The best ice cream shops Budapest

One might be suspicious of the place, which seems to be geared towards tourists, but these ice creams are truly delectable, artisanal and designer! The tradition is to ask for a cone, fill it with successive layers of ice cream of different flavors and colors, so that the whole thing forms a rose as pretty as appetizing. Also ice cream cups and coffee in winter. Among other original flavors - basil-lemon, white chocolate with lavender, and pumpkin - there are also vegan and sugar-free ice creams.

An artisanal ice cream parlour operating as a franchise, with about ten establishments in the city (including an ice cream parlour in the very pleasant district of Újlipótváros, Hollán Ernő utca 4, or one next to the central market, Vámház krt. 6). Dozens of original flavours - in sorbets as well as ice cream - often combining lavender(levendula) with other components, such as lemon, without any additives or colouring. A delight, especially the Sicilian pistachio or the salted butter caramel.

A young team of talented Magyar ice cream makers has invaded the city with their vegan ice creams, and all the better for it! They can be found in addition to this address in Pozsonyi út 5, Lövőház utca 24 and Lake Balaton. Artisanal ice cream sticks 100% natural, gluten-free, lactose-free, animal product-free, high in color, which will blow your mind and your taste buds. Among the most original flavors, we award the prize to the avocado, with tarragon and lime, or to the raspberry-litchi-pink flavor. Establishments closed between November and April.

A small Italian ice cream shop with authentic flavors, prepared on site. Excellent strawberry sorbet, pistachio ice cream, or other seasonal creations such as plum married with cinnamon. You can choose between ice cream in a cone or in a jar. Smiling welcome, impeccable service. A good address to taste an ice cream if you are in the area during your visit to Budapest. Some people have even qualified the shop as the best in Budapest a few years ago, it might be worth the trip..

Gianni, the Italian owner of several Italian restaurants in town (Trattoria Pomo d'Oro, DOC vino bar and more) and star of the Hungarian food scene has struck again! This time, it's with ice cream from April to the end of October and exquisite pastries, served right next to the Danube, in a quiet little street with a terrace. You will love the pear-gorgonzola, the coffee ice cream or the salted butter caramel. You can also sip coffee, granita or fresh fruit juice (pineapple, beet, carrot, strawberry...).

An ice cream shop now famous in Budapest, which has spread its artisanal ice cream shops all over the city center (Károly, Kiss János, Pozsonyi...). The flavors are original (caramel-figue; lemon-lavender...) and the decoration is to crunch. The ice creams are home-made, made on the spot, without additives, are never so cold that they instantly chill you and, cherry on the cake, dogs are welcome. A stopover to plan on hot summer days, and even the rest of the year!
