Pick 1 – Bonomeria – Gelateria Artigianale
This Italian ice cream parlour in Belair is a top pick at CSL; the gelato here is divine. Besides the wide variety of flavours, you can find various ice cream treats to take home (we often take these treats to parties and they’re a big hit). If you decide to replace a meal with ice cream one day, we suggest the gelato stuffed brioche. If you have kids, another plus is the strikingly close distance to the fabulous Castle Parc.
Good for: making you think you’ve briefly landed in Italy.
Where: 4 Rue Wurth-Paquet, Belair (map)
Opening hours: Monday-Sunday 12pm to 8pm

Pick 2 – Mammamia
You’ll find Mammamia in the Opkorn mall in Differdange. We happened upon this place after doing a bit of shopping at Auchan and were highly impressed. The staff was so friendly and the ice cream was out of this world. If you’re in the area, we definitely suggest giving this place a try!
Good for: a pre- or post-shopping treat!

SmooJo markets itself as a smoothie and juice bar, so you can indulge without the guilt! If you haven’t already discovered SmooJo, the healthy(ish) alternative to ice cream, then make this one your next stop and indulge in some delicious frozen yoghurt in a wide and interesting variety of flavours. In fact, SmooJo is so popular they have a second location (in Esch).

Oh Oberweis! How we love you. So classy, so delicious, so Luxembourgish. As with their coffees, pastries and cakes, their ice cream does not disappoint. Whilst there are 5 Oberweis cafes around Luxembourg selling ice cream (Cloche d’Or, Lux Ville, City Concorde, Kirchberg and Gare), we suggest you treat yourself and head for their beautiful flagship cafe in the city centre.
