No visit to the sea side would be complete without ice cream, which is why I was thrilled to discover Fennochio, an Italian-style gelateria in Nice.
The first thing that you notice is the sheer number of flavours. We counted about 80! Not to mention, there are flavours that I'm not sure I've ever seen outside of Italy before.
Fennochio likes to dabble in the more unusual flavours. We were feeling brave and tried the tomato and basil flavour. It is without a doubt the strangest thing that I have ever tasted. The flavour is spot-on, it tasted exactly like tomatoes! Paired with the cold creaminess of ice cream it was really strange, and I have to admit not to my taste. That said, I'm really impressed by their creativity!
Luckily, the more traditional flavours were absolutely delicious, the texture was perfectly creamy and we were given a cialda cone (yes, there are different types of ice cream cone, and yes it does make a difference!). All in all, it's the best ice cream that I've had outside of Italy.
