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

Truly Artisanal Ice Cream in Montreal 🍨

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.

Highly recommend this spot.

Keep calm & enjoy ice cream 🙏

It's one of the best soft-serves in town. They have a great ice-cream scoop assortments, but the spotlight will always be the delicious soft-serve which is usually a twist of vanilla ice-cream with a seasonal (mostly local) fruit sorbet. I've tasted rhubarb, sour cherries, raspberry, honeysuckle & more. So get your fave & go outside where you have a pedestrian-only street during summer, with plenty of benches & green around.
