About Ripples
Ripples is an ice cream parlour on Saint-Laurent Boulevard that dates back to 1984. It offers about 30 flavours, and it is famous for its 6X chocolate, a very rich, very chocolatey favourite.
It suits summer evenings in the Plateau, a sweet stop after dinner or a treat with kids after a walk on the Main. Lines can form on hot nights, so a weekday visit may be calmer. If you love chocolate, the 6X is the one to try first. It has been part of the neighbourhood's summer routine for four decades.
