I've said it before and I'm likely to say it again; Paris is full of wonderful food, which is why I keep writing about it. Here are a few more additions to the must-eat list.
When in Paris, you must also eat at...
Amorino - Twelve locations in Paris
It can probably be said that Amorino is a poor man's Berthillon, but the Italian-style sorbet shop serves fabulous frozen desserts nonetheless. If you have a serious sweet tooth, go for l'inimitabile, a mysterious chocolate blend not found in other shops. My personal favourite, however, is a combination of mango alphonso and limone di Sorrento. There are no scoops of ice cream at Amorino. Order a cone and it will be crowned with a blooming flower of icy wonder.
Maison Berthillon - 29-31, rue Saint-Louis-en-l'île (M) Pont-Marie
Open since 1954, this Parisian establishment makes its own all-natural ice cream and sorbet on-site, the same way they did when the business started more than fifty years ago. Unusual flavours like almond milk, blood orange and café dauphinoix keep patrons coming back for more. Berthillon is also probably one of few places where frozen yule logs are readily available. The shop closes for a portion of the winter, so don't delay- visit as soon as you can. You do not want to miss this ice cream. You may even want to leave yourself time to go back for more.
Patissier/Boulanger/Confiserie - corner of avenue Trudaine at rue Turgot (M) Anvers
If you happen to be taking a stroll in the Montmartre area, stop in at this non-descript little shop. It doesn't have an actual name other than the one listed above, but you'll know it by smell alone. The scent of fresh baked cookies and pastry is constantly wafting out through its vents. Don't try to stay away. It's impossible. Deciding what you want once you're inside with your nose pressed to the glass display cases is even more of a challenge.
As always, suggestions and recommendations are welcome!
