The Best Vegan Ice Cream in Montreal

When the warm weather arrives, nothing is more satisfying than a good ice cream! Since there is a wide range of ice cream on offer, we have compiled a list of the best ice cream shops in Montreal to help you find your way around. However, despite the very good addresses on this list, not everyone will find what they are looking for. For example, people with dietary restrictions (lactose intolerance) or who have adopted a vegan diet sometimes have difficulty finding offers adapted to their needs. And since we like it when everyone is happy, we decided to do some research to find out which addresses offer the best vegan ice cream in the city.

With the growing popularity of veganism and the creativity of ice cream makers, it is becoming more and more common to find vegan ice cream in Montreal creameries. Whether you are vegan or not, the quality of the products offered is always growing and is enough to confuse the most fastidious ice cream lovers. With many inventive flavours available and a texture that is impossible to distinguish from “real” ice cream, the vegan ice cream offerings in Montreal are top-notch!

Some foodies are reluctant to try vegan recipes because it’s simply not in their habits. And when it comes to food, it’s sometimes hard to break habits. However, vegan cooks take pleasure in creating recipes in such a way that you don’t even notice that it’s vegan. In fact, many restaurants now offer several vegan dishes. Check out our list of the best vegan restaurants in Montreal to try some of them!

Let’s get back to our favourite summer dessert. Here are our suggestions of where to find the best vegan ice cream in Montreal.
