Ralf's Artisan Gelato

I have to say it's the best gelato in Vietnam, if not all of Asia and even places in Europe. Ralf is a master of artisanal gelato! His flavors are natural and creamy. Don't hesitate to try them because you'll be amazed by their quality and won't want to go anywhere else! My favorite place in Saigon, without a doubt.

Ralf's new spot at Eco Wellness is a bit cosy, but it got a lovely balcony overlooking the street. There is seating for about six people out there, with four spots right by the railing. Inside, you will find two more seats with a pool view and another two in the courtyard downstairs. The menu changes monthly, so there is always something new to try. In addition to traditional flavours, there will be about 2-3 creative gelato flavours with special ingredients, such as fish sauce gelato or beef pho sorbet – the kind of quirky treats that made Ralf's Gelato stand out among Saigon's gelaterias a few years ago. The price of VND 70.000 may sound expensive at first, but if you consider the weight and quality you get, Ralf's is definitely the place that sells the best and cheapest gelato in the area! For VND 70.000, you can get 2 scoops of 2 different gelato flavours, 1 large scoop and 1 (not at all) small scoop. I reckon the best combos are ones with similar base notes (strawberry and lime / chocolate and coffee / smurf and coconut). Those who prefer a bold flavour combo can try the combination of raspberry sorbet and Belgian chocolate like me. But to be honest, I am not a huge fan of that pairing myself.

Easily the best Gelato I've had in all of Vietnam. You can really taste the natural flavors, not artificial like many of the other places I've tried here. Plus, Tram and the staff are always very kind, friendly, and thoughtful!

It’s not that easy to find a place selling gelato, especially an authentic one in HCMC. From the smoothest nutty flavour to tongue-tingling fruit-based sherbet, this is where to find the most delicious Italian-style ice cream in town. Some of our highly recommended flavours are Hazelnuts, Rum & Raisin, Belgium Chocolate and Mango Sorbet.👍🏻👍🏻

The Best Gelato in Saigon: A Taste of Italy in the Heart of the City If you are a gelato lover, you know that finding the perfect scoop outside of Italy is nearly impossible. However, Ralf’s Gelato is a total game-changer. I would go as far as saying this is the best gelato in Saigon, easily rivaling my favorite spots in Florence. • Pistachio D.O.P (Sicily): This is the undisputed "Miss Universe" of the shop. Using authentic Sicilian pistachios, the flavor is incredibly nutty and aromatic. The texture is pure silk—it is so well-crafted that even if you keep it in your freezer at home, it remains soft and smooth rather than turning into a block of ice. • Almond: To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for this one, but the first spoonful left me speechless. It is elegant, refined, and incredibly sophisticated. It has a delicate sweetness that feels truly "noble." The quality here is so high that I could easily eat five scoops in one sitting. It’s a relief to know I no longer have to fly all the way to Italy just to satisfy a craving! Ironically, I’ve found that the pistachio gelato here is actually superior to many versions I’ve tried back in Sicily. If you want an authentic, premium gelato experience that values texture and ingredient integrity, Ralf’s is the only place to go.
