Gelato Collection

perfumery-inspired author gelato flavors from chef Albert Adrià's collaboration

Gelato Collection is a premium ice cream shop located on La Rambla in Barcelona. The shop offers four distinct families of ice cream: traditional flavors (vanilla, chocolate, pistachio), seasonal varieties featuring fresh fruits and herbs, signature author creations with unique ingredient combinations, and adult-oriented options incorporating alcohol and cocktail inspirations. Their approach is inspired by perfumery, with flavors developed from a gustatory perspective and organized in a numbered recipe collection that grows regularly. Gelato Collection opened in August 2024.

Gelato Collection at 136 La Rambla is a high-end gelateria — a collaboration involving acclaimed chef Albert Adrià, pastry chef Alfredo Machado, and Torrons Vicens, with interiors by Barcelona's El Equipo Creativo. The concept reimagines gelato as a perfume-like sensory experience, with a numbered, ever-growing recipe collection spanning traditional, seasonal, author/signature, and alcohol-inspired adult flavors. Reviewers single out inventive flavors like green mango curry, black truffle, passion fruit with mint, raspberry lychee, pistachio, caramel, and coffee, praising the creamy texture and quality ingredients. It's considered pricey (around €12) but highly recommended, with friendly service noted. Opened August 2024.
