In good weather … Rocambolesc!
Discover the ingenious ice cream of Jordi Roca
We present Rocambolesco, Jordi Roca’s ice cream project, one of the most recognized pastry chefs Worldwide. Together with his brothers, Joan Roca and Josep Roca, he runs the restaurant El Celler de Can Roca (Girona), which has three Michelin stars. With Rocambolesc, he intends to recover the traditional dessert cart.
This draft Jordi Roca beside Alejandra Rivas was born in 2012 with the opening of its first store in Girona. After three years, they opened a fourth establishment on Calle Serrano in Madrid. Inside it, there is a replica of the ice cream cart-counter existing in its “mother house” in Girona. In addition, it also has an area of high tables with stools, ideal to enjoy these delicious ice creams.
The delicious ice creams of Rocambolesc
The ice cream menu consists of six flavors, panettone, vanilla, chocolate, yogurt, baked apple y carrot sorbet (carrot, orange and apricot). Each of them has a recommendation of toppings to consume, but the customer is the one who has the last word to choose 3 or more different toppings.
Between these toppings we can find: pistachio bambolas, banana bambolas, grated coconut, brownie, among other different accompaniments for ice creams.
As for the different formats in which the ice creams are presented, in Rocambolesc they bet on different sizes of waffle cone and in small or large tub.
As a curious fact, each of the ice creams represents a dessert that has been Jordi en The cellar, “It is not an exact representation, but a version for the store as a fun dessert.”
En Rocambolesc we can also find other appetizing products, such as Panet. It is a “hot ice cream” filled with brioche and sealed in a special sandwich maker.
In addition to this Panet, we can also enjoy the different stick ice creams. Made in different and attractive ways, the highlight of these ice creams are their varied and surprising names, such as lioness ass (Girona apple and bergamot sorbet), the strawberry tree bear (bush plum and peach sorbet), hand (blood orange and mango sorbet) and rocky (strawberry sorbet with rose water).
