Coupe Matadi
For a unique ice cream experience, Coupe Matadi is the place to go. What makes it so special? Here, you’ll get to have ice cream on a boat in the Leuven canal! This shop is extremely dedicated to having the most natural ingredients for their ice cream, meaning you really can’t go wrong with choosing one (or multiple!) flavours. We recommend trying the Bolleke Boat flavour, it features both the colours and flavours of Belgium! Coupe Matadi also has vegan friendly and dairy free options.
