Bilboquet

Frommer's Review

You can get a good croque-monsieur here, but the reasons to seek out this humble spot in Mile End's ritzy Outremont section are the splendid ice creams and sorbets. This artisan glacier makes its own sweet stuff, rich with caramel, nuts, fruit . . . whatever is fresh and available and strikes the chef's fancy. Flavors include maple taffy, passion fruit, chocolate-orange, and vanilla-raspberry. In warm weather, there's always a line. With just a few tables inside and benches outside, prepare to stroll with your cone. If you don't want to make the trek all the way north, you can also find Bilboquet ice cream at a push cart in the heart of Vieux-Port and downtown at the cheery Java U Café, 626 rue Sherbrooke.
