Top 13 Ice cream and Gelatos in #MyDubai

June 11, 2017

In sadness, in frustration, in anger, in happiness, in joy, in celebration, in doubt… have Gelato! 🍦🤤


First things first – there is a difference between a gelato and ice cream. Let’s get dem basics right first?

TL;DR: I like Gelato’s far more cuz they’re far superior in creaminess and the texture is absolutely beautiful (i.e. a party in my mouth).

NOTE: The below is not in ranking order. The cost may slightly differ based on season & taxes. For exact location, please check on Zomato. During this Quarantine, most even deliver! So don’t forget to support their businesses xx 

1. Dri Dri Gelato [AED19]

Favorite Flavor – Biscoff, Vanilla and Pistachio Gelato

9. Scoopi Cafe Nitrogen Icecream [AED20]

Favorite Flavor – Red Velvet, Madagascar Vanilla and Rose

View this post on Instagram

Now watch me drip, now watch me nay-nay 🤣🤤 Not a big fan of ice creams generally, but @scoopicafe converted me! The texture of their #icecream is so different and quite similar to that of a #cheesecake 🍦🍰 The charcoal ice cream with edible gold #shimmers [AED 99] was #amazing! It's made of lemon + #blueberry, and absolutely delicious. Can't believe i actually ate #gold, the #southindian in me is screaming 🤣 But my #fav hands down was the #redvelvet [AED 45]. They nailed it! If you like red velvet cheesecake, you will #LOVE THIS! Also honourable mention to their #panipuri [AED 27], I actually preferred this to the original! 😜 #scoopi 13 #best icecream spots in #Mydubai acc to me: https://naomidsouza.com/icecreams-in-dubai/

A post shared by Naomi D'Souza (@naomi_dsouza) on May 2, 2018 at 1:50am PDT

10. Quattro Icecream [AED47]

Favorite Flavor – Guacamole Icecream (called Taquitos)

PS: This is a restaurant, not an ice-cream shop, so this is more of a dish.

View this post on Instagram

Can you believe these are #Taquitos? 😂 The guacamole is #icecream, the #salsa is within the cone and the veggies are in the glass 😳🍦 I found it very hard to believe that I'm actually eating guacamole icecream, it tasted so good! ❤️ A #MolecularGastronomy restaurant for #Mexican food (a first in #MyDubai) is coming your way on December 10 2016 @quattrodubai 🤗

11. Amorino Gelato [AED19]

Favorite Flavor – Pistachio and Vanilla

Pistachio lovers! Rejoice because it's #NationalPistachioDay and there is no better way to celebrate it than with a mouthwatering gelato rose! #TasteAmorino

I promise you, after trying these icecreams/gelatos, having it from a mass-produced brand may just not be the same. Most of the above are home-made regularly. Quick tip: If you go to a restaurant (mostly a fancy one), ask them if they make their ice cream in-house, if yes, it’ll be brilliant! If not, it will most likely be icy or you’ll taste/feel some crunchy icicles in your mouth, between your teeth.

Do you have a favorite icecream in Dubai we may have missed out? Let us know!
