Paral·lelo Gelato is one of the city's undisputed benchmarks for artisanal ice cream. Starting out in the heart of Gràcia, the project has won unanimous acclaim from critics and crowds alike thanks to a radical philosophy: total control of the process from scratch. The team personally selects every nut, roasting and refining them in their own workshop to guarantee a purity of flavor that is second to none. This commitment to in-house production allows them to deliver high-definition textures and surprisingly velvety creaminess, both in their traditional dairy-based recipes and their celebrated line of vegan sorbets and dairy-free options.
The menu is strictly seasonal, with raw ingredients sourced from local producers at their peak ripeness. This translates into high-impact flavors like the Jardín Mediterráneo—a powerhouse herb combo of basil, mint, and thyme—or more creative creations like Fuji apple with tonka bean. From classic cups and cones to more playful formats like gelato tapas and milkshakes, every single choice reflects a genuine commitment to locally sourced ingredients. Whether through seasonal fruits or boundary-pushing creations, Paral·lelo elevates the simple, everyday act of eating ice cream into a top-tier culinary experience right by the sea.
