Leaning A Mirror On A Mantle

sheep that's it, I found ice tea in London

I shot a little, scrutinized, height, consulted a few sources, benchmarked and made a good check store ... and then that's it, I found the top glacier London.

The heat might be much better here than in Paris - just as people from elsewhere (but that's another story), a good scoop of ice, it can not refuse.

But on ice, there are requirements: dense but not quite smooth for some (" you see, as with small son in, I do not know if it's clear?" she said) , very airy for others, good for wafer cone or a small pot generous, depending.

were references, too: pistachio Pozetto, sherbet cocoa Berthillon, new gourmet Mary, almond granita Grom, flowers Alberto ...

short, there was the challenge in the air, and Miss Sardine gave me even more desire to meet it.

Here come THE glacier London, I named: Gelupo


Open a few weeks ago at Piccadilly Gelupo is held by the owners of Bocca di Lupo Italian restaurant with very engaging tunes, just opposite.

then CSFs (critical success factors) ?

- in the small shop tiled in white and blue, with pink cheeks servers - friendly and helpful as they did here, offer a taste of what you want before making your choice: good point.
- the cups start at £ 2 for the mini up to 6 pounds for addicts
- the turbine visible behind the counter is an old school technology, which cools gently, stirring, without really abound, for an ultra smooth
- there are also granites in the Italian
yummy - you can choose a fresh fruit to be cut on the ice at the last moment
- you can sit quietly to avoid the unfortunate casting of beautiful new t-shirt design monochrome White Whiteman

But most importantly, the flavors! classics of course, but also not fancy gadget: ice rice, rum and chocolate macaroons Coffee, Coffee-honey ricotta sorbet lawyer or fennel honey-pine nut, almond granita with white or grilled fishing white wine and vanilla ...

For me it was chocolate sorbet and ice coffee and honey ricotta ; love for fabulous lawyer honey sorbet and sherbet espresso.

Verdict: killing. The chocolate sorbet rivals meet the most intractable, lubricity is everywhere, the temperature is perfect, the taste explodes. A bit less convinced by the taste of the lawyer, although the whole is both fresh and rich. Also tasted the ice with rice, very nice with whole grains of rice crispy who joyfully.

I still have few places to investigate acquired by conscience, but I think it continue a good time to give me the desire to win the crowd insane Picadilly.


Before you get there, take a look at the flavors of the day on the site, it helps to have a short list before the final decision.

Gelupo - 7 Archer Street, W1D 7AU, Piccadilly Circus
