When visiting Switzerland, one has to eat at a Mövenpick restaurant or at the bare minimum try their ice cream. To me it is the best ice cream in Switzerland. read more

A wonderfully managed ice cream shop that even has table service! The ice cream was delicious and had a large variety of options and the style in which it's served is beautiful. Would definitely recommend for travelers or even someone who just loves ice cream! read more

I've heard so much about Movenpick so was super excited to try it! Picked up a scoop of stracciatella and the flavor tasted just like milk and the texture was a little off. It tasted different than the stracciatella I've had before. read more

Mint Chocolate Chip was my favorite flavor back in the States, but thanks to this shop, now I have a new fav-- Amaretto & Almond! It's fresh, sweet, creamy, and delicious. Not sure if I could really taste the Amaretto alcohol, but it should be kind of light, anyway. The guy at the counter was really generous with the samples and even sampled some ice cream with us. Although the shop enticed me with the heavenly scent of fresh-baked waffle cones, we took our ice creams down by the lake to enjoy while watching the swans and sunset over Zürich. read more

Mövenpick - Amaretto & Almond and Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Zürich, ZH

I love ice cream ... so naturally when I stopped in Zurich for a long layover, I knew I had to find a good ice cream joint. After yelping the area, it seemed obvious that Movenpick was the place to go. They have a fair variety of flavors ... I had the swiss chocolate (because obviously) and the blackcurrant and cream. Both were very different, but very flavorful. Just the right creamy texture and not overly decadent. Pretty spot on as far as ice cream goes. Not sure if it's the milk quality or just the makers of the ice cream, but this was among the best I've tried! Definitely recommend. Note: They also have small carts along major roads, but those only take cash! Stay Cheerful ;) read more

Pricey ice cream but it's worth the splurge. We paid ~15 francs for 4 scoops of ice cream in 2 cups. The people are super friendly and willing to speak English to me. Most of the menu is in English so if you're a tourist like me you'll be fine. I definitely recommend Swiss chocolate, it is my new favorite! If you sit down and order from a waiter, the price is slightly more expensive, you've been warned. We just grab them and ate on a train. read more

The blueberry cheesecake and vanilla brownie ice cream n it was delicious! The staff was very friendly and nice! Def coming back next time I'm here read more

LOVE this place!!! The ice cream is pretty incredible. My husband and I come here and get our fix at least once a week. We usually sit at an outside table to soak up the warm weather and people watch (worth the slightly higher price of table service). Most of the flavors are delicious but my absolute favorite is the Swiss Chocolate and Marco's is the Stracciatella. The pear flavor is super yummy as well as the raspberry, maple walnut, and rum raisin. Their coffees are not bad either, comes with a small square of chocolate on the side with the Movenpick logo on it. No matter which flavors I choose, my most favorite part of the ice cream cone is the last bite where the tip of the cone is filled with the soft slightly melted ice cream that partially soaked into the inside wall of the cone. When I take that last bite everything else seem to fade away for just a few moments.....mmm...life is sweet! read more

The rain and cold outside in February did not deter me. I had to make a stop here. Awesome stuff!!! I had the waffle and chocolate ice cream and it was a party in my mouth. Only downside is that they don't accept Amex. read more

Mövenpick is switzerland's pride and joy. They have seriously the best ice cream you could taste, and even though it is really pricey, it is not overpriced. It just is that good and worth every penny. My favorites are their cream based ice creams, Especially the maple walnut and the mint chocolate are absolutely impeccable. I gotta trytheir white chocolate one too... It i right at bellevueplatz so it i easy to get there, however, it is quite popular so calculate some waiting time into your schedule. Take a tram to bellevue or stadelhofen or opernhaus. In my opinion, it is better than the ones you can buy at your grocery store, it isnt frozen down like that so the flavors are much more colourful... I dont know how to describe it properly, it is so good. I usually dont like cornets either, but they just have the best ones (well they are a little flakey... Aka messy) You gotta try moevenpick when in zurich!!!!! read more

Mövenpick - Mint chocolate ice cream - heavenly! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Zürich, ZH

Nomnomnom. The ice cream is amazing. I am very simplistic when it comes to ice cream, I don't like a lot of stuff in it, but the Swiss Chocolate with the little shavings of chocolate inside is just beyond me... so unbelievably good. mmm. Service is never too friendly and the ice cream will cost you a pretty penny. :( The cost goes up if you eat there, even if it is on the patio, so take it togo if the weather allows and go sit by the lake! read more

Great ice cream! They come at a hefty price tag though. I don't want to sound sexist here, but from my experience the guys serve larger scoops than the girls. So if you want to get better value for your money, try to order with a guy! read more

We came from California and it's safe to say this ice cream is better than anything we have by far!

There were lots of ice cream flavors and options. We enjoyed a sundae with 3 flavors: Swiss chocolate, blueberry cheesecake (this was our fave!), and salted caramel. Also the menu was in English so there was no issues for tourists. Definitely would recommend trying this place! read more

After multiple times in Switzerland, I finally enjoyed my first Movenpick ice cream experience. I wasn't sure if I could ask for samples, so I took a calculated risk with the Cognac VSOP and pannacotta flavors. They were quite delicious. I enjoy sampled my friend's amaretto and almond. Here's what I love about Movenpick: their ice cream's density, its striations as you cut through it, the flavors and their variety. It's well worth checking out. And once you purchase your ice cream, walk around and enjoy the surrounding view. read more

Great ice cream. On the pricy side, but worth it. Had the Swiss chocolate, creme brûlée and pear. All were delicious. Great variety of flavors, the sorbets are refreshing, the ice cream was creamy. Only satisfying meal that I had during a weekend in Zurich. read more

Mövenpick surely knows what they are doing. As many described already, their ice cream is indeed creamy, smooth, and delicious. But a distinction is that every ice cream flavor (at least for the ones that we have tried) comes with simple little chunks of whatever flavor. As someone who likes chunky peanut butter, you bet that I'm instantly delighted to relish on little pieces of mango and blackcurrant in my mango and blackcurrant ice cream, respectively. I also tried the lime and mint chocolate, and there were little lime and chocolate chunks as well. Simple but so gooood! The only catch (for a non-Swiss, at least) is the cost. Taste, in this case, does not come cheap. Also, be aware that if you order your ice cream on-the-go, then you are NOT allowed to seat in their cafe or their outdoor seating area as those seats are only for service. We enjoyed ours sitting on the steps outside of the Opera House, so no problem for us there. read more

We asked our hotel for an ice cream recommendation on a blazing hot day, and they said Movenpick, no question. They raved about the "amazing" flavours, but they looked like what I would expect from a decent US grocery store, to be honest. Really long queue, although it moved reasonably quickly. And, since it's Zurich, it's incredibly expensive. I would say this doesn't hold a candle to Paris' Berthillon, and costs 2-3x as much, but then again you take what you can get where you are, and on the day, this was A-OK with me. read more

This place may offer some of the best ice cream I have ever tasted. However, it is pricey and if the weather is even slightly better than gray and rainy you can expect to wait in a long, slow moving line. They always have at least 10 flavors to choose from and the waffle cones are made in house. The ice cream is rich, delicious, creamy goodness. My favorites are swiss chocolate, white chocolate, and mint chocolate. There is ample indoor seating which is always clean (a rarity for an ice cream shop). There are a few tables outside as well. If I remember correctly, two scoops in a cup cost around 8.60 chf, pretty pricey but the ice cream is so rich, one scoop is sure to satisfy. read more

They are open until 11 p.m. so was perfect stop for late evening treat. Good selection of flavors, quick service, and busy.

Good ice but super rude staffwould recommend Raphaels instead nicer staff better icecreamstay calm and eat good food with yelpu sream i scream we all scream for movenpick icecream read more

Not the best choice for families to take a sest. Tables and chairs dirty. Iced machiato tastes like crap. Plenty of smokers.

Outstanding ice cream. I got the mango creme and it was just fantastic if not a little pricey. Wife got some dessert that was 15CHF and didn't seem worth it. Stick with the ice cream and you can't go wrong. Apparently, this is well known and I can see why. read more
