Another holiday season has come and gone and now, we’re ready for summer! Okay, so we still have some time to go before we can enjoy drinking on the terraces until the wee hours of the morning and indulging in an abnormal amount of ice cream. In the meantime, you can swap the cones for glasses and enjoy some nice, heavenly-milkshakes! Montreal has no shortage of great joints that offer the most delectable milkshakes to satisfy all your dairy cravings. Milkshakes are the perfect stand-alone dessert or great companion to your favourite meals. It’s the perfect combination of sweet dairy goodness that just makes you feel so good! If someone doesn’t like milkshakes, get rid of them! You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life. So when you’re craving a good ol’ classic treat, look no further than these fabulous places!
Deville Diner Bar
If you live in Montreal and have not been to Deville Diner Bar, then there’s something wrong with you! With its great location downtown, Deville is a perfect pre-party pit stop. A modern twist on the 1960’s diner, you can get great drinks, delicious food, and out-of-this-world (boozy) milkshakes all under one roof. You’ll want to make a few trips here to try everything on their menu. Milkshakes can cost a pretty penny (between $9-$13), but well worth it and definitely not cheap on the alcohol! Deville‘s delicious creations include red velvet, toasted marshmallow, and banana split. Devilishly good!

M:brgr
Another great downtown institution, M:brgr is a perfect first stop for an endless night out in Montreal. After you indulge in one of their burgers, you’ll want to make room for their milkshakes. Go big or go home is definitely the case here: M:brgr milkshakes are huge! You can have their milkshakes spiked or not spiked (but what’s the fun in that!). They have traditional flavours like vanilla & chocolate as well as unique ones such as cotton candy and marshmallow. You can also have some tasty combinations such as strawberry/mango, vanilla/caramel & strawberry/banana. Prices range from $7.50-$13, and you have to order food with your shake. Can you really go to M:brgr without having one of their famous burgers?

Jukebox Burgers
Jukebox is the ultimate time warp! What better place to have a milkshake than at a place that looks like it came straight out of the movie Grease? With their red cushion seats and fun décor, one visit to Jukebox is not enough. Their burgers are amazing and of course, let’s not forget the ultimate finish: their milkshakes! They have flavours for the kids and the adults that are very reasonably priced (between $6.95 and $9.95). You’ll definitely want to share! It’ll be like that famous photo from Archie Comics where Archie, Betty, and Veronica are sharing a shake. Hopefully without the weird love triangle.

Beauty’s Luncheonette
Beauty’s Luncheonette is a Montreal icon that serves up some of the prettiest and tastiest milkshakes and smoothies around! Beauty’s is a small diner in Mile End that serves up some big flavours which include cookies & cream, blueberry, and apple pie to name a few. The milkshakes are quite substantial but you’ll still have room for one of Beauty’s sandwiches and/or omelettes. One of their most popular dishes is the smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel. Be prepared to wait in line, but it’ll definitely be worth it! A meal here is a beautiful thing indeed!
