At Berthillon, there are tourists with good taste and then there are the insider track Parisiennes.
While the pretty Japanese girls and the romantics queue up to bite into a delicious customized cones with a scoop of vanilla, raspberry or coffee flavored ice creams, Parisiennes are bustling for another reason.
Because Berthillon is the snooty and darling ally or overbooked gals since forever.
Pretty girls just like their grandmothers of Passy or Saint Germain, come stock up on ice cream. A magic wand to serve up a chic dessert when you have last minute guests...
The real flavors of the Parisienne ? No frills: vanilla, coffee, chocolate. Sherbets: baby strawberries in June, marvelous thyme-lemon or the cherry plum mirabelle in September. And don’t forget the gavotte mini crepes. Yummy.
We love the anecdote ! Just imagine that the house manages to close every month of August. A divine snub to tourists, just when it’s very hot …
When are you going? Wednesday to Sunday from 10am to 8pm.
