Berthillon a une énorme réputation au niveau de sa crème glacé. Ne vous faites pas avoir par les autres autour qui nagent sur son nom comme "les cornet berthillon", ce ne sont pas le Berthillon qui est juste au coin. Berthillon fait beaucoup plus que juste de la glace. Beaucoup de pâtisserie, gâteau et plusieurs autres choses. Il y a aussi un petit café. Mais j'y étais pour la glace. Un bon cornet sucré 3 boules. Rien d'extraordinaire pour moi, chocolat, vanille et noisette. La glace a la noisette contient des noix à l'intérieur. La glace était parfaitement molle et je comprends l'attente. La goût est juste sublime. Je n'ai jamais goûté de glace de ce genre avant, ça vaut vraiment le détour!

Date/Walnut & Rum/Rasin

Wow so good! Must try, must come back again! Flavors were interesting and unique; not overpriced; flavors were robust. We tried the Rum and Raisin - very rummed raisin so in case you don't like it too boozy many it's not for you. Date and Nuts - YUM. The island has several Berthillon which can be confusing, make sure you make it all the way towards the end for this ice cream shop.

I've been trying to get to this little walk up ice cream stand for years. I finally made it! It is on a small street about a 10 minute walk from Notre Dame. They serve both ice cream and sorbet in cones or cups. The basic flavors were available as well as some unique ones. My daughter had chocolate which was very rich. I had the chocolate mendanti which is chocolate with nuts and fruits. It's based on a cake. It was very good. The cones are a little small. The queue moved fast.

If you're in Paris, you must stop here. Best ice cream on the planet. I've tasted a lot of ice cream in my days and this is the only one I'm willing to stand in line for so yeah, be ready to stand in line, but it's worth it.

Berthillon is both the most famous ice cream maker in Paris and the most famous destination on the Île Saint-Louis, that other island in the Seine east of Île de la Cité. They have a to-go shop, but it is worth taking time to stop in at their salon de thé next door. A pot of tea comes with a scoop of ice cream and two small sweets, but a full three-scoop dish allows one to try more of their unique flavors, like prune and Armagnac, marron glacé (candied chestnut) and rum, or the perfect French vanilla.

Berthillon was on my bucket list of places to try on my recent trip to Paris, and I'm so glad that I made the special trip out to Île Saint Louis. I was a bit intimidated by the line out the door; however, it moved faster than expected, and getting to sitting down in this posh ice cream parlor was absolutely worth it. Berthillon offers an assortment of ice cream and sorbets that are perfect for mixing and matching. I selected the pear sorbet because I've never seen that flavor on a menu before and paired it with the salted butter caramel ice cream. The pear flavor was sublime--imagine a canned pear, but way better. It paired perfectly with the rich and smooth salted butter caramel ice cream. My friends opted for the fig and melon flavors and were just as pleased with their choices. The whole experience felt like a nostalgic trip back in time and made eating ice cream feel like a luxury experience.

Before my first ever visit to Paris, a friend recommended I go to Berthillon for ice cream. I managed to not make it here over 2 visits, but the 3rd time is the charm and I finally got to try this famous ice cream on Île Saint-Louis. Do not be deceived by the empty storefront that is across the street, as I was when I walked up to the darkened windows and felt so much despair until my partner turned me around to see the very much open ice cream shop just across the way. (Not sure what this other space is, if it's a former space or a planned future space.) There is a walk-up line and then next door a sit-down cafe, so you can choose your experience. We lucked out and happened upon Berthillon when there wasn't a huge line, although the crowd outside did worry me at first -- it was a crowd of people just enjoying their ice cream outside on a nice day and not queuing to buy it. Berthillon has a lot of unique flavors that I don't see much elsewhere, and I really really relished my pear and strawberry scoops (which I believe may both actually be sorbets and not ice creams?). Strawberry is one of my classic favorites but I don't get it much out and about unless I trust they will have that real strawberry fruity essence and Berthillon certainly delivered. EXACTLY what I was hoping it would be after a long and unseasonably warm day, much like the pear was as well. It was just so so refreshing, I was thinking about my Berthillon treat long after we left and I'm so grateful I was finally able to visit after 10 years of waiting.

An incredible ice cream and sorbet spot that's always busy, right in the center of Paris. If you're looking for the best ice cream and sorbet around, you've found it here. It's a classic place that has been around for ages, and deserves to be. There's absolutely always a line out the door, and it's completely warranted. The main part of the shop is essentially just a walk up, and there's also a second room now that had table service. The design and ambiance is upscale traditional, with beautiful wooden walls. The staff is extremely friendly and let you take your time, even when they're busy. They have an extensive list of extremely high quality flavors that are all delicious. From fruity flavors like grapefruit to rich caramels and nuts, they've really mastered it all. Everything is so flavorful, creamy, and smooth, and absolutely not too sweet. Scoops are small, but prices are reasonable for the quality. I make sure to always swing by whenever I can, and you should too!

See all

Déception avec un café mocha - Service et préparation frustrants…read moreHier matin, j'ai commandé un café mocha dans votre établissement et j'ai reçu une boisson parfaitement préparée : espresso, lait chaud et la juste dose de chocolat. En soirée, lorsque je suis revenu pour une version à emporter de la même boisson, j'ai vécu une expérience très frustrante. La caissière ne semblait pas connaître le terme " café mocha ". J'ai patiemment expliqué à plusieurs reprises que je souhaitais simplement la même boisson que celle que j'avais appréciée le matin même. Le barista chargé de la préparation n'était non seulement pas familier avec la recette standard, mais s'est montré impoli et dédaigneux. Malgré mes clarifications répétées, il a préparé la commande à contrecœur. Le résultat fut une boisson froide, sans aucune mousse de lait - rien à voir avec la qualité du matin. Après avoir passé beaucoup trop de temps à expliquer et à attendre, j'étais tellement épuisé par l'interaction que j'ai fini par accepter la boisson ratée sans prolonger la situation. Si l'on peut comprendre qu'une caissière ne soit pas une experte en café, le barista qui manipule la machine à café devrait parfaitement maîtriser les recettes classiques comme le café mocha et traiter les clients avec courtoisie et professionnalisme. Je suggère respectueusement au responsable de former correctement le personnel sur les boissons de base et les standards de service client afin que cela ne se reproduise plus. Cette expérience a été à la fois frustrante et inacceptable pour une commande simple et pourtant basique. J'espère que ce retour d'expérience permettra d'améliorer le service pour les futurs clients.

The apple had a lightness to it yet the middle had a fresh apple crunchiness. The other two treats were wonderful. We ordered flat white's and they were done perfect.

THE FOOD ------------------…read more+ Notre Dame Granny Smith Apple Confit - Was refreshing! I couldn't tell if this was a real apple or some fancy French creation made to look like one - that's how real it looked! The mousse and apple bits were cold & delicious and the chocolate shell was good, but not sure if it was worth the price at €7.5. + Pain Au Chocolat Cookie - Verrrry good chocolate chip cookie, chocolate croissant mashup. Only thing that we were missing was some good ol' milk! + Almond Croissant - Once again, delicious! Solid croissant and definitely a good grab and go candidate. = Citronnade - Was just OK. Lemonade that was on the watered down side, but was somewhat refreshing because I was dying of thirst. THE SERVICE ----------------------- - Employee who helped us with our order was friendly, but the cashier was a bit blah and not exactly the friendliest person, especially when we asked for extra utensils and napkins. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ - Smallish, tight interior that you can dine in at, but don't be surprised if the next table is sitting on top of you. + There are also 5 outdoor tables on the narrow street. - Entrance is tight too. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------------- + Even though this bakery is ranked highly on Tripadvisor, there was no crowd on the Monday morning that we swung by. Line moved superfast.
