Just steps from the Saint-Roch church, in one of the liveliest parts of Montpellier's historic city center, La Banquise is a real favorite. All the ice creams and sorbets are made on-site in their own laboratory, following traditional Italian methods, with no preservatives or coloring. This hands-on craft lets the team create original, authentic flavors and refresh their selection regularly with the seasons and new inspirations.
The flavor board is impressive, ranging from classics like vanilla, chocolate, pistachio, hazelnut, and coffee to fruity sorbets such as lemon, strawberry, mango-peach, raspberry, passion fruit, kiwi, and litchi. The most adventurous flavors are well worth a try — think basil, lavender, rose, ginger, orange blossom, apricot-rosemary, lemon-thyme, matcha green tea, or grilled sesame. With new creations appearing often, there's always something new to discover, so be ready to wait a little for your treat — it's that popular!
