Review Summary

Les Givrés draws ice cream lovers with an artisanal lineup that includes bold options like black garlic, masala chai, and citrus flavors, plus two vegan choices and a weekly rotating soft serve. The shop also offers a tasting flight and a mini sampler to explore a wide range of flavors, and there are two other locations in town, Hochelaga and Vieux Rosemont. Reviews highlight a mix of favorites such as lime, mango, strawberry rhubarb, matcha, pear vanilla, and raspberry sorbet, with notes that matcha can be meltier than expected. The tasting experience is described as artisanal and not overly sweet, with clear emphasis on Quebec products and no artificial colors or flavors. Some visitors find the portions generous and the pricing fair, while others feel the price point is high for the experience. Service can be slow, especially during busy times or long lines, though many describe the staff as friendly. The menu includes vegan friendly flavors and items along with toppings and extras. A tasting tray with mini scoops is highly recommended to explore the menu, and you can also grab bars, floats, or other treats. The ambience is cozy with a relaxed vibe and street parking nearby makes it convenient for a casual visit.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Koyo Sushi is described as a spacious, pleasant place with a warm welcome and attentive service, where the all you can eat sushi and buffet concept offers a wide range of options at a reasonable price and is a strong draw for groups and families. The food quality is generally good to very good with fresh ingredients and satisfying variety, and many reviews praise the sushi, sashimi and skewers; however, some diners report inconsistencies, with certain dishes not meeting the expected freshness or balance, and a few experiences mention greasy tempura, overly salty soup, or meals that felt rushed or crowded at peak times. The buffet format and the ability to order via tablets are appreciated for efficiency and portion control, though service speed can vary and some tables can feel cramped. The atmosphere and ambience are repeatedly cited as positive, contributing to a comfortable and social dining experience, with comments about the convenience of the location and the tendency for repeat visits.View restaurant profile
