Rene Nardone sur Lyon

The ice cream parlor in Old Lyon, for a very long time! One of the best!

A friendly welcome, but disappointing ice cream The good points: * Friendly, welcoming, and pleasant staff. * Large, shaded terrace, very pleasant for enjoying an ice cream in peace. The bad points: * The ice cream arrived quite melted, which is a shame. * Big disappointment with the flavors we chose, especially pistachio, cinnamon, and ginger. * The cinnamon really tasted like it was made from cinnamon powder, with a rather unsubtle result. * As for the ginger, the flavor seemed to be made with candied ginger, much too sweet and lacking the fresh and slightly spicy aspect one expects from a true ginger flavor. I even found a forgotten piece of candied ginger in my scoop. In my opinion, there's also a problem with the labeling: if the flavor is based on candied ginger, it would be more accurate to indicate this rather than simply "ginger." Overall, all the flavors we tasted were relatively too sweet and lacked intensity and subtlety. One expects bold, sophisticated flavors from an ice cream shop, but here, we unfortunately found everything rather basic. We also felt that the ice cream-making techniques were stuck in the 80s: the recipes, textures, and flavor combinations gave a rather outdated impression compared to what you can find today from good artisan ice cream makers. This is all the more disappointing because the setting is pleasant and the service is genuinely friendly. There's clearly potential, but for us, the quality of the ice cream didn't live up to the wait.

Delicious! Full of flavors to try! There are vegan options plus an ice cream flavor made for dogs.

I've been there twice and honestly, why go anywhere else for milkshakes? These are so good I don't even want to go to the competition... Special mention to the peanut milkshake, with real peanuts and white chocolate at the bottom of the glass...🤤

Excellent quality product. Very pleasant staff.

I knew Nardonne a few years ago, and their Liège chocolate used to contain homemade chocolate, but now it's Nutella. It completely changes the taste; it's too sweet, and the whipped cream has no flavor at all. The quality and quantity have certainly changed, but not the price.

We ordered a crepe with two scoops of ice cream and an ice cream sundae. The crepe was excellent and the ice creams were very good, but the size of the ice creams was frankly ridiculous. So much so that with the crepe, it was impossible to fully enjoy the ice cream because it was so small. It's a shame. The same goes for the ice cream sundae; we expected a much larger portion than what was served, especially considering the price.

Absolutely delicious and great value for money! I highly recommend trying the crepes with ice cream – they're amazing! It's just very busy for such a small staff, so expect a wait.

I tried the two-flavor cone, dark chocolate and blackberry. The blackberry was very good, but the dark chocolate was a little too sweet for my taste. Only takeaway wafers are available, not the traditional cone. Two flavors, €6, more expensive than average, but you get a wafer instead of a cone.

Very good ice cream, I recommend it.
