Berthillon
It’s hard to walk a block on Île St-Louis without seeing a sign for Berthillon ice cream, or satisfied looking pedestrians nibbling on a cone. This ice cream shop, around since 1954, is a staple of the island, and reputed by some to be the best ice cream in Paris. The nougat miel (honey nougat) is especially delicious, with its little bits of toffee, and the fruit flavors are refreshing (cassis is great for those who like a little tang). If the main location is closed, just wander around the neighborhood a little and you’ll run into dozens of other cafes selling Berthillon ice cream (some cheaper than others, so look around).
