Atelier (Ottawa) opens its meals with a “Creamsicle” that’s made from apricots and basil, then flash-frozen in an Anti-Griddle. Ah, when technology meets nostagia.

Rush (Calgary) nods to the trend with a pink grapefruit freezer pop. Who said fine dining and a brain freeze can’t mix?

RauDZ© Regional Table (Kelowna, B.C.) yes, it is the oddest name ever for a new restaurant – leaves a house-made watermelon and Pop Rocks lollipop with the cheque.   

La Salle à manger (Montreal) serves up a homemade ice cream sandwich, complete with wax-paper wrapper.
