Cremerie Gelato is widely praised for quality gelato and a broad flavor lineup, with standout picks like coconut, pistachio, vanilla, Nutella and tiramisu and many reviewers calling it the best gelato in Montreal, with some travelers even driving from outside the city just to experience it.

Mont-Tremblant

Thai Soups Asian

Review Summary

Thaïzone draws mixed responses across reviews: the food is generally good with dishes like pad thai and stir-fry that meet expectations, and some guests praise fast, friendly, family-like service, but others find the staff unfriendly or slow and the atmosphere cafeteria-like. Pricing is seen as high by some and value is described as better at other places, with notes that a similar amount of money can buy more at the downtown Chinese option. The sauce on some orders is abundant and can taste salty, and cleanliness issues are raised about the washroom. The space is said to be shared with another nearby restaurant, which can cause confusion in photos or at check-in. Despite these inconsistencies, Tremblant location reviews highlight exceptional value, and several comments emphasize solid flavors and quick service at times. Overall, Thaïzone offers recognizable fast-casual dishes in a familiar setting, but value and service consistency vary by visit.View restaurant profile
