Reviews present Kem CoBa as a Montreal ice cream landmark known for inventive, high quality flavors and a silky texture, with soft serve often highlighted as a standout and many calling it the best in town. The menu features bold, rotating flavors including pandan, lychee, rose, durian, mango, matcha, corn flakes with salted caramel, and other Asian inspired options, along with solid hard ice creams; tasters praise strong, balanced flavors and a creamy mouthfeel that stays light rather than cloying. The experience is sometimes described as artisanal and house made, with several notes about the soft serve and sorbet being refreshingly delicious. The shop operates cash only, so visitors are advised to bring cash, which can contribute to longer lines that nevertheless move at a steady pace. A few reviews mention pricing for small portions as a drawback, but overall the place is called a Montreal classic and a must for ice cream lovers, drawing repeat visits to sample new flavors and enjoy the friendly atmosphere.View restaurant profile

Cinéma Moderne is described as an intimate, small repertory cinema with a strong program of independent, art-house and world films and occasional retrospectives that invite discovery. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a bar and cafe that serve good coffee and beers, popcorn, and brief staff introductions to films that add a hint of personality, even as some find the drink prices high and the overall value not always matched by the cost. Seating is a common point of contention, praised for its coziness but criticized for uncomfortable chairs and limited neck support, with some reviewers noting a desire for upgrades while others appreciate the charm of the space and the focus on the film; a few comments mention minor issues like occasional bugs and the need to arrive early due to a small venue. The programming and audience culture are often highlighted, including a no-phone policy during screenings, a respectful crowd, multilingual trigger warnings, and the chance to explore titles not easily found elsewhere, which makes it ideal for cinephiles and those seeking a quiet night with friends. A practical caveat is the venue's cancellation policy, which does not offer refunds or exchanges for cancellations, a factor to consider given the advance booking required for this intimate setting.View restaurant profile

Overall, La Taverne de Noël is stunning and deeply festive, with enchanting decorations and a cozy, nostalgic Christmas atmosphere that invites visitors to take photos and soak up the mood more than to savor a refined meal. Yet wait times are a common complaint, with lines outside in the cold and slow service inside, especially for those expecting table service or a quick drink. Reviewers note that the entry and ordering flow can feel chaotic or disorganized, and that the new system requires waiting and self service at times. Drinks and treats can be hit or miss, with some hot chocolates and marshmallows praised, some cocktails described as overpriced or average, and desserts varying in quality. Food options are often described as limited or mediocre, with some items made to be reheated or not flavorful, while others please certain palates. While the overall experience is seen as an essential holiday destination for the photos and ambience, it may not satisfy those seeking consistently good food or service, and the hype sometimes exceeds the reality. For a festive visit with patience for crowds and a focus on atmosphere, it is worth considering during quieter hours or on weekdays; those after a calm, refined dining experience may prefer other options, as the decor and vibe stay superb even when service and quality vary.View restaurant profile
