Favorite Dish: The renowned Berthillon ice cream they serve here is to die for. It's more expensive than other ice cream options in the area but well worth the price. My fiance and I paid 22 euros for our 2 ice cream bowls (about 2 large scoops, plenty of whipped cream, etc.)

I'd read about Bertillon's before I got to Paris. About how the queues would be soooo long, but the ice cream was absolutely delicious.
Well I didn't think I was going to get there at all with the busy itinerary our group had, despite us being there for 10 days. However, when I extended my stay by 3 days it enabled me to explore the lovely (understatement) Ile
St Louis and luckily enough I just stumbled on Berthillon. Lo and behold, no queues and a choice of tables pour moi! Great stuff!
Favorite Dish: Can't remember what I had here, but I know it had my favourite framboise (raspberry) in it somewhere. It was delicious indeed!!!!! There's only one other place I've tasted anything to compare and that's Cafe 2000 in Rozelle (inner suburb of Sydney). Tony handmakes his own gelato from the freshest ingredients and they are the best I've had in Sydney so to compare it to Bertillon is high praise indeed.

Address: Cheaper & better than coffee on Champs Elysee!
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.
Favorite Dish: The cinnamon or rhubarb ice creams
