Rocambolesc

La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


Step into the fantastical, candy-striped world of the multi-award-winning Roca brothers for Spain's most daringly divine ice cream, from rhubarb confit ice cream topped by flamed meringue to mandarin sorbet with a dusting of passionfruit flakes. The decor is inspired by the dessert trolley at Girona's world-renowned restaurant El Celler de Can Roca.
