In recent years, much efforts and energies have been put in the old train station area, near the Nations' Lake. The greatest achievement is without any doubts the old building's restoration . One can now find, a butcher, a cheese maker, a chocolate make and very special dairyshop : Savoroso for Italian ice cream produts made in Sherbrooke.
Municipal authorities gave a clear objective to the Traders Market Train Station. They must increase the well being and quality of life in Sherbrooke's city. At Savoroso, the achievement of this objective is certainly made thought health products and the creation of an entertainment buzz.
The project's original thinker, Frederic Farrugia, can indeed build its popularity on its gelato, Italian ice cream, already very popular in Europe. Then their terrace, which vibrate with the sounds of jazz musicians throught the starlight. They even got a liquor license as a bonus!
The Sherbrooke owner with Italian origins has created most of the recipes that we can enjoy by himself. He also received the support of a Quebec merchant, one of the most famous province in the area.
Among his creations, we must highlight the most popular. Gelato with Nutella, Red Bull or Baileys, the famous drink. Not to mention the other great savors such as raspberries and mangoes.
But over and above the icecream, the terrace located within walking distance of the Fountain of Nations Lake just beautifully complemented the whole experience. Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon jazz groups, blues and Latin are adding to the ambience of the area.
The drinks and alcohol-based gelato is a novelty and a great discovery. In 5-7, please try mixtures of sherbet or gelato with Vodka, Dry Gin or Amaretto.
You also have a large selection of coffees, made with one of the most powerful machines on the market! There is also a mixture Affogelato, which is a scoop of gelato added to an espresso.
I bet that after your walk around the lake, before shopping at the market, you will take a break on the terrace to refresh yourself with a gelato of your choice. So this is another must-sees in Sherbrooke, as well as the Cartier at the other end of the lake.
The healthy alternative to ice cream, which contains a lot of fat, is unquestionably the gelato. Savoroso handcraft the gelato here and, for quality control, mixtures are made with fresh fruit. The sandwiches are made with ingredients as fresh as the gelato.
