Bertillon: Berthillon and the Crazy Monkey
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: Berthillon

    I’ve never, ever liked ice cream, but I would walk across hot coals to get half a spoonful of this stuff. It’s sold in a couple of other places around the city, but they always seem to be out of it, or they don’t have the right flavors or something. I think Berthillon does that just to keep everyone coming here. With flavors like café au whiskey (wonder how old you have to be to order that one), this place is in a class by itself. The café is fairly moderately priced, so it’s a nice choice for lunch. It’s on the Ile St-Louis, so you can take your ice cream and stroll past that fantastic accordion player who plays on the pont St-Louis, but stay away from that monkey he schleps everywhere—the monkey is a hostile lunatic. I guess I would be, too if I had to listen to “Autumn Leaves” as many times a day as he does.

    Favorite Dish: Absolutely any flavor ice cream.

    Cafe de la Bastille: Better than hot chocolate
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: Cafe de la Bastille

    OK, the café isn’t really that exciting, but the people-watching is great, and if you have tickets to the Bastille Opera, this is a great place for an after-dinner night cap. It will also put you right near rue de la Roquette, which is a fun shopping street with lots of cute little no-name boutiques. None of this really matters, though—what matters, is the vanille chaud they serve. Yes, I said, VANILLE chaud, not chocolat chaud. This hot vanilla is so incredible, that I’ve literally sat outside on a frigid day when no inside table was available just to have one. It’s even better if you drop the two, yes, two sugar cubes in.

    Favorite Dish: Vanille Chaud

    Laduree: Parisian Classic
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: Laduree

    Ladurée has become much more commercial in recent years and therefore very touristy, but it’s still a quintessential Parisian place and one of those places that everyone has their own stories about—here’s mine: On a very, very rainy day, my family and I ducked into the one in the Madeline area, just to re-group and let the rain pass. As we were sitting there a woman came in who looked like a Toulouse-Lautrec character—bright red shirt, perfect posture, very interesting face—had to have been a dancer at some point. She looked like she was waiting for a date who just never showed up. Long after the skies cleared we were there putting together her story. We couldn’t get ourselves to leave until after she did.

    Favorite Dish: Macaroons

     I really loved this little page as it sounds romantic and fun to visit... maybe one day I may get there. Does the Vanille Chaud taste similar to a Cream brulee? I love Cream brulee.
