For nearly a decade, Quai des Glaces has been serving house-made ice creams along the Lachine Canal, first under founders Mario and Sophie, now with Martin and Pascale at the helm. The ownership may have changed, but the small-batch approach hasn’t. This family-run creamery makes everything in-house—from oat- and almond-based vegan scoops to rich gelatos, fruit-packed sorbets, and velvety soft serve with a library of Belgian chocolate dips. You’ll also find a rotating lineup of sundaes layered with pastries like homemade brownies or seasonal cakes. The weekly fruit-forward vegan soft serve draws a loyal following, especially when paired with their classic vanilla twist. Whether you’re stopping in post-bike ride or just here for a sugar fix, the focus is clearly on quality. Every scoop is built on a short supply chain and a long-standing neighbourhood connection—one that’s kept this spot a west-end favourite for ten summers and counting.
