Bekù Gelato - Carlton

Bekù Gelato sits on Lygon Street in Carlton, the street synonymous with Italian food and gelato in Melbourne. A much-loved gelato spot, it's earned a strong reputation for its authentic, beautifully made gelato — carrying on the great Lygon Street tradition of a post-dinner sweet treat, in the heart of the city's Italian quarter.

The appeal is that focus on genuinely good, Italian-style gelato in a buzzing, characterful location, perfect for a treat while exploring Carlton or after a meal on Lygon Street. In an area where the competition for your sweet tooth is fierce, building a strong following speaks to a place getting its gelato just right.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 900 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Flavours, opening hours and offerings change, and a popular gelato spot gets busy on warm evenings and weekends, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a casual scoop, you can usually just drop in and pick from the day's selection, ideally enjoyed with a stroll down Lygon Street.
