Every time I go to Portugal, this ice cream shop is a must. It's become part of my routine because…read moreit just never disappoints. The ice cream is always so good especially with the waffle being h, but honestly, it's the whole experience that makes it special. The views are what really take it to another level. Sitting by the beach with the water right there, enjoying something sweet; It's just one of those moments that feels unreal. The scenery is so peaceful and beautiful, it makes you want to stay there forever. And on top of that, the prices are amazing. You get such high-quality ice cream without feeling like you're overspending, which makes it even better going back again and again. It's one of those places that just feels like a tradition now!! great ice cream, stunning views, and a vibe you can't get anywhere else.

Gelatomania in Nazaré, Portugal is decidedly geared towards tourists with its very anglicized name…read more No matter though, the gelato is excellent. We chose one called Pirata, meaning pirate, and is a cherry flavor. It is fruity delicious, creamy, and fresh. Service was average. I don't blame the guy though. The very distracted customers ahead of me were particularly yelling their orders just because English isn't their first language, either. Some customers are unintentionally rude. The store is sparkling clean and looks new. The cost was very good. I think it was €2.50 for a cone.

Amazing spot for coffee and ice cream. I stopped by twice in one day! That shows how much I loved…read moreit! First stop was for a cappuccino topped with cocoa powder which hit the spot. Second stop was for ice cream. They were so many unique flavors to pick from - it was so hard to decide. You can sample flavors but only after picking a size (cone or cup) and making a payment. The cup sizes include one less flavor so for example with a medium cup, you can select up to three flavors. With a medium cone, it is just two. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is incredibly patient as you sample and try the different flavors. They also speak English and will help translate and explain flavors. I ended up going with a medium cup with pistachio, fig and ricotta and golden milk (turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and black pepper - it's amazing!) They have both non-vegan and vegan flavors so ample choices for all diets. There is very little indoor seating (one table) but plenty of seating (tables and chairs) outside for people watching. I cannot recommend this place enough!

The scoops of gelato we got here were delicious!!! We tried the strawberry cheesecake and the…read morepistachio and both were amazing and had lots of rich flavor. A single scoop in a cone is 3 euros, and 2 euros with no cone. It was a perfect place to stop at after lunch before heading up to the Pena Palace and Moorish Castle. It's right across from the Sintra Palace a sidewalk away from the main road through the historic centre so very convenient and easy to find! Lots of others were eating gelato from here but it wasn't busy or crowded, and the service was very typical and not problematic.

The gelato I got here was absolutely fantastic. It was the perfect way to cool down from a full day…read morespent walking around the amazing Pena Palace and Castle of the Moors. It was just what I needed. I selected a scoop of the Banana Chocolate gelato and thought it was delicious. The banana gelato didn't taste artificial and there was a good amount of rich, creamy chocolate chunks. Prices are reasonable and there is a large selection of gelato flavors. The cashier was attentive, although a little pushy and impatient. We had walked in a few minutes before close and she made it very clear that we would need to leave right after ordering. She was also pretty impatient with us as we placed our order. All in all, I was happy with the gelato and my only regret was not ordering a larger size!

We came here on the recommendation of a friend. Omigosh, this is the best gelato I have ever had!…read more The depth of flavor, freshness, and not to sweet, good size portion.

Santini is the oldest Portuguese ice cream parlor in Portugal, established in 1949. There are…read moremultiple stores in Lisbon. They are more well known for their fruit flavors. I went with a small, which let me pick two flavors. I went with passion fruit and my standard pistachio. The passion fruit was great, but I've had better pistachio. Even so, I enjoyed it overall.

I am not sure it is still called Frozz, but the location is the same and they still serve gelato…read more It is about 50 cents per scoop cheaper than downtown, but probably one of the better places in town. I loved it that they were ok with samples and let you do two flavors in a kids portion. The best flavor they had was citrus-avocado - the richness of avocado and zing-ness of lemon were just such a heavenly combination. I wish we discovered this place earlier and tried more of their flavors. Do stop by!
