Des choix de saveurs inusitées (ail noir) qu'il est possible de goûter, plus rare (chaï) ou classiques (citron) c'est sur que vous trouverez de quoi ravir vos papilles!
Small lineup at Les Givrés on a weekend afternoon. They have two other locations in town (Hochelaga & Vieux-Rosemont). Only 6 people allowed in at a time with no sampling. 8 ice cream, 6 sorbet & two vegan flavours along with a weekly rotating soft serve. Scoops were $3.48 (1/2 scoop) to $6.74 (3 scoops).
- La tournée ($7.61) - 6 flavour tasting flight. Went with lime, mangue, fraise-rhubarbe, matcha sora, poire vanillée & framboise. Matcha was surprisingly very melty; more matcha latte than true matcha. Best of the sorbets were the mango & raspberry

Le service était vraiment lent. J'y étais le lundi après-midi vers 16h. Il y avait une longue file d'attente, cela a pris 30 minutes d'attente. Il n'y avait aucun événement particulier dans le quartier.
Nice ice cream, the service was very gentle, but I didn't liked what I chosed. It was some kind of little box with 3 flavors, covered in whipped cream. The whipped cream was very tastefull & covered the rest of the flavors, so I couldn't really enjoy them. I found it overpriced for the experience I had.
Anyway.. maybe I will go back & try something else.
So far i've tried the masala chai takehome pint that i found at LOCO plateau a few days ago. It was incredible for vegan ice cream, tasted like gingerbread cookies but not too sweet & was made with a local supplier of oat milk concentrate called DAM & all healthy ingredients. I stumbled on the Villeray shop today when walking around doing errands. They have 3 vegan flavours , lots reg ice cream & sorbets . I got the quebec camerises & quebec wild blueberries sorbets in a waffle cone which complemented each other really well & was a perfect consistency & balance of flavours & it came in a decent portion for the price
This place is a gem! If you're an ice cream lover looking for quality over quantity & flavor over fluff, Les Givrés in Villeray should be on your list. We tried their mini & multi-scoop sampler bowls - perfect for discovering their wide variety of flavors.
⭐ What We Loved:
• Flavors that blew us away:
• Poire Vanillée (Vanilla Pear) - so refreshing & lightly floral.
• Pistachio - nutty, creamy, & not overly sweet.
• Bleuet/Cassis Sorbet (Blueberry/Blackcurrant) - bright, tart, & vibrant!
• Unique & adventurous picks:
They're not afraid to get creative - black garlic, ginger, & even Masala Chai (yes, a real chai flavor!) made with bold spices. These are small-batch, chef-inspired creations, & you can really taste the craftsmanship in every scoop.
• Vegan & dairy-free options:
They have a decent selection of vegan-friendly flavors clearly marked - like the Banarama & Caramel O'cacao. Great if you're skipping dairy.
• Not too sweet:
Every flavor we tried tasted natural & not overloaded with sugar - feels like a guilt-free treat (well almost 😉).
🍦 Format & Pricing:
• You can choose from mini cups to 3-scoop combos. Prices range from ~$3.50 to ~$6.75 (very fair for this quality).
• Extras include toppings like brownie, almonds, sauces, or whipped cream.
• You can also grab bars, floats, sandwiches, or their signature'Roteux' treat.
🍨 Tip: Get the tasting tray!
• It comes with 6 mini scoops, each a different flavor the perfect way to explore their menu.
🪑 Ambience & Location:
• There's a cozy indoor space & a few spots to sit nearby very relaxed vibe.
• Street parking is usually available around the corner. Perfect for a short walk.
J'ai été très chanceux aujourd'hui, il n'avait pas de fil d'attendre pour goûter leur délicieuse crème glacée à la fraise & vanille. Vraiment très bonne. Je dois me dire que la modération est parfois une sage décision. :-)
Très bonne crème glacée cependant le service est extrêmement lent. Même avec deux employés cela prend environ ~4 minutes par client.
C'est dommage car c'est une crème glacée dont tout le monde raffole dans le quartier.
Prévoir un peu d'attente mais le goût en vaut le coup !
Nous avons testé la saveur du moment (vanille fraise twisté) & le rotteux, très bon & prix corrects
Excellente crème glacée, nous avons essayé le plateau à six boules de saveurs différentes & c'était tout simplement divin. Les saveurs sont franches & pas trop sucrées. Je n'aime pas particulièrement la crème glacée,mais celle-ci wow!! Nous sommes répartis avec des pots de crème glacée à emporter. Nous y retournerons encore, c'est certain. À quand un pignon sur rue à Laval?

The only ice cream shop in Montreal that can truly claim to be artisanal. Many trendy places throw the word'natural' around but we have no idea what we are consuming. This place is transparent, the ingredients are listed on their website as well as on the containers to-go. Well done! This should honestly be a norm. If you aren't able to wait in the long lines, at peak times, come at a calmer time of day & take a container to-go.
La glace est délicieuse!! Les quelques minutes d'attentes en valent la peine. Personnel sympathique!
Petite twist vanille & rhubarbe (saveur du moment) & roteux
Artisanal ice cream from Montreal. Everything is home made, from the cornet to the chocolate sauce & obviously the ice cream. Mostly made with Quebec products. No added colours or flavours & no air inside it.
