| - First, they have a great great name. I chuckle every time I pass by them. A great hommage to the cows we have to thank! But then, this hole in the wall is just that, it looks a bit.. neglected. :( Don't fear and let yourself be tempted by all their weird flavours on the little blackboard (strawberry cheesecake, salted caramel, lavander, rhubarb sorbet, dutch chocolate).
So you've crawled into the yellow shop, and now you're facing all sorts of pots thinking: "it all looks a bit dull". Yes, it does. You see, Meu Meu uses all natural ingredients, including fresh cream, so everything looks a bit more bland without the extra color additives, but thankfully that has nothing to do with the rich fatty taste!
Now take a big breath and look around you. Meu Meu offers so much more than ice cream!! Sorbet, Soymilk ice cream, but also ice cream sandwiches, blizzards, banana splits and fruit smoothies. Find all the little cues above the enthusiastic salesgirl!
Now that you have your ice cream, in either a little bowl, or a sweet, waffled cone, comes the real fun. Where to sit?! Nowhere! The art of going to Meu Meu consists of ordering at exactly the right time, so that you'll have a place on the benches on St-Denis. Otherwise, you're doomed to err on the street with your melting cone, and when it'll have been eaten, you'll find a place to sit. So you'll have to come back to Meu Meu.
Alright Meu Meu, 5 stars, but it's really because you're so darn lovable.
