Costs a fair amount (5 euro for a two scoop cone), usually a queue, ... And I'm sure that scoop gets smaller by the year... But we all keep coming back for the pleasure of such good ice cream in what remains one of the worlds most remarkable spots. Currently favour the pear and dark chocolate combo.

One of the first places we walked over to in Paris on our first day. Absolutely delicious. Worth staying on line for it, it goes fast, and we talked to people the whole time.

One of the first places to which I head when I'm in Paris is the flagship Bertillon on the rue St-Louis-en-l'Ile. This is simply the best ice cream in Paris and maybe the best ice cream ever. I stick to the plainer favors in a take-out double cone--the idea of basil ice cream somehow doesn't do it for me. The... More

Great flavours - so many to chose from. They have a take away and a sit down restaurant next door to each other. Also do macaroons, tartes and other pastries. I had the salted butter caramel as one scoop and the blackberry as the other, worked really well as the flavours are so true. More sorbet than ice cream -... More

I'm certainly an ice-cream fan and always seeking for the best ice-cream! Mind you, it was actually really cold in Paris that day but nothing could stop me. haha The ice-cream was really good. All of us ordered different kinds of ice-cream desserts. They came with waffles and macaroons. Simply amazing

We waited in line for a quite a while to get this ice cream, and it was...good. Nothing amazing. I've had better at a few little boutique ice cream shops in SF. If there isn't a line, it's worth a shot, but I'm not sure if I'd wait again. (And there appears to be outlets all along the area that... More

It was truly amazing and the person that attended us was exceedingly nice. Can't wait to go back to Paris and have this again.

We went to Berthillon with high expectations based on what we had read. However, we found the ice cream fairly good rather than exceptional and portions were small for the price. It was certainly no better than that we have tried from other ice cream shops in France or Italy.
