Paris is
known for its classical ice cream shops, as well as a few Italian-style
gelaterias, but until a few years ago, there weren’t any young people forging
out on their own, churning up more contemporary flavors of ice cream
and sorbet for modern palates. Don’t get me wrong, I love glace au chocolat and
glace au
caramel beurre salé, but I’m no fuddy-duddy, and happy
lap up what the next generation of glaciers are doing in Paris, such as
Henri Guittet at Glaces
Glazed.
Henri
started off as a delivery-only service for his ice creams, which were
available by subscription, then expanded to a camion when les food trucks started
rolling around the city. (He has a vintage
HY Citroën
truck that I keep thinking would be fun to ride around with
him in, scooping ice cream across Paris together.) But now he has a
full-fledged shop on the lively rue de Martyrs, a street that’s become
a destination for food-lovers, with pastry shops, waffle makers, and
chocolatiers lining both sides of this historic street, that lead up to
Montmartre.
