Probably the best ice cream shop in Nice, Papilla and its incredible ice creams make tourists and locals melt. The selection may be smaller than other ice cream shops in Vieux-Nice but the ice creams are far better quality with 4* service to boot!

Try out their zingy homemade lemonade, ideal for cooling off when the temperature soars in summer in Nice.

 

These 100% artisan ice creams are best eaten on the Promenade des Anglais facing the sea! Indulge your sweet tooth during your stay at the Best Western Plus Hôtel Masséna Nice and discover our best places to eat pizza in Nice.
