There's nothing like an ice cream cone or a sundae on a hot summer day. But if you're going to indulge, you should do it properly by visiting one of Brisbane's premium ice cream parlours.
Freestyle Tout serves up ice cream and desserts that look so good you won't want to eat them (but you will). The second Tuesday of the month is Tango and Latin Dance night where, for $12.00, you'll receive a glass of wine and one hour dance lesson; or join the Freestyle Book Club and enjoy a two course meal, glass of wine and literary discussion for $30.00. Freestyle Tout can be found in West End (
220 Melbourne Street) and Fortitude Valley (
Emporium).
Although originally known as 'the shop that former Olympic pole vaulter and Gladiator Tatiana Grigorieva opened',
Caffe e Gelato Milany (
4/53 Racecourse Road, Hamilton) soon became popular in its own right. The cafe serves homemade gelato and sorbets in 32 different flavours. Try a traditional Banana Split or something more decadent, like the Black Forest Parfait.
Gelitissimo is a franchise that makes gelato fresh in store on a daily basis. They also offer chocolates, coffee and Italian biscotti. Visit the website to find a store near you.
