Chicho Gelato

Top choice in Perth


Hands down Perth's best gelato. With innovative flavours like avocado with candied bacon, and everything made from real ingredients (no fake flavourings here), it's easy to see why. Expect queues in the evening – don't worry, the line moves quickly – and ask about current collaborations with local chefs. Do pay $1 extra to have melted chocolate poured into your waffle cone.
