Le Patio Bar Laitier presents a warm, vintage cremerie vibe with a wide range of flavors, including vegan options, and ice cream that is often creamy and tasty, with standout chocolate coated hazelnut and a long list of fruity and classic choices; service is friendly and fast, the intimate setting with a small terrace on a pedestrian street adds charm, and late hours make it a convenient stop for a sweet craving, though some reviews note a lychee sorbet that isn't very pronounced and occasional issues with soft serve, melting ice cream or a chocolate coating that could be improved.
If you had asked me before the last winter which location in the Plateau Mont-Royal was the best for ice cream, I would have said Le Patio hands down, as it was my favorite place to grab a bite since 2022; but I've just had the utter misfortune of going there today (May 1st) & watching for 20 minutes as two unqualified employees tried to figure out how to create a very simple vanilla ice cream with brownie combo, after which I was told they ran out of the custom plates (because this is a large, multi-person ice cream order intended for me & friends to share) we were then given a simple serving cup, with barely any chocolate syrup despite specifically requesting more as well as a single Costco box brownie (they hadn't even bothered to take the sticker off the box.) I then reluctantly had to hand over $10 plus tax for an ice cream that I could've gotten at La Diperie which is famously expensive, for half the price.
Oh Le Patio, how your standards have fallen! The very next time I feel the need for some ice cream, I shall simply go to McDonalds & bring my own brownies from Costco to come with it, atleast their employees are more qualified to serve it.

One of the few ice cream places in Montreal that is dog-friendly: they have homemade frozen'pupsicles' for purchase, for when you're on an ice cream walk with your dog. Love!
Nous avons commandé un sorbet au litchi & une crème glacée à la noisette enrobée de chocolat.

Petit endroit chaleureux
Service rapide
Crème glacée noisette enrobée au chocolat très bon
(-)
Goût du sorbet au litchi peu prononcé (ce n'est pas le meilleur que j'ai mangé) & texture très'élastique'
L'enrobé au chocolat était mal fait. La crème glacée coulait dès la seconde qu'on a mis les pieds dehors au point où à un moment donné ça coulait sur nous. La boule de crème glacée a fini par tomber par terre après 2 bouchées.
Tellement de choix!!! C'est génial d'avoir pensé aux options véganes!!! :) La propriétaire, Jessie, est hyper sympathique, tout comme son équipe! J'ai été bien servie, j'y retournerai c'est certain!! En plus, ça ouvre tard, donc parfait pour les cravings de fin de soirée!! 🤤

We ordered Fraise, cotton candy, pistachio & Supreme sundae. They are great! Also the service is fantastique! Merci beaucoup! My kids love their ice cream 🍦
Le Bar Laitier Le Patio est un vrai bijou dans le Plateau. Je prends toujours leur crème glacée aux pépites de chocolat, crémeuse & délicieuse à chaque fois. L'emplacement est parfait & l'endroit dégage une ambiance de crèmerie à l'ancienne qui rend la visite à la fois spéciale & nostalgique. Un incontournable pour une vraie gâterie estivale.
an ice cream spot with a lovely terrasse, perfect for enjoying a sweet treat on a warm day. Its location on the pedestrian side of Avenue Mont-Royal makes it an ideal stop during a summer stroll.
The menu features a long list of fruity & classic flavors.
A delightful place to cool down & indulge in delicious ice cream while taking in the summer vibes.
