LE PALAIS DES GLACES

Even if the desire to succumb to the temptation while surveying the cobbled streets of Annecy is great, all the homemade ice-creams are not worth. It is necessary to be Smart to find the authentic homemade ice-creams, those which are fully made on the spot (and which are not vulgar assemblies...) by a true artisan ice-cream maker. In his Palais des Glaces, which has been opened for 3 years now, Jean-Michel le Pessot has perpetuated a long tradition, that of homemade ice-creams in Italian way. A gourmet tradition learned from a maestro from a gelato maestro, Roberto Tograno, and homemade recipes refined for hours in the laboratory to reach excellence. The result is breathtaking: Le Palais des Glaces simply proposes the best ice-creams of Annecy and all the region! Perfect balances between high quality ingredients for new creations, rich and soft ice-creams, flavors sublimes. Jean-Michel will tell you: "To make good ice-creams, you need quality ingredients" (and Smart to add that you also need time and talent), such as this milk coming from the Epagny farmhouse, pistachios form Sicily, the famous Varlhona chocolate, but also fresh seasonal fruits. Ice creams prepared daily, with classical and original flavors, sorbets with exotic fruits, fruity ice-creams with rose or poppy, honey or lavender (where you learn that the ice-cream with lavender is very white and that a lavender color indicates the addition of industrial flavours)... Note for all gourmands in search of freshness and the best ice-creams of the city: a visit to Palais des Glaces is to understand that ice-cream can become a gastronomic art, it is to take a lesson of flavours with one of our best artisans.
