The best ice cream shops 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.

An address that will make all ice cream lovers melt with pleasure! The brand stands out for its artisanal ice creams and sorbets with 45 flavors! The recipe for success? Good fruits, sugar and quality milk. Try the Bubble Teas, the sweet or savory crepes, and the famous Soft Ice from Italy. The name "Glacier du Pin" is a double tribute to the eponymous square nearby and to the Antarctic glacier, threatened with extinction due to global warming. And the cherry on your ice cream? The owner is really nice!

Founded in 2005 in the Place du Palais de Justice, this ice cream parlour, which over the years has become Yes, Jelato, offers a range of ice cream flavours, each more delicious than the last.
