Decided to try this ice cream and waffle place in Brussels - recommended in a travel guide. Had Brussels and Liege waffles - Gaston style! Whipped cream and apples on top. Very tasty although the waffles weren't made fresh - they were reheated. Seemed very popular for ice cream - will have to try in the future. Nice seating area inside. read more

This is my fiancé's favorite spot in Brussels for ice cream. Very well known for their ice cream and the variety they offer. Basically, you never really know what you're going to see on the menu with the exception of the classics. By far my favorites were Persian pistachio, and almonds from Verona. We went there several times on our short trip and we were able to squeeze in their fresh waffles and coffee which were good. Staff very friendly and passionate about Gaston's products. A definite stop when visiting Brussels! read more

Wow. Excellent ice cream and good flavors. Very good quality. Next time, I will try a waffle.

We ended up at this place completely by chance. After driving by at night a couple of times, one of us always noticed a line outside, so she suggested it for an evening sweet treat instead of chocolate. It was a good call because it's close to our hotel and killed some time before the light show we were planning on attending at the flower carpet. There is a line, but it moves quickly. You order your size and pay first and then you move on to specifics with the scooper. FYI if you order two scoops, you better hope and pray that you get more of the flavor you *really* wanted because it's more like a 75-25 portion divide instead of 50-50. Here's what we discovered: sorbets are, shockingly, the way to go here. They are AMAZING, especially on a hot day. Our daughter's cherry was by far the best one, with passionfruit and strawberry earning silver. One of us went traditional--"half" vanilla and "half" pistachio--and regretted it. Nothing was wrong, per se, but they were amateur hour compared to the sorbets. There's plenty of seating outside and you can also cross the street to sit by the fountain/pool area, which is what we did. Four stars, but we wouldn't say that having this ice cream is an absolute must if you're visiting Belgium. read more

There's a lot of talk about the best ice cream spot in Brussels. Google that and I'm sure Gaston will be towards the top to the list. Well, the wife and I figured we'd give it and shot and see if it lives up to the hype. We got there at about 6:30pm on a Wednesday and there was no shortage of ice cream...there also wasn't a line. I got Rhum Raisin and their Caramelized Pecan, the wife got the Stracaitella and the Caramelized Pecan as well. It's been a long time since I've had, or for that matter seen a Rhum Raisin flavor on the menu so I was pretty excited to see it. I thought the flavors of both were predominant and enjoyed it a lot. My wife though it was a bit on the sweet side, but I like sweet stuff, so it's not a problem for me! They have so many great looking flavors, I cannot wait to go back! read more

Overhyped? I came here after finishing my other ice cream cone just to give it a try. I like how they have a bunch of mixed flavors but wow was it sweet. I haven't had an overly sweet ice cream scoop in a while. You are probably thinking it's because I just had ice cream.. no, I've had dessert back to back before. read more

If you have ever seen charlie and the chocolate factory and you dream of chocolate fountains, here you go. This place is incredible. An honest to goodness nozzle of a chocolate fountain of ever flowing milk chocolate, cakes and pastries all on display look heavenly (the vanilla choc cake, a swirl, just dry enough to be able to balance on your fork and dip into your coco) and an option to get a cocoa intense (STRAIGHT liquid chocolate! I die) versus a hot cocoa with a layer of liquid gold on the bottom covered in steamed milk. Oh geez. I thought I had walked the wrong way in Brusses (as if that's possible) and BAM we found the best chocolate store ever. A lovely grandma and her granddaughter shared a banana split and another father son combo had drinks and cake. Everything looked gorgeous and delicious. That smell of cocoa and vanilla made me want to "accidentally" knock over the freshly baked cake and waffle cone tray and make a nose dive for the ground to eat it all up. I shall dream of this drink. read more

Superb. Worth searching out. Not the heavy weighty hard cream found in the US. Much lighter and airy. More like gelato than thick ice cream. Favor just bursts forth because it is not buried under ounces and ounces of sugar. A culinary delight. read more

Excellent ice cream! Delicious espresso! Sat outside and enjoyed the fountain. I only wish I had gotten more espresso! Kids loved the ice cream cones, and the flavors were a nice variety. They also served sorbet! read more

Gaston - Espresso - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brussels, BRU

SO GOOD! All sorts of flavors available (some of them I just didn't know because I don't speak French). Open till 10:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays so you can get dinner and then get ice cream. The ice cream is so creamy and delicious. I came here two nights in a row because it was so tasty lol. PLUS, it's right in Ste. Catherine's Square next to the fountain so you can relax and eat ice cream while looking at the fountain. Not a bad way to spend an evening in Brussels. read more

The hotel front desk said Gaston has the best ice cream in Brussels. They were right. This stuff is great. Get a cup or cone and sit outside by the fountain. A great way to spend the evening. read more

Great people behind the counter and ginger juices that could wake up a dragon. Their financiers are terrific.

Love this place! Nice coffee, great pastries (tried financier-delicious), lots of places outside. And... Ice-cream! It is very very very good. They have the one wig sole taste and mixed (tried sesame-vanilla-banana - good). read more
