The 10 best ice cream salons in Nice

This is not a small, owner-managed ice cream parlour, but a franchise concept, although the taste, presentation and quality of the ingredients are certainly impressive. In addition to various ice creams and sorbets draped in roses, macarons are also on offer.

A fixture in Nice since 2006, its ice creams and sorbets made from the very best seasonal ingredients delight all generations. Maître Glacier Roberto is constantly creating new, exciting flavours with dedication: mojito, saffron-rose or almond-coconut.

Crêpes, waffles and homemade ice cream are served just a few minutes' walk from the Negresco. The bestseller is the Agua Limon with créponné: lemon water in which floats a lemon sorbet refined with egg white and orange blossom - an Algerian specialty.

Watch out, this is a big place, both in terms of scoop prices and ice cream flavours. Creations such as "Flower of Lebanon", "Divine" or "Mona Lisa" are probably not for purists, but those seeking decadence will get their money's worth.

There really is something for every taste here: from strawberry traditionalists to tomato avant-gardists. The selection of sometimes unusual, pure ice creams and sorbets is almost endless. Particularly exciting: olive, rose and liquorice.

The promise "made with love" is already in the name of this ice cream parlour with its small, fine selection. The sea is just a few steps away, so you can stroll along the Promenade des Anglais with a scoop of pistachio or gianduja in your hand.

In recent years, the ice cream parlour with its uncompromising quality standards has grown into a small family-run brand with outlets in Nice, Cannes, Châteauneuf-Grasse and Juan-les-Pins. Ice cream and sorbets - the best raw materials! - are excellent.

Louis Dubois has had an impressive career: pastry chef at the Ritz and Maison Fauchon in Paris, later head pastry chef at Sketch in London, Pierre Gagnaire's restaurant. The ingredients for tartlets, cakes, ice cream and sorbets are correspondingly exquisite.

Since 2005, the Crepaldi family has been dedicated to the creation and production of ice creams, cakes, sandwiches, sorbets and brioches filled with sorbet - in the Italian tradition, of course. On Fridays and Saturdays, you can indulge in sweet delights until 10 pm.

Ice cream for everyone and every day is the credo of Glacier Maurice and his team. Sorbets, milkshakes, ice creams, cakes and confectionery as well as homemade Italian cookies are available here at affordable prices. Maybe not top class, but good.
