Soso experience. We walked in with a group of friend & the ladies saw us but there was no greeting. It was a bit awkward since we were the only clients. As we started to look at the menu, they offered us a sample of their flavour of the week : wild blueberry sorbet & epinette gelato. It turns out they only have one flavour on rotation so it could be hit of miss depending on how picky you are with ice cream flavours.
Cannot say portion is generous, & both the gelato & sorbet melted faster than usual. Im glad I ordered in a cup.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨

Easily 5 stars+

Janine is, without question, one of the finest gelato experiences in Montreal. Every detail feels intentional-from the beautifully designed space ✨🏛? to the warm, genuinely kind service 🤍.

The creativity of the owners, Chiu & Océane is extraordinary. Not only are they incredibly kind & welcoming, but their artistic vision 🎨 shines through in every flavor they create. They have mastered the art of using the freshest ingredients & marrying unexpected, atypical combinations in a way that feels both innovative & harmonious. Their flavors evolve with the seasons, changing every week & highlighting unique local ingredients-from delicate olive oil 🫒 to aromatic spruce tips 🌲 & wild Québec blueberries 🫐.

What makes the experience even more special is their generosity & passion for sharing their creations. They never hesitate to offer complimentary samples of their newest flavors, inviting you to discover their latest inspirations. This week's lychee-inspired gelato was a perfect example of their genius innovation-fresh, delicate, & beautifully balanced. 🍧

Their gelato is imaginative without ever feeling gimmicky, showcasing a remarkable understanding of balance. Sweet 🍯, umami 🍄, & bright acidic 🍋 notes come together seamlessly, while the textures are exceptionally smooth & luxurious. Every scoop feels refined, thoughtful, & Michelin-star worthy ✨.

The atmosphere is an oasis in the heart of the city 🌿-peaceful, beautifully curated, & the kind of place that invites you to slow down & savor the moment. It's elegant yet welcoming, dog-friendly 🐶, & effortlessly charming.

My only wish is that Janine were open year-round & every single day 🗓?. It's the kind of place you want to return to in every season, whenever you crave a little moment of beauty, creativity, & joy.

Janine isn't just a place to grab gelato 🍨-it's a destination for anyone who appreciates culinary craftsmanship & genuine hospitality 🤍.

Most amazing ice cream place ever. They come up with really creative combinations of flavor that work so well together, & the quality is unbeatable. Everything is super tasty & clearly made with the best & freshest ingredients. Also the service is top notch. The burrata gelato with white peach & rosemary sorbet, with the olive oil drizzle & salt was incredible! Could not recommend enough!
