to the Lachine Canal. We got the 'strawberry and pepper' which was delicious, surprisingly, and the maple crème brulée which was good though lacked a bit of 'dairy/milky' background to me. So far though, probably the best ice-creams we've had in Montreal. PS: It's a cash only so come with change in your pocket. read more

I came here after checking out the Atwater Market-- it was good but nothing overwhelming. If you're in the area and want ice cream, check it out but I left wishing I had waited to find a gelato spot. read more

Cannot beat the location: Marché Atwater and the Lachine Canal. Came here late in the evening with a friend and the queue wasn't too bad. Despite a huge sign saying 'cash only', people were clutching their credit cards and being denied once they got to the counter...read people! The ice cream was yummy, but there were issues with the refrigeration because the ice cream was melting before it was even handed over to me with a warning that it was kinda soft, so I had to eat it super fast and couldn't really walk around with it. Liked this place a lot, mostly for the location, but it's really not the most extraordinary ice cream that this city has to offer. read more

Their ice cream is the absolute best! I came back a few times for it. There was a maple flavor that I was addicted to! Come with cash if you do not have a Canadian credit card. read more

The other reviewers are 100% correct. This is the best gelato I have tried in Montreal. Where Billboquet was underwhelming, every flavour I have sampled from Havre Aux Glaces has been extraordinary. They keep a freezer full of half-litres for takeaway in addition to the flavours in their cooler for sampling. Highly recommend the pear & sortilege as well as the ginger. read more

Absolutely delicious! I am a crazed ice cream lover and I'd say this is of my top spots downtown. I had two scoops, pistachio and raspberry, and they were both so flavourful and dense. I usually like having chocolate pieces or just 'stuff' in my ice cream, but the taste was enough that I didn't mind with just the cream. The waffle cone was thicker than the usual one-layered crust you find elsewhere which just makes it that much better. Definitely a must-try if you're near Atwater! read more

The chocolate is perfect. Rich in flavor, served in a waffle cone and perfectly creamy. I would be lying if I said that I didn't come here twice during my 4 day trip to Montreal. I highly, highly recommend the ice cream here and a stroll along the river or through the farmers market. I only tried the chocolate, though. I didn't want to mess with perfection. read more

Really great ice cream! They have a small selection, but everything they make is phenomenal! I had a scoop of the raspberry and a scoop of chocolate, and they were both delicious! Highly recommend. read more

Great ice cream! Probably one of the best in Montreal. They are only open during the summer and serve only ten flavors but they are all delicious read more

Yelp tip: The Yelp geolocation for this spot is slightly off which confused us -- just keep walking towards the water behind AtWater market and you'll find it near the pedestrian bridge that crosses the river Anyway, this spot is great! You can combine flavors too -- we got mango and raspberry and it was sooo delicious! Sat down under a tree by the water and ate away before hopping on the 747 back to the airport! read more

Wonderful ice cream & gelato. Friendly vendors. Best location at the Atwater Market. Love it!

Love this place. Half of their gelato does not contain dairy, but unlike most places, is also not exclusively fruit. They usually have both coconut and chocolate-coconut available, which are as rich and creamy as ice cream. My go-to is coconut with raspberry. This is definitely the best gelato I've found in Montreal. Word of warning though, they only take cash! read more
