VERO

Glacier

Vero simply means "true" in Italian. This is a real Italian ice-cream parlour, trained in Bologna, which offers excellent home-made sorbets with original and surprising flavours. The lavender and lemon perfumes have the good idea to evoke the scents of the Drôme Provençale and southern Italy, so dear to so many Seyssinians. Well, if you're really hungry, the Vero also offers savoury snacks (including of course pizzas) and a good coffee. All the ice creams and dishes in general are made in the spirit of quality cuisine.

BACIO DI LATTE

Glacier
4/5
1 review

This is probably due to the undeniable transalpine influence on Sampa, but the city has a large number of excellent ice cream parlours. The Bacio di Latte does justice to ice cream in all its forms. The shop also offers a few desserts and is always busy. The ice creams are creamy and made with fresh milk, selected ingredients and no preservatives. The fruits are local and vary according to the season, the hazelnuts, chocolate and pistachios come from Europe and the sugar is organic. Let yourself be tempted...

GLACIER LAPORTE

Glacier
5/5
2 reviews

Georges Laporte moved to Bahia from Normandy in 2002. Since then, he has adapted his family know-how, brought back from France, to create ice creams with local flavors in harmony with the seasons, all made with fresh fruit, without colorants or preservatives. The blends are as original as they are delicious: Pé de moleque (with peanuts), Cocana (coconut with cachaça), Martinica (orange and dark chocolate), Baianada (lime, rapadura and coconut) - a must-try! Try acerola or maracuja!

CONFEITARIA COLOMBO

Patisserie €€

Confeitaria Colombo, founded in 1894 by Portuguese immigrants, is one of the most beautiful pastry shops in Rio. The Belle Époque architecture evokes the Paris of the Roaring Twenties. The splendid Antwerp crystal mirrors add a subtle Art Deco touch. The Salão Superior dates back to 1922. The lunch and the buffet, served upstairs, are worth the trip. Excellent pastries, including Portuguese pasteis, can be tried at tea time on the first floor near the grand piano. Events are regularly organized (see the website).

CONFEITARIA COLOMBO COPA

Patisserie €€

The restaurant is located inside the enclosure of the military fort, after the impressive entrance. Annex of the sumptuous Confeitaria Colombo in the city center, it is a favorite address for the incredible view that the terrace offers on the whole Copacabana beach. Ideal for a lazy breakfast, in the shade of the trees and almost feet in the water. The menu, a little expensive maybe, offers a great choice of brunches, sandwiches, pancakes, cakes and pies... Everything is good, but the best is undoubtedly the panorama on the most beautiful bay of the world!

FABRICA DE CHOCOLATE ARTESANAL FINLANDÊS

Chocolate is the local speciality of Penedo, and this small house in the centre of the city invites you to discover how it is made, and of course to taste it, in bars, ice cream or hot chocolate.

SORVETE FINLANDÊS

Glacier €€

A famous ice cream shop in Brazil is called "Alaska"... just like in Montpellier. Here, it is Finland that inspired the name of this ice cream shop. To tell you the truth, we don't know if ice cream (from our dear cones... not from the big frozen lakes that cover a part of the country) is a Finnish speciality, but the ones that this house proposes are delicious. More than 30 different flavours and, above all, all sorts of sweets to decorate the ice cream (nuts, sesame, chocolate chips, etc.).

CHOCOLATES PATRONE

Chocolatier

It is said often enough, but Brazil is not limited to the production of cocoa pods. Brazilians are masters in the art of making this exquisite sweetness. Like Ouro Preto, Campos do Jordao or Gramado, Petropolis is one of the country's chocolate capitals. The chocolate factory "Patrones" is a local chocolate factory with anAmerican diner look that offers a complete range of temptations to buy on the spot! The whole thing is deliciously kitschy, with teddy bears sitting on the counter.

KURT

Patisserie €€

In some crafts, the art is passed down dynastically from father or mother to daughter or son. Kurt's grandchildren, who also run The Bakers, offer apricot cake, apfel strudel and a curious picada de abelha, a home-made chocolate cake. This patisserie has surely been offering the best desserts in the capital since 1942! The festival of millefeuilles is impressive, as are the macaroons and fruit tarts. The magazines Globo, Veja, or O Fluminense have not been mistaken in awarding it many prizes.

One of the shops can be found in many places in the southern zone. Of course, you will find the classic flavours of Italian ice-cream parlours, but the originality of Sorvete italia is to offer flavours that are all Brazilian: so the Cuscuz, Tapioca, Açaí or Milho verde flavours will surprise you... or not. To be tested on a hot afternoon after the beach!

CASA DE NOCA

Bread cakes chocolates ice cream

La Casa de Noca is both a shop and a pleasant café. You can find greedy and regional products: small cakes, typical biscuits, fruit jellies and many others. The decoration of the "café" part is very pleasant, with its wooden tables and its busy decoration, nicely kitsch. The "café da manha" is very pleasant. The buffet features cakes, pasteis de Belém, but also small savoury dishes, pizza, scrambled eggs. During the big crowds in the shop part, it is a pity that it is a bit too crowded.

Great good has come to her, she has brought a little extra refinement to an already respectable house. Isis prefers a more "saudavel" cuisine, with less sugar and fat. The "fondant au praliné", the dark cherry cream chocolate mousse (R$ 15 and 16), the salty (empadas) are to be discovered, for sure!

A CUBANA

Bread cakes chocolates ice cream

In Salvador, some ice cream parlors are very popular for cooling off in the hot Bahian summer. "A Cubana" is one of these "happy few". It is Salvador's oldest ice cream parlour, established in the 1930s, and has successfully survived the decades. A Cubana claims to be part of the Bahian heritage. This ice-cream brand offers many of its own flavours, including tapioca and caramel banana. Milkshakes are also available. Good pastries and salgados are available in all four stores.
