Dalmata Gelateria

Mile-End

Ice Cream Desserts & Sweets

Mentioned in: Where to Eat, Drink, and Cheer in Montreal's Mile End

Review Summary

Dalmata Gelateria is described as a place where the ice cream quality and flavor are consistently impressive, with standout options like apricot, fior di latte, brioche with chocolate, and the barbotine Zam hibiscus slush earning frequent praise. The atmosphere is often noted as charming and stylish, with friendly staff and a neighborhood vibe that makes it worth a visit, and several reviews mention shorter wait times compared with nearby cremeries. However, some diners feel the pricing is steep for the portion sizes and that the menu is limited and pricey, with comments about taxes not being included and a reliance on tips. Many readers consider the ice cream to be among the best in the city and worth the trip for flavor quality, while a few find it overrated or not as refined as other local spots. Overall, the consensus highlights high-quality, creative flavors and appealing presentation in a cute setting, tempered by concerns about value and portion size.View restaurant profile
