A legendary institution in Montréal, Le Bilboquet whips up highly addictive homemade ice cream and refreshing sorbets. On warm summer nights (and even on chilly evenings), long lines snake out the door. Although there’s no seating inside, there are a couple of sidewalk tables, and some lovely little parks nearby.
