The ice cream shop became famous in 1961 when a French restaurant guide Gault Millau wrote about "this astonishing ice cream shop hidden in a bistro on the Ile Saint-Louis."^[2] They are known for using fresh and high quality ingredients ^[3] and keep the recipe of their sorbet (i.e. the proportion of milk and egg) secret. ^[4]

Raymond Berthillon, founder of Berthillon, died on 9 August 2014.^{[5] [6]}
