A La Frégate — Restaurant in Paris

I heart Ice Cream, Sorbet & Gelato, and this is the best I have ever had. Better than in Florence, better than anywhere. There, I said it. I'm a believer.

Nuts and Bolts: Go to the actual Berthillon if you can (brown wood exterior), the one at 31 Rue St Louis. The prices are actually cheaper than if you go to one of the surrounding places that sell Berthillon. Note that it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and plan accordingly.

We tried the following flavors, and none disappointed: Chocolate, Coconut, Cappuccino, Strawberry, Wild Strawberry, Vanilla, Tiramisu, Peach, Banana and Melon. The Ice Cream flavors such as Chocolate, Tiramisu and Cappuccino are very rich, and I would highly suggest paring them with one of the fruit sorbets such as Strawberry, Wild Strawberry, Peach or Melon. Wonderful combos that really should be tried.

Imagine, walking along the Rue St Louis down towards Notre Dame with amazing ice cream, enjoying Paris the way it should be....

A warm welcome on arrival. And we were seated at a table in the window. (Some very loud Americans then also arrived - and all night you could hear their running commentary - funny how some people love to be heard.)

Menu's only in French, however the chef spoke excellent English and assisted in understanding. We had foie gras to start which was very tasty and served with fresh bread (expensive at 28euro for the size). And for main course my husband had a steak and I had the tuna. Both dishes were okay but after two fabulous meals (A Petit Bistrot and Les Filles - both in Rue Mouffetard) at half the price, we really found A la Fregate disappointing and expensive for what you had. The wine list started at +50euro...

Celebrated a wedding anniversary with a wonderful meal at a La fregate. The host was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu and attentive to our needs without being intrusive. I am often cautious with prix fixe menus but the was not the case here. Interesting selections and those that we sampled were fantastic. Salmon appetizer and sea bass with chorizo main course were both fantastic. The grand marnier soufflé was exceptional. I highly recommend...
