Gourmet products local specialties and wines Nice

THE iconic Maitre Glacier in Vieux Nice since 1966, a must for locals and tourists alike. Their workshop in the hills above Nice has preserved the traditional techniques of ice-cream making, using only the finest ingredients. The ice creams and sorbets on offer come in almost a hundred flavors, ranging from the more classic to the more regional, such as tomato basil, chard pie, violet and orange blossom. If you're a tourist, there's a second address on rue de la Poissonnerie, 5 minutes away.

The motto of the house: "Create, taste, share". This playful and friendly place honors the local produce of Nice as much for drinking as for eating because it is dedicated to the world of aperitifs. 4 distinct areas make up this establishment: the cellar (wines, spirits, rare beers...), the grocery store (antipasti, olives, breads...), the cheese shop (regional cheeses) and the delicatessen (Parma and Bayonne hams, sausages, verrine...). The store even offers cocktail and gourmet boxes, shakers, and everything you need for a successful aperitif!

Housed in a precious case reminiscent of a doll's house, this patisserie offers handcrafted local specialties: Niçois macaroons with almonds and fruit hearts, or with ganache and natural flavors, "Les Coquettes" flower candy pearls, chocolate sardines, crystallized flower brioche and candied fruit, not forgetting the surprising MaGlagla, a giant macaroon filled with ice cream... Just a few of the sweet treats you can carry under your arm. The orchestration is perfect, the expertise impeccable and the welcome charming.

The reputation of the Florian confectionery is well established: it has become an institution to the point that the establishment has become a museum of confectionery in the hinterland of Nice.

Take advantage of this opportunity to treat yourself! The workshop can be visited for free, except on weekends. A must-see.
