L'Igloo

Réunion


Generous scoops and about 30 flavours are the trademarks of this drool-inducing ice-cream parlour in the heart of St-Denis. Take your mind off the somewhat tacky white-and-blue Antarctica murals by trying the Banana Split, with its deep, rich flavour; chocoholics will opt for the 'Palette aux 6 Chocolats', with six different chocolate flavours. Snacks and light meals are available at lunchtime.
