French Ice Cream at La Glace

A pastel Parisian parlour making obscenely rich creme-anglaise ice cream, where sharing a jar counts as a whole date.

More info

The date

La Glace gives ice cream the full French treatment, built on a proper creme anglaise base that turns scandalously rich in a soft-lit, pastel Parisian room. Flavours rotate on a whim, from brown butter pecan pie to coconut pandan, and staff walk you through tasters on little metal spoons like a wine flight. Share a beautifully packaged jar and call it a whole date.

How to do it

Duck into La Glace and let the staff walk you both through a few tasters on the little metal spoons before you commit, because the flavours rotate and half the fun is the sampling. Split a jar or a couple of scoops, claim one of the small marble tables under the pastel lighting, and let the sheer richness of the creme-anglaise base slow you down. Budget about forty five minutes, and take a second jar home if you want the date to keep going tomorrow.
