Over at edlevineeats, Ed asked, "Who's Your Favorite Restaurant Critic?"
http://edlevineeats.seriouseats.com/2006/10/win-dinner-with-me-and-a-famou.html
The contest garnered many entries, and the prize was dinner with Ed and Jeff Steingarten. Did anyone win? Were there too few entries?
Mine was freshly scooped. In fact, in my photos, you can see a scooped-out well behind several of the troughs containing prepared scoops.
The shop is Fenocchio, with two locations in Nice, France.
I see from the Web site that they sell honey and pine-nut, maple syrup and pecan, milk jam (dulce de leche), and violet, and panettone.

The only vegetable flavor I had was tourte de blettes, which was very good.
I also tried bergamot -- the citrus fruit that's used to flavor Earl Grey tea.
Coquelicot (the 't' is hard to see) is poppy. Romarin is rosemary.
At this same stand, I had swiss chard tart ice cream (tourte des blettes), and they also sold lavendar, jasmine, beer, calisson d'Aix (a type of cookie), lychee, rhubarb, guava, yogurt, and at least 10 kinds of chocolate (Ferraro Rocher, Nutella, and so on).
You were right the first time, I think.
The Times of London calls it a "Belgian-based chain."

As I recall, they served something called "Tom Cheese" in France in the mid-'90s. And it wasn't a turkey burger.
Le Quick even has outdoor dining in Aix-en-Provence:
I didn't know Quick was Belgian! I've seen them all over France.
It says it's three times more irresistible with
(1) three thick slices of Emmenthal
(2) three hamburger patties
and (3) its creamy Emmenthal sauce.
It's from Quick, a French hamburger chain. It's not a prepackaged frozen burger; their take-out boxes just look fancier than ours.

bergamot? yum.
though i freely admit that as a gelato-worshipping italian, the pre-scooped little balls wig me out.

Reminds of an ice cream shop I used to visit when I lived in Sendai, Japan. My favorite flavor was spinach, but carrot and of course tofu and green tea were just as popular back then.
@fleurdesel, were the vegetable and herb flavors delicious? Poppy might also be good! What a dazzling array of flavors. I'd love to be able to try them all.
I like The Spot's monogrammed burger in San Diego. Not the very best burger, but tasty and monogrammed, too!
It looks like those 3 shaped fries are really 3 shaped cheese sticks. Oh la la. They have fish shaped fish nuggets!
Hold on there a second babalooie, I'm not so fast to recommend Quick.
I've had a few of their cheesy concoctions over the years (visiting Paris and Antwerpen) and I find the rolls often dry to sandy, and the cheeses not much better than a special from Burger King.
Fast food can be done better - frankly, if you're in Belgium, you should be eating in a decent cafe for nearly the same price, and enjoying the experience (and the tiny belgian chocolates with your coffee)...
