Artisanal ice cream & cookies with unique seasonal flavors
"For a city that spends a good chunk of the year in deep freeze, Montreal has a pretty formidable ice cream scene, with Dalla Rose leading the pack. The spot has a flair for whipping up ingenious flavor combinations with local ingredients. Think chanterelle mushroom and brown butter with cocoa nibs; ricotta, Ontario peaches, nuts, and maple syrup; or vanilla and Quebec cantaloupe twist. Dalla Rose was founded by two alums from Italian favorite Nora Gray, Michael Dalla Libera and Nick Rosati, whose names blend into the shop’s portmanteau. Whatever they’re scooping is absolutely worth queueing for." - Valerie Silva
"From Michael Dalla Libera and Nick Rosati, Dalla Rosa is an ice cream shop devoted to using local, seasonal ingredients whenever possible. Flavours range from classic (strawberry, chocolate) to less traditional (sesame, sunflower seeds), coupled with the option of sandwiching scoops between homemade cookies. Come winter, they’ve been known to sling a great bowl of vegan ramen, when its space transforms into Ramen9000." - Eater Staff
"This Saint-Henri hotspot, from a duo who met working at hit Italian restaurant Nora Gray, is one of the brightest lights on the Montreal ice cream scene. They have a knack for developing new flavours, working with local ingredients, and regularly switching up the menu. Expect everything from peanut butter and jelly to apple crumble. Pint delivery is available across the island." - Valerie Silva
"For the winter, Saint‑Henri’s artisanal ice cream parlour Dalla Rose has been converted into a ramen shop called Ramen 9000, serving hot bowls Thursday to Saturday and offering a $40 make‑your‑own ramen kit for two (noodles, miso broth, nori sheets, kimchi, bean sprouts, wood ear mushrooms and a choice of protein: marinated egg or tofu) for online pickup." - Valerie Silva
"At Dalla Rose in St. Henri, co-owner Nick Rosati regrets the cremerie’s brief use of delivery apps, saying the biggest negative was the hit to customer experience—app problems reflected poorly on the shop and couldn’t be fixed the way they can with in-house deliveries; their usual winter ramen has been paused, though they note their frozen product is easier to manage than à la minute orders." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
