Store: Looks a bit like a very small disco club from the 70′s. Purple walls, glitter balls and loud music. Squashed between Gaucho (who they are owned by) and Veeraswamy. A few dark booths inside and a few table outside for people watching.
On offer: Ice cream, sorbet, some Argentinian cakes and pastries, milkshakes and excellent coffee.
What I had: A scoop of Dulce de leche and a scoop of their ‘Flavour of the day’ : Zabayon. Dulce de leche was delicious – rich and almost chewy in texture. Zabayon was and egg and brandy flavoured ice cream – sounds horrible I know but suprisingly delicious too. Reminded me a little of tiramisu without the savoiardi.
Verdict: A little taste of the famous Buenos Aires heladerias. Dulce de leche ice cream and Malbec and berry sorbet are their signatures. They are open until 11pm every night except Friday and Saturday nights when they stay open until 2am. Could be an interesting alternative to the kebab shop for hungry clubbers and drinkers in the area.
