Walking the canals and relaxing by one is a great way to enjoy the relaxed Parisian lifestyle. After a great meal at L’Avant Comptoir, I continued my journey to the Notre Dame Cathedral. Needless to say I was not convinced that the many hours of long queue to see the iconic church from the inside was worth my time. So after quickly snapping a few photos from the outside, I was off to pick up a cone from the famous Berthillon Ice Creamery kiosk.
This amazing ice cream shop has been operation for tens of years and rightfully so considering the amazing ice creams they make. While I have been saying a lot of the word “ice cream”, their specialty is actually the amazing sorbet they make.
I could not resist getting two scoops that afternoon. The scoop on top was the passionfruit sorbet while the bottom one was a ripe berry sorbet. Both flavours packed some serious fruit flavours. Like Anthony Bourdain puts it, biting into a Berthillon sorbet feels as though you are biting into the frozen fruit itself. That statement I find very accurate as the fruity flavours were really intense!
Several of my friends opted for the chocolate ones and thought that it was only “OK”, so it really depends on what you like I believe. But go with the sorbet and you should do just ok! So remember if you are in the Île Saint-Louis area, definitely come-by Berthillon for a scoop of amazing sorbet!
