You know those Sundays when there's rice at home, but you still want brunch (because brunch isn't just about the food), that's where Hans and Rene comes in!
Hans and Rene is an gelato cafe (my words). They have gelato, sorbet, slush, sweets, coffee, tea, cakes, cookies and pastries (ps- I hate the word pastries).
It's inside the Radisson Hotel at the side and has this cute outside seating strip.
Their gelato has 40% less fat than ice-cream (has an extra scoop).
Ps- their salted caramel gelato has popcorn in it. It's an unpleasant surprise.
Their sorbets look creamy because they are churned really slowly, not because they have any cream. This zobo sorbet was delicious.
You can taste as many flavours as you want (I think). The last time I was there, I did see this little girl taste like 10. She had a stack of used spoons.
Cruffins are croissant + muffin. They taste more like croissants, but not as flaky. Still delicious though!
These doughnuts are cakey and delicious but small enough for you to not to feel too guilty about it.
It's done up really well and the seating feels spacious and comfortable. I was tempted to plant myself here for a day, it's easily that kind of place.
This 3D wallpaper in the bathroom was interesting. We ended up posing on it. My
's picture turned out better than mine. Mine was lame, but sitting on a pretend chair is a lot harder than it looks.
These painted ceilings are pretty! And so real. One of my favourite things!
I had the regular vanilla and nutella gelato. My cousin had the rice milk vanilla and chocolate vanilla which is a great option for the lactose intolerant and fitfam.
This is hands down, the best mocha I've had in Lagos (then again, I haven't had many). It was creamy and perfect.
Hans and Rene is in Radisson Blu Hotel on Ozumba Mbadiwe and is open 12pm-7pm, Mondays to Fridays and 12pm to 8.30pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
