The 7 Best Ice Cream Shops in Paris (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 7 picks

The best ice cream in Paris in 2026 is at Berthillon on the Île Saint-Louis, the city's classic; Une Glace à Paris in the Marais for pastry-chef creations; Raimo near the Bois de Vincennes, open since 1947; Bachir for Lebanese ice cream rolled in pistachios; and Pozzetto for Italian gelato in the Marais.

Paris takes ice cream seriously: sorbets made with just fruit and sugar, French ice creams rich with egg yolks, and Italian gelato served with a spatula. Order 'un cornet' (a cone) or 'un pot' (a cup) with one, two or three 'boules' (scoops). Some of the most famous shops close for part of the summer holidays, ironically, and several are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays — check before you cross town.
