Une Glace à Paris

June-July is prime ice cream time

Can one ever have too much ice cream?

I for one, believe in ice cream all-year round.

At last there's a fabulous new ice cream boutique that feels as I do.
They have been open just 1 week.

Une Glace à Paris

15, rue Sainte-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie 75004

Métro: Hôtel de Ville

Open Monday-Sunday 10 - 23h

In the Marais

RUN, do not walk to No# 15 rue Sainte-Croix de la Bretonnerie

Preferably in your Bensimons

Like my partner-in-crime, visiting New Yorkaise Stephanie R.

Chef Emmanuel Ryon, Meilleur Oivrier de France(MOF), formerly of Café Pouchkine is the magician-in-residence.

His boutique is 'sobre', a word meaning quiet elegance when the French use it.

Still we were all madly drunk with Chef Ryon's divine ice creams no matter the elegant decor.

A rapt, captive audience, we waited our turn, salivating. Miam miam

We plum forgot to study the menu, so caught up in the massive decision-making process.

And we totally missed the wonderful deal of a threesome of different Vanillas or chocolates going for a song. By the way, the shop is generous with tastes. I asked for a vanilla taste and was offered all 3! This is unheard of in Paris.

Later we dropped our spoons when we saw 5-flavors banquettes (boats) come sailing by.

Not that we didn't love our double dips of Griotte (cherry) + Matcha for Stephanie, and smoked pistachio with a touch of orange + Medovic (a Russian flavor with honey cake flakes) for me.

Granted we wished we'd gone all the way with the barquettes. A la prochaine!

Une Glace à Paris is a glorious experience you mustn't miss if you love ice cream. It's absolutely the BEST I've tasted here = Heavenly.
PS Please say Paris Breakfasts sent me!!

Chef Ryon introduced himself. He will soon have fabulous ice cream gateaux.
I've been painting ice cream non-stop since Thursday - a distraction to keep from running back for a glace for breakfast.

It's the next best thing to being here.
