Eiss season in Vienna: According to Gault & Millau, the top eisalons unveiled!

Margaretenstraße 42, 1040 Wien, Österreich - The ice season in Vienna has officially started and attracts numerous onlookers to the city's ice cream parlors. Long snakes in front of the shops testify to the great anticipation of the cool delicacies, which are particularly diverse this year. In this context, Gault & Millau chose the most popular ice cream parlors in the city, which not only reflects the ice culture, but also illustrates the emotional binding of the Viennese for their favorite places for ice cream. According to [OE24], the 2025 ice season not only offers classics, but also innovative flavors that provide variety.

The top 5 of the ice cream parlors in Vienna, which Gault & Millau referred to, are a real pleasure for all ice lovers:

Innovative ERISTRENDS and specialties

In addition to the established favorites, new and creative ice cream types cause a stir. The official opening of the season took place on March 19, organized by industry spokesman Andrew Nussbaumer and Luca Alberti from the Austria Chamber of Commerce (WKÖ). They announced the "Johann Strauss ice weeks" and the "children ice weeks", in which creative ice creations are being developed especially for the youngest ice fans.

In 2025, Johann Strauss (son )'s 200th birthday is also taken into account. Eissalon operators offer special tastes that reflect the works of the composer, for example the champagne gelato "The Bat" and the Tiramisu ice cream "One night in Venice". Europe also has the “Hallelujah” ice cream, a mixture of Gianduja ice cream with roasted hazelnuts and chocolate, which also leads the tastes of the season.

special events and social engagements

Another important appointment in the ice calendar is the “day of the handcrafted ice cream” on March 24th, where many ice cream parlors offer special campaigns and new varieties. The EU project "Gelaton the Road" also brings actions to Austria from April 10th to April 18th and from May 20 to 31, to bring out craftsmanship. This is done in connection with live cooking shows and other promotions.

The ice cream parlor in Vienna has been showing support for St. Anna Children's Cancer Research for almost 25 years, which also gives culinary enjoyment a social component. Against this background, the 2025 ice season not only promises the highlights of the taste, but also a strong commitment in the community. The Viennese ice landscape is ready to inspire its visitors with an impressive selection and original ideas, while the city is preparing for a hot summer.
