Wild Willy’s has been holding it down in Pointe-Claire Village for years, serving up big scoops and even bigger personality. This West Island favourite is known for its no-shortcuts approach: over 40 rotating flavours of hard ice cream made in-house, plus soft serve, slushies, frozen yogurt blended with fresh fruit, and something called a Ziggamazoo—half soft, half hard, all indulgence. Whether you’re after dairy-free, vegan, or gluten-free options, they’ve got you covered, with even iced tofu on offer. The vibe is pure summer: casual, friendly, dog-welcoming, and often swarming with locals post-lake or post-dinner. And with a new Valois Village location on the way, they’re doubling down on the homemade model without losing what makes the original special. They also run an ice cream truck for parties and custom-make cakes if cones just won’t cut it. If you’re in the West Island and craving something cold, this place is practically tradition.
