Virevent may be low-key, but it’s earned its place as a neighbourhood fixture on Promenade Fleury. For nearly a decade, this family-run creamery in Ahuntsic has been quietly serving some of the city’s most lovingly made frozen treats, without the hype or gimmicks. Everything here is crafted in-house using natural ingredients, from silky soft serve to inventive hard ice cream and sorbet flavours—think pistachio that actually tastes like pistachio, mango with real fruit bite, or lime-basil that resets your whole palate. The vibe is as friendly as the staff behind the counter, and there’s a clear sense that regulars are part of the family. Whether you’re dipping into a dark chocolate–coated cone or chasing new flavour pairings like Vietnamese coffee and mango, Virevent hits that sweet spot between craft and comfort. It’s a local gem that never tries too hard, and never needs to.
