About

Cremerie François, one of Belgium’s oldest ice‑cream salons, has delighted locals and visitors since 1928 with its authentic, hand‑crafted flavors. Nestled in the heart of Sint‑Niklaas on Ankerstraat 34, the shop showcases a charming, airy interior where guests can watch the artisanal process of making ice cream from freshly‑pasteurised raw milk. From classic vanilla and mocha to fun‑filled creations like the “Pikachu” and “Spiderman” ice‑cakes, every treat is crafted with natural, locally‑sourced ingredients and no artificial additives. The welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and convenient take‑away service make it a must‑visit destination for families, couples, and solo travelers seeking a sweet escape. Beyond the delightful menu, the salon hosts regular ice‑cream workshops and offers a range of custom cakes for celebrations, from weddings to birthdays. The on‑site kitchen even provides delivery for orders over €25, ensuring that the creamy creations can be enjoyed at home or on the go. With a cozy seating area, a vintage counter, and the standout highlight of freshly spun gelato, Cremerie François offers a taste of Belgian tradition that is as inviting as it is delicious.
