Glacier des Prés, the artisanal ice cream shop of Brasserie des Prés

Adjacent to Brasserie des Prés, Saint-Germain-des-Prés' best address hidden away in a charming cobbled passageway, Glacier des Prés is the work of the La Nouvelle Garde group, also behind the Bellanger, Dubillot and Martin brasseries. It's a must for any stroll through Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

Driven by a desire to offer artisanal, homemade ice creams turbined on site, Glacier des Prés unveils a menu of traditionally flavored ice creams and sorbets, made with quality products that evolve with the seasons and the House's desires.

These include vanilla ice cream from Madagascar, Valhrona 70% chocolate ice cream from Ecuador, pistachio ice cream from Bronte, salted butter caramel ice cream and coffee ice cream. But Glacier des Prés also shows originality with a particularly delicate cherry yoghurt ice-cream and a Paris-Brest ice-cream that gets fans of the famous French dessert moving.

Glacier des Prés doesn't skimp on sorbet flavors either - at the moment, strawberry, blackcurrant, Sicilian lemon, passion fruit... And for even more naughtiness, you can add a topping (salted butter caramel, chocolate, red fruit coulis; +€0.50) and a variety of toppings (caramelized hazelnuts, pink pralines, crunchy raspberries, cocoa nougatine, vanilla chantilly; +€0.50).

Price: 4€ for a scoop in a cone or jar, 7€ for two scoops, 9€ for three scoops, to eat in or take away. While the Glacier des Prés and its pretty retro facade don't have a terrace per se, it's perfectly possible to set up shop on the adjoining terrace of the Brasserie des Prés.

Glacier des Prés also offers a selection of generous ice cream sundaes (10€/11€) to be eaten at the table, such as the gargantuan Coupe Chocolat Liégeois (3 scoops of chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate sauce and cocoa nibs), Coupe Café Liégeois or Coupe Paris-Brest.

And if you've still got a little room after all that ice cream, the Glacier des Prés also offers a short selection of cakes (cookie glacé, mi-cuit, cake of the moment; 5€-10€) to wolf down on the spot or during your stroll through the little streets of Saint-Germain-des-Prés!
