Terre Adélice - ice cream
Place de la Baleine, Vieux Lyon
In short, the best ice cream in Lyon! This popular artisanal glacier in Vieux Lyon opened its doors last summer and has slowly expanded into the square, having acquired additional space that now enables it to provide a very large terrace.
The ice creams and sorbets are made locally in the region with the greatest respect to nature and the environment, and of 100 flavours, 25% are organic, with a goal to add to their organic offering yearly. No artificial flavours or additives are used, cooking of the fruit is kept to a minimum in order to enhance its natural qualities and colours, and the products contain very little added sugar. All of the stabilizers are 100% natural, and only liquid milk, instead of the often-used powdered form, is incorporated. For the chocolate flavours, the high quality and tasty Valrhona is used. What does all this mean? Ice cream that is creamy and bursting with natural flavour. Additionally, some of the flavours are sold in take-home containers (all eco-friendly).
Finally – a word about the actual flavours. Quite simply amazing – but also unusual, if you dare to try something a bit different. Of course there are the usual fruit and chocolate suspects, but hidden amongst them, wild blackberries, mountain blueberries, redcurrants, white peaches or pears from the Ardèche; sake, beer, sauternes or even chartreuse; lavender, rose or jasmine; rosemary, thyme, mint, basil, ginger or green tea…
A full list can be seen here.
Wander the streets of Vieux Lyon with a cornet, or sample several parfums ‘sur place’; each scoop is individually served with a small morsel of fruit to enhance its flavour.
