 | Paris Bertillon Reviews | 11 - 18 of 18 |  |
Bertillon is in every guide book as the "must-have" ice cream of Paris. So even though we were exhausted and boiling hot, we tromped to the Ile St. Louis (wanted to visit there anyway) to stand in line.
But it's not worth it. It is no better than any storebought ice cream I've had in the States.
You can have it as a novelty, but don't go out of your way for it. We had MUCH better ice cream at Haagen Daz.

Possibly the best ice cream in the world (at least outside Italy). No Paris visit is complete for me unless I go there.
The cinnamon or rhubarb ice creams Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Rue Saint-Louis en l'Ile (nearest metro St Paul or Cité). The ice-cream can also be found in many cafés on Ile St Louis and around St Michel but their own café is much cheaper and has a lot more flavo

I'm talking about price & saving a few euros! Went to Paris in March of 2007 & we were told by our tour guide that the ONLY place to get authentic Berthillon ice cream, in the entire world, was on the Ile St. Louis, behind Notre Dame Cathedral. Of course, hearing a statement like that you'd immediately think "how melodramatic!" or "c'mon now!!" but it may just be true. Our guide, Mario, was quite sincere about such matters, so it was hard for us not to follow his advice. So, we went to the Ile St Louis to one of the 1st restaurants we found, La Lutetia, where we paid about 8E for 2 very small scoops (no more than 1/4 cup each) of Berthillon's famous.
Fast-forward to March '08 & we're back in France again, determined to return to the Ile St Louis & GET MORE BERTHILLON, MAN! This time we went to the Berthillon store & found that the portions were larger & the prices were cheaper! 4.20E gets you THREE scoops, compared to what we paid at the restaurant a yr before. Get there early in the day, by the end of the day they've sold out of many flavors. And the people that serve you are VERY nice folks!
I don't remember too well what flavors I had besides pistachio but I do remember that they were all incredible! If we'd had the time, I would've happily paid another 4.20E for another cup of 3 diff scoops!

I agree with the other poster, The ice cream here is nice but nothing to scream about. If you want great and I mean great ice cream then head to Rome. Nowhere on earth does ice cream better than the Italians. Theme: Ice CreamDirections: Ile St Louis Get off at metro Cité and walk past Notre-Dame to get to Ile St Louis.
