Artisan ice cream parlours Bonomaria – rue Wurth-Paquet

Hooray, at last it is ice cream season! If you fancy an artisan scoop, you can try these ice cream parlours that use local and organic ingredients, and secret recipes from the gelateria vaults of Venice, Bologna and Florence.

Bargello – Place de Paris

People walk out of their way for this Florentine family-made ice cream. Whilst melon is one of their popular flavours, all the sorbets are gluten-free and vegan, and you can try something different such as kiwi with mint. Vegans can also tuck into almond and peanut butter flavours. For something luxuriant, try the ricotta and dark chocolate sorbet or lavender and blueberry cheesecake. If you insist on counting calories, then they have frozen yoghurt too.

NICE – avenue du X Septembre

Four Luxembourg friends with a passion for ice cream opened this modern-design ice cream parlour near Merl Park. They use natural fresh ingredients and have a daily vegan flavour on offer. Try peach and lavender, or grapefruit with rosemary, vegan-friendly and lactose-free sorbets. The ice cream cakes and tarts combine flavours and you can wash it all down with some freshly roasted coffee.

Also near Merl park this ice cream parlour doesn't use artificial sweetener. You can try their ice cream cakes or filled chocolates, or stick to a scoop of vegan hazelnut, mango, aperol spritz, and lemon basil. Locally produced milk, seasonal fruit and Belgian chocolate are amongst the ingredients. You will also find them in Bertrange.

Amorino – Cloche d’Or shopping centre

The perfect respite from some retail therapy, beautifully scooped into rose petals sprouting from your cone. Try tiramisu, salted caramel, passion fruit or lime and basil. No artificial colours or flavours, and plenty of choice for vegans or those who prefer gluten-free.
