Restaurant: Fenocchio Glacier

'Fenocchio was recommended to us by a French couple and it is probably the most popular ice cream shop in Nice. They are a family-run business serving over 90 flavors of ice creams and sorbets, from the must-have favorites such as chocolate and coffee to interesting flavors like thyme, rosemary, vanilla and pepper, rose, olive, Coca-Cola, and lavender. I really loved eating the tomato basil ice cream while strolling the city at night.'
