Corosol and pistachio
Xue L.

Great ice cream place located in the atwater market. I got the corosol and the pistachio and they were both delicious.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

bissap sorbet with pistachio ice cream - small cup

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!

I've tried Lloyd far too many times to count, I'm a hotel regular due to work travel and have been…read morefor breakfast, bites, cocktails, dinner, and ordered to the room. It's a beautiful restaurant, they cover a wide area within the hotel, including a lounge area, a more cocktail bar area, and a full restaurant set up. The beauty? They cover anything you might want. The downside? They're busy and usually severely behind schedule. I've been with great, consistent staff and I've been and left after 20 minutes of no check in. It can be hit or miss, but when it hits? It hits. They also provide the food that you order up to your room, which is probably my favorite part. Hotels rarely offer the same great menu to your room and so I always know when I've had a long workday that I can just get the same great dinner and lounge in bed after and avoid people. They also are great at getting breakfast to your door early, which makes trips to Montreal so much easier, especially if you're going for work. They always have a great selection of drinks, full bar so they offer everything, and the bartenders has been the same for at least a couple years. They're really nice. They do a good job. Ask for the food, it is always good, and the part I love is that they're very good about allergies when you mention it to them. They offer gluten-free bread and they change out ingredients. I've never had a bad meal or snack. So even when sometimes the weight is too long I know I'll be back another day and I'll have something great.

There is a bar in front with lounge style seating. It was eclectic and the music had a French twist. I ate lamb the first night and steak the night after. Both delicious but I liked the lamb better and the nioch was a nice touch. The thinly sliced fries with the steak was difficult to eat. The octopus was amazing and soft. Overall great and attentive staff and good food.

Every location I went to was full but the line goes by quickly. This specific location is in old Montreal so if you're doing sightseeing it's a great spot to chill. The cafe crema is insane. The texture and flavor of this is something I've never had before. The coffee flavor is strong but not offensively strong. Even if you're not a fan of coffee I'd still suggest you try it. The affogato was lovely with the espresso and gelato mixing it creates that lovely icy texture on the outside. It is more pricey so I'd say the safe crema is the way to go.

Panic mode. Thankfully, this place saved the day with its warm and inviting ambiance. We grabbed coffees and croissants, and the owner was quick and efficient, getting us sorted in no time. Even at that ungodly hour, there were already two locals and a dog chatting with the patron--always a good sign of a neighborhood favorite. Can't complain at all. I'm in Vieux Montreal for a few more days and will definitely be back.
