The Big Chill is an old-fashioned retro ice cream parlour with colourful design, checkered floors, and marble counters. We have been operating for over a decade and are the ideal venue for birthday parties and corporate events. We are also known for hosting occasional concerts when the patio is open. With over 30 flavours of ice cream to choose from, and over 20 fixins, there are hundreds of possible creations. Our staff is always pleased to make recommendations, but we also encourage you to experiment with different possibilities to find the mix that is right for you.more...See more text
Located on the corner of Manning and College, The Big Chill isn’t hard to find, mainly due to the giant neon sign brandishing its name. The décor pays homage to the good old days when there was a malt shop on every corner. The retro ice cream shop serves all the classics, from cones to sundaes to Belgian waffles!
The Little Dog is the little sister to the ice cream shop nearby, The Big Chill, and their specialty is something called the steamie. If you’ve never heard of a steamie, don’t worry, you’re not alone; you probably just never spent any time in Montreal, where these hot dogs originated. Small, inexpensive and steamed (thus the name) these dogs pack big flavour for less.
