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! read more

The store front is a tiny walk up window that you can easily pass by if you weren't looking for it. You know it's good ice cream when you walk around the corner and see 3 cafes prominently display they carry Berthillon ice cream. The Wild Strawberry tasted refreshingly vibrant and bright with small chunks of wild strawberries. The Coffee ice cream lusciously smooth and creamy with a bold coffee essence. Happy Eating!! read more

Berthillon on Île Saint-Louis is one of those places I keep coming back to, and it never disappoints. Even in the chill of winter, I could not resist stopping by for a scoop. There is something about the setting that feels quietly magical, with the historic streets and soft glow from the shop windows making it just as special in the off-season. The ice cream is just as I remembered. It is rich, velvety, and full of deep, natural flavor. It is refined without being fussy, and every scoop feels like a little indulgence done right. Having visited before, I already held it in high regard, but this visit reminded me why it stands out year after year. Berthillon is a true Paris classic that always feels worth the detour, no matter the season. read more

The île Saint-Louis is pretty special, & so is Berthillon. There are several walk-up windows & cafes that offer the famous ice cream brand, but the original location is smack-dab in the center of the island. I'll spare you the details of how lactose is no friend of mine, but that's how I ended up with sorbet instead of dairy-heavy ice cream. My companion & I shared two scoops on a cone -- fresh & naturally-sweet framboise, as well as cassis (blackcurrant) which, to our tastebuds, was reminiscent of earthy but syrupy tamarind. A superb treat! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Put this place on your list everyone I know and everyone on social media said this is the best ice cream in France! We kept trying to find it or when we did find it, We were too tired I can't remember, but we never made it. It is on my list for the next time we go to France. read more

When I tell you that this ice cream shop has ruined me forever, it's an understatement. This is some of the best ice cream I've ever had. The presentation is immaculate, the sea salt caramel paired with whipped cream and raspberry sauce is legit EPIC. It's paired with a flaky ice cream cone, and I swear no one has ever done it better. When I tell you no other ice cream shop will measure up, I mean it. The service is kind and welcoming, even though they're slammed while dozens of desperate clients await. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Fantastic ice cream. There's a steady stream of tourists and a hefty line, but it moved quickly. We sampled the wild strawberry and coconut. Infused with fruit and flavor, it did not disappoint. So many flavors sounded intriguing and delicious. Worth the walk and the wait. read more

I loved the ice cream here. Even though it was a cold day, my wife and I made the trip and sat inside the little cafe to get 2 scoops. The place provides ice cream to many shops in the area, so you will see their logo all over the place, but this is the main location -- I think. Looking at the other reviews, we were lucky since there was no line when we went. OK, it was probably before noon on a cloudy day and who eats ice cream for breakfast? US, that's who! The flavors are very bright (I had the mango) or deep (my wife had the chocolate and I had a scoop of pistachio), so you know that they care about the ingredients that they're putting into the product. I am glad we made it here on this trip. Highly recommended. read more

Recommended by a friend who lived in Paris - and WELL worth the walk. We were advised to note that many spots serve the Berthillon brand, but the actual home business is at the farther end of the street on Ile Saint-Louis. The hype was on target! We opted to wait for a table in the classy, classic small sit down area - and the service was fast and friendly. The ice cream was delicious, creamy and flavors were original. Presentation was beautiful with the beautiful thin almond crisp and the optional, fresh whip cream. I could live there and die from ice cream overdose with no regrets. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Berthillon is the best ice cream on the planet. Okay - there is a 400 ice cream shop tie for number one on the planet because ice cream making has gotten so good in the last forty years. This has not diminished the quality of Berthillon one bit. Berthillon is simply amazing. Don't get your Berthillon at a stupid tourist cafe. Go to the real Berthillon. They have a walk in take out ice cream cone place ... And a full formal tea room. You can't go wrong either way but I vote for the tea room. They have baked goods and hot drinks in the tea room to go with your ice cream. Plus it is a nice room. Just for the record - the baked goods are just as amazing as the ice cream. Still, if you are visiting Paris and don't live here - you really want to have the ice cream. My most recent visit there took me on a daring experiment. Having had their bold amazing flavors many times ... And having absolutely adored them all .. This time I changed the plan. I intentionally ordered the two most boring flavors possible on the menu. Vanilla and Honey Nougat. In many outstanding ice cream places - you have to order the bold flavors. If you order the nothing flavors, you end up with nothing. * * * I can tell you with great happiness - That the boring flavors at Berthillon are absolutely positively NOT boring. Not one bit. They were just as amazing as the bold flavors. The vanilla was the most vanilla-y thing I have eaten in my life. I don't know how many vanilla beans went into my ice cream, but I would guess it was probably more than two boatfuls. (The Number two most vanilla-y thing I have eaten in my life Is my own homemade vanilla blancmange. I have never had a better vanilla dessert ... Except at Berthillon.) * * * The Honey Nougat was an eye opener. Usually as Americans our only experience with nougat is as a bad filler in commercial candy bars. Baby Ruth bars are one of the reasons Americans avoid nougat. So are stale nougat wrapper candies. French candy stores sell fresh good nougat. You can also buy it at open air markets. Berthillon's Honey Nougat Ice cream is Honey and Nut flavored. There is a strong and distinctive mixed nut taste. (Almost as distinctive as a walnut taste although I don't think walnuts are in here.) The honey plays off it wonderfully. Which did I prefer - the Vanilla or the Honey Nougat? I preferred both of them. * * * If this is what Berthillon can do with mild restrained flavors, Use your imagination to imagine what they do with stronger stuff. Their bittersweet cacao is an ice cream never to be forgotten. * * * Don't pick a tourist attraction and eat around that tourist attraction. Go to Berthillon for ice cream. Hold out for the tea room if you can because you want to make this last. You can see tourist stuff after that. There are plenty of things to see on the Ile-de-Saint-Louis. You will have an absolutely outstanding day. read more

While in Paris with my mother, we made our way to Berthillon for dessert one night after dinner. It was located within walking distance of our hotel near the Cathedral of Notre Dame. I love that they offer both a take-away storefront and a sit-down option. We opted to sit down and enjoy our dessert. I'm not gonna lie, we ended up loving it so much that we came three nights in a row. Each time we ordered something different and each time it was incredible. The service was always friendly and engaging, not to mention fast! I would say my favorite dessert that I tried was the macaron ice cream sandwich. You got to choose the flavor of your macaron as well as your flavor of ice cream. My favorite combination was the chocolate macaron with salted caramel ice cream. Do yourself a favor and come check Berthillon out for yourself. read more

Delicious! The caramel one was a big hit with our group! The chocolate was nothing to write home about. Friendly staff.

Went there for dinner and icecream and it was so expensive! $31 for chevre salad that was basic/my least favorite on this trip to Paris, $15.95 for an aperol spritz (also least fav on this trip, and $14.95 for 2 scoops of icecream for a whopping $62! Absolute ripoff. read more

The ice cream and toppings are phenomenal! The service at this simple establishment was warm and helpful. In a Paris trip filled with wonderful experiences, the treats at Berthillon were my two boys' favorite!!! read more

This is my favorite ice cream shop in Paris since they have interesting flavors that you probably cannot find anywhere else. I always come here before or after going to Notre Dame Cathedral since it's nearby. They do sell their ice cream at restaurants in the area as well but the shop has the most flavors. I usually get their fruit flavors (melon is amazing!) but decided to try something more for fall since I came in October. I like that their ice cream is creamy and not too sweet. I ordered a chestnut and rum ice cream cone. There were huge chunks of chestnut. Also, the rum flavor was subtle and more of an aftertaste. Service is always fast and friendly. I will definitely be back! read more

Stopped by Berthillon for some ice cream in Paris, and it was amazing. Wifey even wanted to buy more to go. Definitely lived up to the hype. A must-try if you're in the area! On another level ! read more

Good, but a little disappointing. I visited the shop nearly 10 years ago in the Spring and had the most amazing wild strawberry ice cream. This week I got to try it again, but it was not the same. First off, it was really more of a sorbet and the forest strawberries were frozen solid and bland. I also had some peach which was good, but not memorable. It was, however, nice to sit in the tea room and enjoy the treat in a relaxing setting. If I had time for a repeat visit, I would have enjoyed trying one of their sundaes. read more

Fun fact - we visited Paris and "went to Berthillion again", except that I had never been here before. It was great...the ice cream was wonderful. But my previous comment about hot chocolate was about another place in Paris read more

So delicious. Great ice cream/gelato. The flavors really taste like the actual thing. For example, the flavor melon tasted like biting into a cantaloupe. I tried a few flavors but Framboise (Rasberry) was my favorite. I give it a 10/10. From most to least favorite flavors: rasberry, peach, pear, melon (not a fan of cantaloupe), and citron verveine menthe aka lime, verbana and mint (usually like lemon/lime flavors but I didn't like the aftertaste). Definitely reccomend! So many of these shops in the area, but we chose the sit down location. read more

I was expecting a traditional ice cream shop, but was pleasantly surprised that it is a nice sit-down cafe where you can not only enjoy ice creams and sorbets, but also have a glass of wine. I liked my honey nougat ice cream and basil-lemon sorbet -- both are flavors that I have never had before. The scoops are on the small side, but I still enjoyed them. The staff were incredibly nice to us. Most of our group did not speak English, and the staff still accommodated us the best that they could. Now if I could just bring some of that ice cream back to the U.S... read more

Excellent sorbet for an extremely hot day in Paris. We walked around the Ile Saint-Louis after a visit to Sainte-Chapelle and the damaged Norte Dame. Apparently there were several establishments that carry Berthillon. The cream lemon, peach and pineapple basil were all excellent. But, the cream lemon stood out. I guess it was the fresh citrus flavor that cured the high 90s temperature. Recommend others to hop over from Ile de la Cite and give it a try. read more

Disappointed this time around as hubby wanted to get his Berthillon fix towards the end of our trip. We both received gelato that had ice crystals built into it. The gelato was not smooth whatsoever and it tasted like very old ice cream. Shame on Berthillon to serve such gelato. This is not what they're known for. read more

Ok how about this... haven't been to Berthillon since before there was yelp. But the ice cream is SO memorable (I can still taste my cassis and passion fruit cone) I send anyone I know who is going to Paris there to try it! Cannot wait until I have the chance myself again. read more

Still shockingly good ice cream! (Honestly the best that I have ever, had which is high praise from a fat lady who lives in WI) I stopped for a mid-afternoon cold treat break, and was greeted by the nicest staff ever. Know that the scoops are pretty small but when you have a taste you'll be in flavor heaven! I had a 2 scoop cone for €5, with fresh pear and raspberry rose as my picks. I am not kidding when I say that the concentration and depth of the flavors here are incredible. It was like eating the most perfect, fresh, juicy pear alongside perfectly ripe just slightly tart raspberries. They have a small salon to sit in, but why not take your cone and wander the beautiful Ile St Louis, or sit near the river? read more

The ice cream here is absolutely delicious and the location is also perfect - definitely worth a visit if you are in the area

The menu does not show which flavors are water based (sherbet) and which are cream based (glace). Better ask before they serve (all servers speak English). Unfortunately when I visited they were out of most flavors so go take a peak before standing in line for half an hour. Berthillon ice cream is sold at many other joints as well so no need to stand in line here. read more

Went there and they were closed. They had a sign on their door which of course, I couldn't read. A local said they were on vacation. Walked to a different location to taste their ice cream and it was delicious! A perfect treat while walking around the cute shops in a nice cobblestone lined neighborhood. Tried their salted caramel, pistachio and cookie butter flavors. read more

Really great flavors in a very smooth and creamy ice cream. It's worth seeking out and the hype.

Um, yeah. Pretty speechless. I don't use the term "next level" or "best" often. If there is better let me know, but this is serious stuff. Remarkable. After countless frozen treats in my many years, I've never had better. Not to be missed. If Michelin gave out stars for ice cream, I'd be interested in the results. read more
