Folderol

Tucked away on a quiet street in Paris’s vibrant 11th arrondissement, Folderol offers something you didn’t know you needed: the perfect marriage of artisanal ice cream and natural wine. This intimate spot sits just steps from its sister restaurant, the Japanese-inspired Le Rigmarole, and has quickly become a neighborhood favorite since opening in 2021.

The concept is delightfully simple but executed beautifully. Flavors are scrawled on a mirror behind the horseshoe-shaped bar, featuring creative combinations like strawberry shortcake and sesame brownie. Each scoop pairs surprisingly well with glasses of pét-nat and other natural wines sourced from small, independent producers. It’s the kind of place that makes you wonder why more establishments haven’t thought to combine these two pleasures.

For those seeking something savory, there’s olive oil-soaked focaccia to nibble on between sips and spoonfuls. The atmosphere is casual and convivial, perfect for a late afternoon treat or a sweet nightcap after dinner. The space has become so beloved (and so photographed) that a “NO TikTok” sign now greets visitors at the door.

Whether you’re a wine enthusiast looking for something playful or an ice cream lover seeking a grown-up twist on dessert, Folderol delivers an experience that feels quintessentially Parisian in its simplicity and charm.
