Le Flocon Beirut

Artisan Glacier

"Their sorbets are true to taste and not artificial at all. They also serve different kinds of pastries and cakes and have ice cream gallons to take home."

I have a list of favorite ice cream stores in Lebanon, and Le Flocon has recently made it onto that list. I've been meaning to visit this ice cream store for quite some time after seeing it flourish on Instagram, and ironically have only managed to do so on a rainy day - after that, I went a few more times.

The display of ice cream they have is endless, with sorbet flavors, flavors infused with alcohol, and creamy flavors. Their sorbets are true to taste and not artificial. They also serve different kinds of pastries and cakes and have ice cream gallons to take home.

Located on a main street in Ashrafieh, Le Flocon might look like the kind of place that the Queen might buy her tarte au fraise from, but it's actually a definite must-add to your list. If you're planning on spending a day in Ashrafieh, make sure you check out the Cantina Sociale article and visit it for some coffee or bites, and end it with ice cream at Le Flocon!

Their specialty dessert, Persian love cake, is a concoction of cardamon, pistachio, and zest of lemon. It tasted as delicious as it looked.

Make sure to try the beetroot carpaccio and the tomato bruschetta as snacks. Their signature cocktails are delicious and I also fancy their minted lemonade.

Emotions

Emotions – Pâtisserie & Artisan Glacier

My favorite treat at Emotions is the "chausson au citron" - lemon turnover, which tastes simply yummylicious: not too lemony or sour, not too sweet, not too small.
