The must-visit: Padova

If you're looking for authentic Italian gelato flavors, head straight to Padova. Rémy, the ice cream maestro, has brought back all the know-how from Bologna. With no less than 24 flavors (including 2 daily specials), you'll be spoilt for choice! From refreshing melon to creamy stracciatella, not to mention pistachio imported directly from Italy, it promises to be a real treat! And when winter rolls around, don't miss out on their homemade pastries. With 17 years of experience, Padova has carved out a special place in the hearts (and stomachs) of the people of Montpellier.

The Italian Plus: Angelo Gelato Caffè 

Angelo Gelato Caffè is the go-to place for ice cream lovers in Montpellier! Seasonal fruit sorbets, Sicilian pistachios, and delightful vacherins… But what truly sets Angelo apart is their philosophy of "made with love". Here, there are no shady colorants: everything is prepared fresh in the morning using local ingredients. Just take a look at their delicious Mauguio Strawberries! And for those who think ice cream is only for summer: in winter, Angelo turns into the headquarters for waffle and crepe enthusiasts!

The Boldest: Delacrem 

Ladies and gentlemen, make way for Delacrem! A place that's wildly popular for a reason, as Anne-Laurence, the owner, has plenty of surprises up her sleeve! Trained by Massimo, a true Italian gelato maestro, our authentic Montpellier local decided to blend Italian expertise with local flavors. The result? Creations that will blow your mind: lemon-thyme, grapefruit-mint, or the mysterious gianduja...

The + diverse: La Banquise

Nestled just a stone's throw from the Saint-Roch church since 2016, Gabrielle, the captain of this icy ship, creates wonders that would make the greatest chefs green with envy. Trained in the Italian technique, she offers no less than 140 flavors throughout the seasons. And beware, we’re not talking about just any ice cream! Think you’ve tasted it all? Think again! Here, we dare to mix basil, chocolate-chili, and lavender. Everything is 100% natural with as little sugar as possible. And the fruits? Local, of course!
