Hey, it’s yet another place doing dipped cones.  Hooray?

Look, I can’t say no to ice cream, but as I mentioned in my review of Chocolats Favoris last year, we’ve got a lot of places that serve dipped cones in Toronto.  It’s a crowded field.

So does Les Epicuriens stand out?  I dunno, not really?  I mean, they have a lot of dip options (a dozen when I visited), but then most of these places have a lot of dip options.  They also have a handful of toppings (various nuts, candy pieces, etc.), but that’s also par for the course.

I went with the “special vanilla” ice cream (vegan chocolate is also an option) with a pistachio dip.

The ice cream is really good.  It’s very rich and creamy with a nice, clean flavour.  I’d say it’s about on par with Tom’s.

The dip was fine, though it was aggressively sweet and had only a mild pistachio flavour.  It basically tasted like white chocolate with a vague whiff of nuttiness.  I’d probably try a different dip next time, or just get the ice cream on its own.
