Fenocchio

World-class gelaterie in the heart of the old town
Noteworthy for: The sheer choice of creative flavours such as salted butter caramel, chewing-gum and spiced chocolate keeps faithful customers coming back time after time.

Word to the wise: There are several other parlours around Place Rosetti with similarly delicious offerings. Try Gelati Azzurro on 1 Rue Sainte-Reparate.
If Willy Wonka was able to dedicate his entire career to the production of ice cream, it's quite possible that Fenocchio would be the fruit of his labours. This Niçois institution serves up almost 100 varieties of ice cream and sorbet, with a list of flavours that reads like a sugar-fuelled child's Christmas list.

Expect to tuck into a tub of Ferrero Rocher or rice pudding ice cream before moving in for a cheeky lick of your travelling companion's tomato and basil sorbet cone. If the busy Place Rosetti outlet is swamped, try the other Vieux Nice outpost at 6 Rue de la Poissonnerie.
