As the weather is getting warmer, it’s time to kick off the ice cream season in style!<\/strong> We indeed HAVE to make the most of it without moderation, while it lasts. Whether you’re a fan of soft ice cream, more exotic flavours or DIY concepts where you can unleash your creativity and gluttony, here are some places in downtown Montreal that will certainly not disappoint your sweet tooth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Matcha Zanmai<\/a><\/h2>\n
\n

Mackay Street is home to the best matcha-based frozen treats. The house specialty? The green tea soft ice cream cone as well as the vanilla and green tea twist.<\/strong> If purists will take these varieties as they are, know that you can add typical Japanese toppings such as azuki, shiratama and matcha jelly.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Havre aux glaces<\/a><\/h2>\n
\n

Simplicity at its best! This artisanal ice cream parlour is well known to all Montrealers for its freshness since the ice cream is made with custard and the highest-quality ingredients. The sorbets are made up of 60% to 80% real fruit, a little water and sugar… that’s it, that’s all!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dairy Queen<\/a><\/h2>\n
\n

Dairy Queen, aka DQ, specializes in Italian ice cream. From classic desserts to the Blizzard dessert with surprising tastes (cotton candy, Smarties or S’mores to name a few), Dairy Queen will satisfy your craving for coolness… and sugar.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

La Cr\u00e9mi\u00e8re<\/a><\/h2>\n
\n

Making decisions won’t be easy at the Cr\u00e9mi\u00e8re.<\/strong> The very extensive menu offers soft ice creams, of course, but also frozen yogurts, iced coffees if you are looking for a little pick-me-up and some delicious fruit desserts. What else?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
