Best ice cream places in Montreal - 2020 edition

I usually do an ice cream summary at the end of summer, with a list of the best places I went to over the course of the season. This year being 2020, I waited quite a while before deciding to venture outside and as a result, did not go to as many ice cream parlors as I would have hoped. But, there are nonetheless a few spots I’d like to discuss here.

swirl

I have been OBSESSED with Swirl since they opened their doors last year! They are hands down the best ice cream place in Montreal. Their formula is super simple : one new flavor every 2 weeks, made with the freshest, available local ingredients. You have the choice between, the flavor of the moment, vanilla-coconut or a mix of both. I highly recommend that you choose the mix of both favors so that you do not miss out. Their soft serve is so light, so fresh and refreshing, not to forget so beautiful! And, because they are made with coconut milk instead of cream, they are perfect for those of us who are lactose intolerant! Swirl is the best remedy against a hot summer day.

From top left to bottom : raspberry, blood orange, blueberry and honeyberries. Full disclosure, I’ve only had time to go to Swirl twice this year (for honeyberries and blueberry) but their ice creams are so beautiful that I used some of last year’s photos.

unicone

Unicone is another great lactose-free ice cream place. They too have a different flavor of the moment every two weeks but with a different spin. Unicone takes you around the world as each flavor is representative of a country or city. Each cone usually combines two separate flavors, mixing ice cream and sorbet, which is great but I must admit that some combos don’t necessarily work out as well as expected. All the cones, without exception, though, are beautiful. I love this place, but I must say that some flavors are a bit heavier than others, so they are not always as refreshing as we’d hoped.

From top left : butter pecan and berries, gianduja and red berries, mocha sanani and cherry, pina colada. Again, since I’ve only been there twice this summer, I shared photos I took last year.

iconoglace

Iconoglace opened this year and took over Rachid aux milles saveurs. What I love about this place is that it also offers a vegan (no lactose) option, and it’s really not far from my home! They too have flavors of the moment, but they really are not as strongly developed as Swirl or Unicone, so the flavors do not always pop as much as one would hope. However, what they do have, on the other hand, is a menu offering wide variety of tasty treats like slushies, milkshakes, sundaes, affogato, kombucha floats, etc. On a hot, humid, summer day, their slushie floats really come in handy!

From top to bottom right : the Brownie Supreme (vanilla soft serve, brownies, local fresh strawberries, hot fudge, strawberry/ rhubarb jam, whipped cream, hazelnut) with a mango/ lime twist sprinkled with cayenne pepper; passion fruit slushie with vanilla soft serve; honeyberry slushie with a vanilla soft serve.

Dessert Café Momo

Two years ago, I ate a bingsoo for the first time and it was a revelation. Never had I tasted something so deliciously refreshing as a bingsoo and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. These are Korean dessert made of  frozen condensed milk shaved into the lightest, weightless little cloud, with the topping of your choice, my personal favorite being red bean. The best place in Montreal to get this is undoubtedly Dessert Café Momo. Sadly, they’re a bit far from where I usually am so I rarely get an opportunity to get my much craved frozen dessert. Their red bean bingsoo has corn flakes inside, as well as mochi bites, which provides a texture diversity that other flavors lack. That being said, strawberry is also pretty awesome.

On the top left corner : strawberry and red bean bingsoo. That photo was taken this year and since the take out version doesn’t provide a good enough representation of what bingsoos are, I am sharing photos from previous years. Strawberry, red bean and on the bottom, matcha and mango.

Unfortunately, that’s all the ice cream I ate this summer. I couldn’t do the ice cream tour I normally do every year, discovering new places. Hopefully, next year will be better and I’ll be able to do more! In the meantime, if you haven’t tried any of the above places, take advantage of the final days of summer to check them out!

Le Red Tiger : The taste of my childhood

Growing up, I envied my friends for all the fun and tasty meals and snacks they always brought to school. Mashed potatoes, ground meat patties with brown sauce, grilled cheese sandwiches, french fries, etc, were all exotic and exciting foods for me. My parents made exclusively Vietnamese meals and I could not stand eating them anymore. Not Pho again!? If not pho, it’d be some other soup with noodles (sometimes with duck, fish, pork…). My parents made lots of soup meals because they could make huge batches ahead of time and simply take 5 minutes to boil the noodles at supper time. When we didn’t have noodle soup meals, we’d eat meat with rice, generally braised pork in caramel sauce or braised fish (which would stink up the whole apartment building!), lots of homemade spring rolls (rice paper wrapped around noodles, meats, vegetables, dipped in fish sauce) and when ever we’d go to our uncle’s house, we would always be served the same thing, which is Banh xeo, a type of crispy crepe with pork and shrimp inside. Bottom line is, I ate strictly Vietnamese meals growing up and I quickly grew tired of them as I went to a predominantly white school and discovered a bunch of “new” stuff to eat. Even our desserts quickly became uninteresting to me. We only had che, which consists of several variations of a sweet soup or pudding, some with mung beans, black-eyed peas, kidney beans, tapioca, jelly, fruit , and coconut cream. I often wondered why I couldn’t have what my friends had, like Jos Louis or any other artificial packed cake.

But now, as a grown up, I hate myself for having looked down on my childhood meals and for having taken them for granted. I cannot tell you how much I miss their smell, their taste, their texture, their freshness. And I hate myself for having never learned how to prepare those meals. I have gone to some Vietnamese restaurants and though everything tastes great, nothing tastes quite like what I had as a child. Nowadays, I would often crave my mother’s braised fish, my father’s pho, my uncle’s banh xeo, our old neighbor’s nem nuong, and every hot summer night, I would kill for a refreshing bowl of che. Age makes you nostalgic, I guess.

Two years ago, I went to this great restaurant that finally did the trick and managed to trigger this wave of nostalgia in me: Le Red Tiger, in the Village. And for the last two years, it’s my place of choice to celebrate my birthday with my sister. We’d order more food than we should and reminisce about our childhood.

Le Red Tiger

1201 rue de Maisonneuve Est, Montreal, QC H2X 2A1

(514) 439-7006

Owned by Dan Pham, Thach Phong and Émilie Nguyen, all three of vietnamese descent, Le Red Tiger is a fun, welcoming and unassuming restaurant that serves traditional Vietnamese street food. The decor is simple but warm, and the staff is super efficient.

Everything in their menu is pretty awesome but I have a few favorites! Of course, I never go to Le Red Tiger and not order the Banh Xeo. Banh Xeo are usually pretty big, as big as a whole large plate, so you’re full after eating a single one, but here, at Le Red Tiger, they had the brilliant idea of making them bite size! That way, you get to order other stuff without feeling like glutton! Each mini pancake has a little portion of pork and shrimp, topped with a little bit of coconut milk.

Look at how cute they are! Of course, they come with a salad, an assortment of herbs and fish sauce

The papaya salad is probably my all-time favorite salad. Crunchy, full of flavor and so, so refreshing! It’s awesome and I order it every chance I get. Then, I’d go for the Nem Nuong, which consists of a sweet, sour, salty and spicy fermented pork or beef sausage, wrapped in rice rolls with herbs and lettuce, and of course, you dip the whole thing in fish sauce. This nem doesn’t exactly taste like the one I so often enjoyed as a child (not sour enough!) but it’s pretty delicious! My sister, on the other hand, would order the clams cooked in coconut milk and turmeric. They’re fine, but since I’ve never been a huge fan of clams, this dish leaves me a bit disinterested. What stole my heart, however, is the Bo La Lot : minced beef wrapped in betel leaves, grilled over hot charcoal. They’re the ultimate best. Smoky, crunchy, fatty, flavorful, they’re everything. People often think of soup noodle dishes when it comes to typical Vietnamese cuisine, but in my opinion, Bo La Lot should be there as well. It is considerably underrated and more people should discover it.

If you’re looking for a proper Vietnamese culinary experience, the snails are a must. They are not pictured here but you really should go for it, at least once! We ordered them the first time we ate at Le Red Tiger. They are delicious but a bit time consuming, although it is super fun to pick them out of their shells!

Another great thing about Le Red Tiger is that they serve alcohol. Of course, there’s beer and wine, but they also offer amazing cocktails! And what’s a fun night out without cocktails?

Look how pretty they are!

I love Le Red Tiger. I hope it stays around for a long time. It’s only a shame they don’t serve braised fish. It is the dish I miss the most from my childhood and I can’t find it anywhere in Montreal. But that’s ok because the rest of Le Red Tiger’s menu allows me to travel back in time and revisit key moments of my childhood, good or bad.

If you’re looking for a terrific Vietnamese culinary experience, I strongly recommend this place. Reserve a table in advance, though, because that place is always full!

Other great Vietnamese restaurants in Montreal include the following:

• Y lan

• Ong ca can

• Hà

• Pho Tay Ho

• Cafeden

Enjoy!

The best dim sum in Montreal

Dim sum are, in my opinion, some of the most perfect foods there are. They are bite-size, they come in a wide variety of incredible flavors, each more delicate than the last, and they’re all beautifully as well as intricately folded in a wide variety of styles. I mean, they simply are the best! They look amazing and taste even better! There are quite a few restaurants in Montreal that prepare them but none of them were able to measure up to Kim Fung. I don’t know how long that restaurant’s been established in Montreal but I feel like it’s been there all my life. A lot of memories are linked to Kim Fung, and all of them are great because the food is amazing. Over time, it became a family tradition to go there to celebrate birthdays; not because the decor is beautiful or anything, but because we know with certainty that we will not be disappointed by our meal.

Kim Fung

1111, Rue Saint-Urbain, #M05, Montreal, QC, H2Z 1Y6

(514) 878 2888

If you don’t know the restaurant, you might find it a bit hard to find. It’s inside a small shopping mall, right next to the Place d’Armes metro station. Go up the stairs, walk towards the back and there it is. The restaurant is quite big, so you can’t miss it.

It must be pointed out that dim sum is traditionally served for breakfast so don’t expect them on the supper menu. Kim Fung serves them every day between 7 am and 3 pm, but in order to have a table for you, make sure you go there early enough, or else you’ll have to wait a while. It also helps, if you can, to go on weekday mornings to avoid having to wait.

Also, don’t go there if you’re in a hurry. Make sure you have some time ahead so that you can fully enjoy the experience. There is no menu you can choose from. The waiters push carts around the restaurant, displaying the food. If something looks interesting to you, let the waiters know and they’ll take a plate from their cart to hand it to you. That is why you have to make sure you have some time ahead. Sometimes, you have to wait awhile for your favorite dim sum cart to show up!

For example, it is inconceivable for me to go for dim sum and not eat Har Gow (shrimp dumpling) and Siu Mai (pork and shrimp), which I consider pillars to the whole experience! And I will stay in the restaurant until they bring out their carts!

Left: siu mai. Middle: har gow. Right: fun guo

There are so many varieties, steamed and fried, that it is impossible to try everything. That is why we always end up ordering more than we should have… There is always something we want to try, and another, and another…

That being said, my personal favorites are the following:

• Har gow

• Siu mai

• Fun guo (similar to har gow)

• Steamed buns

• Sticky rice in lotus leaf

• Stuffed crab claw

• Rice noodle rolls

• Deep-fried taro puffs

The rice noodle rolls are the only ones that have been captured in a photo because I was too much of a glutton to take the time to photograph everything we ordered. But trust me when I say that everything looked amazing and tasted otherworldly!

The restaurant also serves a variety of desserts like little custard tartlets, jelly-like squares and sesame balls, but I would recommend the tofu in ginger sauce. After such a hefty meal, it’s the perfect palate cleanser.

It doesn’t look like much but believe me, it is delightfully light and refreshing! This is the only time I actually enjoy eating tofu! I think the sweet ginger sauce helps a lot.

In order to fully experience dim sum, it’s better to go as a group. This will allow you to order more meals and have more choices to taste from. If you go alone or as a couple, choose strategically; your stomach can only handle so much.

If you ever happen to be in Montreal’s Chinatown and looking for a good and affordable breakfast or brunch place, try to stop by Kim Fung for some dim sum! You will not be disappointed!

The best ice cream places in Montreal

Although we're already in September, summer doesn't seem to be over any time soon! The heatwaves just keep on coming, and I long for the days where I can finally curl up in a comfy blanket, with a hot chocolate and read a book or watch a movie. It's always so hot and humid outside that I struggle to picture that day ever coming. 

On the other hand, a hot summer day is the perfect excuse to go out and eat an ice cream cone! Ice cream is my all time favorite dessert: it's cold, refreshing, sweet, creamy and so versatile! I spent a good part of summer trying new places and coming back to some personal favorites, so I thought I could share my top 5 ice cream places of choice! 

Don't they all look beautiful and delicious? Making good ice cream really is not as easy as one would believe. There are countless ice cream parlors out there but only a select few focus on originality, both flavor-wise and presentation-wise, and succeed! So, with no further ado, here are my top 5 favorite ice cream places so far, in no particular order. I would never be able to rank them!

Kem CoBa

Kem CoBa: 60, av. Fairmount Ouest 

Kem CoBa is a Mile-End favorite. They offer a generous choice of special and/or exotic flavors such as pandan tree leaf, salted butter, corn flakes and Vietnamese coffee ice cream, but the highlight, in my opinion, is what they call the "twist": a soft-serve, half ice cream half sorbet, combining 2 different flavors into one magnificent and distinct taste. The Twist's flavors change every 2 weeks so you really have to go there regularly over the course of the summer in order to try them all out! My personal favorite is La Québécoise (blueberry and honey), although La Cocotte (coconut and strawberry) is also pretty awesome !

Monsieur Crémeux

Monsieur Crémeux: 43 Rue Beaubien E.

Monsieur Crémeux opened its doors a few years ago and at first, I wasn't a big fan. I'm not sure if it was because of the decor (the place was a bit barren, hot and depressing) but they have renovated since my last visit and turned their place into a cool order-at-the-window parlor, with an eye-catching giant menu on the side of the building. I came back this summer and they have new items on the menu, including vanilla soft-serve topped with candied cherries and lemon crumble, or vanilla soft-serve topped with caramel coulis and salty peanuts and pretzels. Both are delicious! They also serve slushies, floats and hard ice creams but their soft serve ice creams are, in my opinion, their main feature!

Gema pizzeria

Gema pizzeria: 6827, rue St-Dominique

Gema pizzeria serves one of the best pizzas in Montreal and also one the best soft-serve ice creams! You could either go inside the restaurant and treat yourself to a delicious pizza before ordering dessert, or, you could simply go to the side of the building and order your ice cream directly at the window (you can also order a pizza to go at the same window. How awesome is that?). What's special about Gema is that they serve frozen custard. That means that their soft-serve is creamier, thicker and smoother than regular ice cream. They usually have a flavor of the moment (my absolute favorite is vanilla/pistachio) but you could also order the regular vanilla or chocolate soft-serve with a topping of your choice. If you are in the restaurant, I would seriously recommend the affogato. If you order at the window, I would recommend either the flavor of the moment, which ever it is (they're all good!), or vanilla with nuts or chocolate sauce. 

Kamehameha snack bar

Kamehameha snack bar: 1190 St-Catherine Est

From the amazing geniuses behind The Red Tiger, this cool hawaiian snack bar opened just last year in the Village. Kamehameha serves a pretty fish-shaped cone filled with a choice of Nutella, custard or red beans, topped with a delicious soft-serve. The flavor changes every now and then. When I went there, the flavor was coconut/Nutella. It was so hot and humid outside that day that I was a bit concerned that coconut/nutella might be a bit too heavy, but it wasn't! It was actually very light and refreshing! What a pleasant surprise! The cone is also topped with shredded coconut and sprinkles, and fruits, which was sooooo pretty! For the filling inside the cone, I would recommend either the nutella or the red beans. The vanilla custard was a bit of a miss, I have to admit. The cone tastes like cinnamon and is chewy with crunchy edges, which is perfect! 

Cafe Momo

Cafe Momo: 5525 Monkland

I would call Cafe Momo the discovery of the summer. Their specialty is the bingsoo, a Korean dessert. Though not technically an ice cream, I decided to include the bingsoo in my top 5 because of how refreshing and delicious and mind blowing it is! So what is a bingsoo? It's frozen  condensed milk shaved into the lightest, weightless little cloud, with the topping of your choice (my personal favorites are red bean or strawberry). It doesn't look or sound like much but I was hooked since the very first bite! My first bingsoo was with the red bean topping. They added cereal inside the shaved condensed milk and topped the whole thing with a red bean sauce, sliced almonds and mochi cubes. The result is a mixture of tastes and textures like you have never had before! It is addictive! I cannot stop thinking about it. I need it. All the time. The only negative comment I have about cafe Momo is that it is so damn far from where I live or work! But the trip is definitely worth it! 

Honorable mentions

There are great number of other places you could stop by for a very good ice cream. Here are a few honorable mentions:

• Cremerie Pandan (3504 Notre-Dame St. W)
• Bo-bec (1300 Laurier E.)
• Havre aux glaces (inside Jean-Talon market)
• L'armoire à glaces (6220 St-Hubert)
• Dalla rose (4609, Notre Dame O.)

Up next

There are still a few more places I haven't had the chance to try out yet! Before summer is over, I would like to stop by Ca Lem, Cool&Simple (for their mochi ice creams!) and Chez Rachid aux mille et une saveurs and give their ice cream a taste!

Le Elsdale: a nice little hideaway in Rosemont

It's very difficult, in Rosemont, to find a nice place to sit down for a nice coffee or drink and a good bite to eat. The difficulty does not lie with the amount of choices, quite the contrary, actually. There are more than plenty of coffee shops and restaurants but they are mostly average in terms of the quality of the food, decor and comfort. The good places are very sparse and, as a result, always crowded. 

And then, Le Elsdale appeared a few months ago, in October. This lovely little café/ restaurant/ boutique satisfies all my needs: it's open all day long (except on mondays where it closes at 5pm) so it serves brunch, lunch and supper; the minimalist and modern decor is the perfect blend of warmth, comfort and brightness; the meals are unique and original; and finally but most importantly,  their drinks, all their drinks from the morning coffee to the evening cocktails, are delicious!

Le Elsdale

2381 Rue Beaubien E, Montréal, QC H2G 1N3

(514) 725-9769

As you can see in the picture, Le Elsdale is right in front of the Beaubien movie theater. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming and unpretentious, and so is the clientele. Once you're done eating and drinking, you could very easily take a little stroll towards the back, where the restaurant becomes a store. You'll see a variety of very stylish home and kitchen supplies and you will have to resist the urge to buy everything! 

Though always tempted, I never bought anything. I shop with my eyes. When it comes to the food, though, I make my decisions with my belly.

For brunch and lunch, my absolute favorite thing to order is the breakfast sandwich. The ingredients in themselves are not that peculiar: eggs, bacon, tomato, lettuce, and cheese, with a side of roasted potatoes. However, the sandwich tastes a-ma-zing! I usually order it with their homemade lemonade with hibiscus, and I'm in heaven!

If you feel like eating something lighter, they serve an amazing gravlax, but what really stood out was the nordic shrimps on toast. Tasty, new and refreshing! It's served with pickled rhubarb, grapefruit, endive, with a lime labneh. It looks great but tastes better!

Are you hungry yet? I am! and I just ate...

If you feel like ordering something sweet, go for pancakes! The flavor seems to change, often varying between blueberry and strawberry, but it doesn't matter. Their pancakes are delicious! They come with lots of fruits of course, as well as a special whipped cream and coulis that make you forget about maple syrup.

They also have a to-go counter where you can order cakes, cookies, muffins, scones and the likes (not necessarily to-go, by the way!). I haven't tried them all yet but the cookies and the scones are heavenly.

For the evening, now. They have a different menu as well as a cocktail menu! 

Cocktail wise, my personal favorite is the Rosemont (vodka, lime, honey and blackcurrant) because it is fruity, sweet and light. Perfect for a hot summer day. Of course, there are stronger options if that's what you like.

What is great about the evening menu is that the portions are small, so you can order a bunch of stuff and not feel bad about it!

I tried the lamb kefta and a salad. The kefta comes with a great tahini sauce and pickled eggplant, I think, and it balances well with the salad, which is very light and fresh. Perfection!

I still had room left after the meal so I ordered dessert. It was really hot outside, that day, so I picked out what seemed to be the most refreshing, the Vacherin. It's a perfect meringue sandwich with a strawberry sorbet in the middle. It was just awesome and an excellent way to end a meal and a rough day. 

Le Elsdale is the perfect little nook outside of home to just relax, meet friends or work. The food is delicious, the ambiance is friendly and the decor is so pretty! I'll try to enjoy it as much as possible now because it won't be long before more people find out about and I'll end up having to wait for a table to clear! If that happens, it's well deserved. That place is great.

Le Mousso: a special restaurant for special occasions

This restaurant is exceptional. I save it for very special occasions only because eating there is a whole and unique experience!

Le Mousso opened about 3 years ago and is the product of chef Antonin Mousseau-Rivard's vision. He comes from a very artistic family (his father is singer Michel Rivard, a legend in Quebec, and his grand father, Jean-Paul Mousseau, is a great artist famed for his groundbreaking artworks in many of Montreal's subway stations, airport and skyscrapers) and that truly transpires in his culinary creations. 

The restaurant serves a fixed 14-course tasting menu consisting in a series of bites-size gustatory masterpieces. This is great because there is no fuss over what to order or whether we ordered the right thing. We'll simply try everything! The menu does change seasonally but it usually starts with my absolute favorite, cotton candy foie gras! Don't worry about people staring at you and just put the whole thing in your mouth. It is so amazing that I just want to order a whole bouquet of that thing! I just need to work up the nerve to ask for it...

I've been there a couple of times, already, usually for a birthday, and it never disappoints and it never, ever, fails to impress!

Le Mousso

1023 Ontario St E, Montreal, QC H2L 1P8

(438) 384-7410

I must apologize in advance for the poor quality of my pictures. The lighting in the restaurant was a bit dim and my camera does not react very well in a low light environment. 

The restaurant is on the pricey side but it is really worth it. You pay for the experience and the uniqueness of the food that is served. Each serving is original and made with the best possible ingredients. You can be certain that you will not find these meals anywhere else!

I am not particularly a wine person, so I cannot comment on their wine selection. I am, on the other hand, a big cocktail fan. Though pretty small, their cocktail menu offers a satisfying choice of drinks that too, are pretty original and unique! I chose my drinks at random and they were amazing! A bit on the strong side, but pretty great! If you do like wine, the restaurant offers a dish/wine pairing option.

The service is impeccable: always present but not overwhelming, extremely polite and welcoming. Nothing negative to say about it.

You would think that 14 bites-size dishes will leave you wanting more at the end but you are quite wrong. By the 10th course, we were pretty full already but we knew that dessert was coming up! There is usually 2 or 3 desserts, each as heavenly as the next. And if 14 dishes wasn't enough, we got a delightful send off with homemade mushroom and caramel taffy. Perfection from beginning to end!

If you are looking for something different, innovative and delicious, definitely give Le Mousso a try!

Chez Tousignant: The best burgers in town

Making a good burger is not as easy as it appears. I have eaten my fair share of burgers and very few turned out to be as satisfying as they should be. Sometimes the buns are too thick and you can't taste the meat enough, sometimes they are too thin and everything falls apart in your hands. The meat can be too dry, too oily, too salty or not salty enough, too onion-y, too thick, too thin, overcooked or undercooked. And finally, the condiments. Too many and you can't taste anything anymore, not enough and you just taste the meat. 

I had been to a lot of ok burger places and a few good ones in my home town, Montreal, but I was yet to find a great burger joint. I was starting to despair and wonder is there was such a thing in Montreal. And then, Chez Tousignant opened in my neighborhood. 

Chez Tousignant

6956, Drolet, Montréal (QC) H2S 2T3

cheztousignant.com

In 2015, Stefano Faita, Michele Forgione and Yann Turcotte opened their third restaurant in Little Italy, Chez Tousignant, a 1950s type of diner. The number of places is limited and the place is always full, but it is worth the wait. Everything they serve, they make it themselves: the bread, the patties, the sausages, the fries, the custard, everything! 

The first item I ordered was the cheeseburger with bacon and I am salivating just writing about it. The patty, not too thick, is seasoned and cooked to perfection. The bacon, crispy. The tomato, salad and pickles are fresh. The sauce is to die for. And the whole thing is held together by the most perfect and buttery buns that never lose their integrity. Chez Tousignant's burgers are by far the best ones I have eaten, ever!

But Chez Tousignant's menu is not limited to just burgers. The restaurant is also renowned for serving the best hot-dogs, the best fries, the best poutine and the best corn dogs in town. I haven't tasted their poutine yet but I can testify that the hotdogs, fries and corn dogs are-out-of-this-world good. The hot dogs have this amazing crunch at every bite and the bun is perfectly toasted. Pair them with the golden fries and you're in heaven!

The restaurant also makes its own frozen custard and milkshakes. The frozen custard is not always available on the menu and I haven't had the chance to taste the milkshake yet but I heard that they too are, unsurprisingly, among the best in town.

It did not take long for Chez Tousignant to become a staple for our date nights! Their food is consistently amazing and my goal really is to taste everything on their menu!

If ever in Little Italy, Montreal, check it out!
