Gelateria La Palau
Great vegan options €
Steps from the Palau de la Música, this Italian-style gelateria packs a genuinely wide vegan lineup, the Fondente Nero is deeply chocolatey and the Mango Alphonso tastes like the fruit itself, not a approximation of it.
What to order
- 1 Fondente Nero gelato
- 2 Mango Alphonso gelato
- 3 Maracuja/Passione gelato
Insider tip
The fruit-based gelatos are naturally vegan and tend to be where the kitchen really shines, skip the nut flavours (one reviewer nearly broke a tooth on a pistachio shell) and go straight for the tropical or berry options. If you want something portable, the no-added-sugar fruit ice lollies are an underrated pick.
The area
The Barri Gòtic is the historic heart, all narrow stone lanes and hidden plazas, busy with visitors but quietly hiding real gems between the landmarks.
