Stop off at Bilboquet where home-made ice creams, sorbets and other treats are well worth the wait. Located on Outremont's trendy Bernard Avenue, this small character-laden spot attracts ice cream lovers from around the city, craving for something sweet and refreshing to stave off the summer heat. Their generous portions can be enjoyed in a regular or sugar cone, or you can always take a tub home with you!
Overall, reviews describe Le Glacier Bilboquet as a beloved Montreal ice cream spot with a wide range of flavors and sorbets, friendly and efficient service, and a welcoming, family friendly vibe; the pedestrian street terrace and the cozy interior are frequently praised, and quick service is noted even when busy; favorites like passion fruit and mango are highlighted, with options to enjoy cones, bowls, or pots. Some criticisms mention occasional icy textures, desserts that are a touch too sweet, and pistachio not meeting expectations, while a few notes point to price or portion concerns; several reviewers also mention menu updates including a bistro style option and items like smoked salmon toast, suggesting the place continues to evolve while remaining a top ice cream destination.
I am only giving five starts because this place hires the most attractive boys to serve us. Thank you so much Bilboquet for the handsome Syrian i gave my number to last year.
Cliente du Bilboquet depuis les années 90. Leur bombe à la framboise m'a accompagnée tout le long de mon enfance. Je suis contente que malgré les changements de propriétaires la qualité & les produits phares sont toujours présents. Je vous encourage à les découvrir où les redecouvrir. 5 étoiles

How unfortunate that Le Bilboquet is nothing like it used to be when we were young. The maple toffee ice cream-which used to be out of this world-has sadly lost its magic. It used to have huge, satisfying chunks of toffee, but now it's just syrup, & there's barely any to speak of. To add to the disappointment, the decor inside has changed drastically-it feels cold & uninviting, a far cry from the cozy charm it once had. Truly a letdown for those of us who grew up loving this place.
Lemon ice cream/gelato was lumpy, bland, & had to pay for the cup. I purchased pistacchio ice cream containers & was very disappointed. It has an awful aftertaste (almond extract like) that overpowered the pistacchio flavor. Very expensive & overrated.

It hurts me to say this because I have been going to this Bilboquet for over 30 years & have so many childhood memories when I was obsessed with the unmatched flavor quality, BUT THEIR FREEZER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY = ICY ICE CHUNKS SEPARATED MELTY DISAPPOINTING EVERY SINGLE TIME. Please wake up I want to love it again !
Delicious ice cream & great location! Lots of flavors also they serve crepes! Their place is very comfortable inside & outside. They are usually busy but when I arrived was quite good. My praline ice cream was good not too sweet & the employee was friendly. I would recommend this place to everyone.
Gros flop pour moi. Glace mal mélangée : j'avais des morceaux de glace dans mes boules. Goûts pas prononcés. Aucun plaisir J'imagine que j'ai dû tombé sur un coup de malchance mais malheureusement je ne peux pas recommander cette adresse (attention aux guêpes, très nombreuses l'été sur la terrasse)
