You Can Now Get Colombian-Style Mango Desserts In Montreal

During a heat-wave, Montrealers tend to seek the refuge of air conditioning and cold treats. As you know, we're in for a huge heat-wave this week and you'll need to find a place you can retreat to if it gets too hot!

If it's air conditioning and treats you're looking for, you ought to head to Plaza Alexis-Nihon on Atwater and find the Oui Mango stand, because Eater Montreal has tipped us off to what is sure to be one of Montreal's new fave summer treats.

Oui Mango is a brand-new dessert stand in the sprawling downtown mall that serves Colombian-inspired mango cups. If you've been to Latin America, you're already familiar with this insanely delicious street food. No flights required to try this treat anymore! 

In Colombia, this delicious dessert is called mango biche and is enjoyed by everyone in street-side fruit stands and carts all over the country. Oui Mango finally brings that tradition to Montreal! 

Whether you like your mango sweet or spicy, Oui Mango has a range of customizable ingredients for you to enjoy. Traditionally, mango biche is eaten with salt and lime but sometimes, you can find things like Tajin seasoning, honey, and even condensed milk. 

At Oui Mango in Plaza Alexis-Nihon, you'll find all these ingredients and more! You can order your mangoes spiralled or cubed depending on your taste. They even have maple syrup to top your mango with!

Oui Mango also serves Colombia-style fruit juices like passionfruit and you can even get a pineapple biche if you're not down for mangoes! The sky's the limit at Oui Mango!
