1. GROM: one of the best ice creams shops in Paris (2nd, 5th & 6th)
In our opinion, GROM is the best ice cream shop in Paris. Launched in Turin in 2003 and quickly found their way to Paris. Their credo: “Il gelato come una volta” (Ice cream as before). And we totally agree! From the first bite we recognize the delicious and honest taste of homemade ice cream. The portions are more than generous, the service as warm as in Italy. They have a wide choice of flavours, both for ice cream and sorbet. You absolutely must have tasted the pistachio.
