Sweet treats

Fruttini (16th Arr)

GOODS & SERVICES • FOUND Shop

The Skinny: Opened in January, the second location of Fruttini brings its creative trompe l’oeil sorbets to the Right Bank, just a few steps from the Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysées.

The Vibe: A jewel box of a space welcomes guests to comfortably linger on soft dark green and white banquettes lining green marble tables. It’s an upscale shop with prices to match the chic space.

The Food: Visually stunning, these elevated “fruit givrés,” (sorbet-filled fruits) are meant to evoke the owners’ childhood treats of the 1980s. The magic is in choosing the best fruit available, harvesting their pulp and blending it only with mineral water and organic sugar, re-creating the original shape of the fruit, and filling them with mind-blowing sorbet. Irresistible.

Lemons and limes, clementines and kumquats, lychee and passion fruit, apples and pears, plus mango, pineapple, big cacao pods, and small dates are staples. Seasonal fruits like nectarines and plums and apricots make appearances, too, at the height of their ripeness.

The Verdict: A little larger than its other location (and with a bathroom), the Right Bank Fruittini delivers unique, high-quality frozen sweet treats for all seasons. –Andra Zeppelin
