18 years ago, I read in The Le Petit Fute guidebook that Bertillon is the best ice cream in Paris. I'm not sure that Berthillon is the best in Paris and even more so in the world (Italian Gelateria is incomparable). However, every time I visit Paris, I buy ice cream at Berthillon, either here on Saint-Louis or at their other cafe on the Rive Droite. The secret of Raymond Berthillon's brainchild, discovered back in 1954, is simple. No chemicals, dyes, sweeteners and other nasty things starting with the capital letter E. Fresh natural products are the basis of success of all masters of French cuisine from Paul Bocuse to Berthillon.

Would definitely recommend!…

You can visit the birthplace of this reknown ice cream on the Island of St Louis in the heart of Paris. Here you will not only enjoy the ice cream, but also the atmosphere of this island.

Berthillon is not a hidden gem, discovering it is not something difficult - this place is probably included in every guidebook and is one of the most popular ice cream shops, but it is definitely worth the hype! Everything we tried was so creamy and rich in flavour. Pistaccio flavour was simply out of this world and the sorbets (my wife tried a scoop of mango and pear) were amazing. You will have to wait to order (we waited about 20 minutes), but you won't regret it. Even if the queue is very big, it is recommended to take away rather than seat, as there is a big difference in price.…
