The good weather is starting to arrive, and there are some things that our bodies ask for as soon as we notice that the temperature rises the slightest bit; cold beer and a good ice cream.

If you are lucky enough to visit Budapest at the end of winter, you will see that all the ice cream parlours are already open and full of new creations and flavours. If, on the other hand, you visit in autumn or winter, some ice cream parlours may be closed, but not all of them.

But we are not going to talk about good ice cream parlours, no, we bring you a complete list of the best ice cream parlours in Budapest, renowned for making their ice creams in an artisanal way with first class ingredients. A real ice cream luxury.

Best Artisan Ice Cream in Budapest

Gelateria Vittorio

Visegrádi u. 6

We start our list very strongly, with an ice-cream parlour that everyone who visits it falls in love with. An unmistakable sign of its quality is to find both tourists and locals in the queue while you wait.

Everything about this ice cream parlour is spectacular. Its location, for example, is very close to the Margaret Bridge and therefore Margaret Island. Whichever route you take to discover Budapest, you will come across this ice cream parlour, and it will be one of the best things that ever happened to you.

It is considered one of the best ice cream parlours in the country. As you read it, in the country. Add its rich flavour, excellent location, fantastic service from the staff and a more than reasonable price, and you get a place you’re sure to return to.

Gelarto Rosa

Hercegprímás u. 9

We continue talking about quality ice cream parlours located in iconic places in Budapest. This time, you only need to take a 15-minute walk from Gelateria Vittorio, or Margaret Bridge, to St. Stephen’s Basilica.

The popular Gelarto Rosa ice cream parlour is one of the best known in Budapest, both for its central location and the quality of its ice cream. But what has made it stand out from the rest since the first day of its opening has been the way it serves its ice cream.

Presentation is key at Gelarto Rosa where they deliver ice creams in the shape of roses. They are beautiful, and the effort in this original presentation does not detract one iota from the quality of the flavour. Definitely another place you must visit and you’ll leave wanting to come back.

Kő fagyi? a Bartókon

Bartók Béla út 35

It is time to change sides of the Danube and walk to the Buda side. We walk under the Citadella, where the Statue of Liberty is located. We take a short walk to one of the best ice-cream parlours in Budapest.

You may not see any of the city’s great central monuments around you, but it turns out that wherever you go, this is one of the must-stops for all lovers of good ice cream.

The Kő fagyi? a Bartókon ice cream parlour is cosy and homely, and as soon as you try its ice cream you will discover why it is so successful. The taste of their ice cream is rich, intense and you can appreciate the quality of the products they make it with. All fresh, all handmade.

In addition to the most popular flavours, they are known for creating exciting flavours and new creations, such as their famous wine ice cream. Add to this the friendly staff and who could say no to a trip to Buda?

Gelateria Pomo D’oro

Arany János u. 12

We retrace our steps back to the centre of Budapest. A few steps away from Liberty Square, Szabadság tér, we find a well-known ice-cream parlour that has managed to make its way among the most popular names.

There are several factors that have made Gelateria Pomo D’oro a perfect resting place for visitors to the Hungarian capital. First, its location. If it is centrally located, it is the perfect place to recharge your batteries in the middle of a tour of Budapest.

But not only that, we are talking about an ice cream parlour with a wide variety of ice creams, with a fantastic taste thanks to its good workmanship. Its popularity is no coincidence.

Dolce Fantasia Gelateria Italiana

Szondi u. 82

We finish our fantastic route in one of the most beautiful areas of Budapest, the northern part of the city centre, with monuments like the Vajdahunyad Castle or places like the Széchenyi baths just a stone’s throw away.

Just steps away from Heroes’ Square and Andrássy Avenue, Dolce Fantasia Gelateria Italiana brings you the best of Italian artisan gelato. Top quality fresh ingredients and traditional, handmade production.

Whichever flavour you choose, it’s sure to be a hit. In addition, they have a first class coffee and a friendly and friendly service.
