Milkshake trend touches down at ibis Hotels Australia

AccorHotels ibis brand has jumped on the freakshake bandwagon, inviting guests to shake up their stay and tastebuds with its dangerously decadent new Shimmy Shake range.

Made to please with social media-minded millennial fans and milkshake aficionados in mind, the indulgent new menu is bursting with personality.

Gastrology recently visited ibis Melbourne Hotel & Apartments to test drive the shakes and the affordable and contemporary food offering.

We loved trying 2 of the decadent Shimmy Shakes. Not for the fainthearted, the Salted Caramel Shimmy Shake was a showstopper topped with caramelised popcorn and waffle while The sweet and salty Nutella shake served with rocky road and pretzels will delight any Nutella lover. Priced at $7 each, all ibis Shimmy Shakes are served in vintage mason jars with fresh cream at participating ibis hotels across Australia.

The ibis Shimmy Shake complements the brand’s ibis Boomer Burger, a premium Angus beef offering cooked fresh to order. The menu also features some healthier options - we recommend the Grilled Calamari Thai salad which is a vibrant amalgamation of cucumber, carrot, onion, bean shoots, tomato, lettuce and coriander, all brought together with a nam jim dressing.

The new Shimmy Shake range complements ibis' existing menu items, and adds to ibis' increasing range of affordable and contemporary food and drink offerings.
