You know, Sint-Truiden is really starting to grow on me. When Australia Ice Cream closed their doors for the night on Sunday before we'd finished dinner next door, I was crushed that I wouldn't be able to get my ice cream fix. Luckily, Venise was wide open for business, and I sure am glad they were.
Star 1: How was the service and atmosphere?
Quick, friendly, conveniently located. Brilliant on all counts. The man behind the counter spoke flawless English (welcome to Belgium), and even helped us out in picking good flavor combos. Star Granted.
Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?
For €2.20 I pulled two decent sized scoops in a cone. Cheap? Not necessarily, but a good dessert under €3? Can't complain. Star Granted.
Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?
Was this the best ice cream I'd ever had in my life? No, and it wasn't near gelato-status, but this was good stuff. I opted for a scoop of white chocolate and a scoop of standard chocolate, and both were very good. The white chocolate even had little chunks of real chocolate in it, which was a nice treat indeed. Single Star Granted.
Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could?
I wasn't planning on dishing out this star when I was enjoying my ice cream, but it really does appear to be hands down the best dessert location in the area, and for that reason, with their varied menu and comfortable setting, I could indeed come here daily. Star Granted. read more
