Le Petit Deauville

Top choice in St-Barthélemy


The sublime, all-natural, fruit-based sorbets (such as pineapple, mango, guava and passion fruit) and rich, creamy ice creams (including roast chestnut, pistachio, chocolate and crème brûlée) handmade at this tiny takeout shop by maître glacier (master ice-cream maker) Yann Colin star on the menus of some of St-Barth's finest restaurants.

If you're sailing around the island, with 24 hours' notice a minimum of 4L can be delivered to your yacht anywhere in the harbor.
