The first ice cream store in Blarney opened it’s doors for the several weeks ago with a special offer of free ice cream all day but I didn’t stop by there until today.
The store is Il Gelato and it’s around the corner from the main square in Blarney. If you’re in the area, you owe yourself the chance to try out their delicious produce. They offer a range of flavours from the usual vanilla, to chocolate, mint, strawberry and a few other unusual ones. I bought a large tub of chocolate and strawberry. Disappointingly, I thought the tub was quite small and too expensive until I tasted it. It must be the richest and creamiest ice cream I’ve ever tasted! We were after dinner in the Blarney Castle Hotel but I had room for dessert yet I could barely finish the tub!
We all enjoyed our ice cream, and even Adam got a taste of it, despite my earlier protestations that he wouldn’t taste ice cream until he was much older! I’m glad his first taste of ice cream was a good one.
A large tub is €4.80 which seems expensive, but it’s worth it. Delicious!
I must check it out the next time we’re in Blarney.
I was in Ireland for my brothers wedding last summer, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be back for the ice cream this summer. Much as I’d like to. Maybe next year.

Valentino’s
Valentino’s is one of the busiest fish & chip places in Northern Ireland, it’s based in Rostrevor, Co. Down, & is probably the perfect place to go if you’re after delicious fish and chips and will not disappoint if you’re tummy is rumbling and you fancy a fishy treat. This award winning shop really has to be visited if you’re exploring the area and after travelling along the majestic beauty of the south Down coast, a visit to the Valentino’s is highly recommended & the best is they have two shops so if you don’t fancy fish & chips try the pizza it’s the best Italian pizza anywhere around.
Valentino’s may well be the jewel in Co. Down’s crown and it’s no wonder, it’s the perfect place to go if you’re after delicious fish and chips and it will not disappoint you if your wee tummy is rumbling and you fancy a fishy treat. This fish & chip shop, is in the most beautiful seaside village of Rostrevor, this village has it all the best fish & chip shop & the best pizzeria plus it’s got the most wonderful scenery and best bit of all it’s the home of
{ valentino’s Northern Ireland’s most famous fish and chip shops.}
So after walking the along the shore front or in the kilbroney forest and taking in the refreshing seaside air, a fish supper from Valentino’s fish & chip shop or a pizza from the other shop is the perfect way to round off your stay in Rostrevor.
If anyone is ever in county armagh there’s a shop called Dolce and Gelato in Portadown, in has the best gelato (it’s authentic) this side of italy! trust me im a regular!
This gelato place is lovely but a little over priced – lower prices would make a world of difference!
