About us

Gelarto Rosa is an independent chain of artisanal ice cream stores in the heart of Budapest. We are a taste of tradition, intimacy, and romance in the glorious Szent István Square. Our ice-cream is hand-made on the premises, from the finest organic ingredients, using traditional (artisanal) Italian ice-cream making techniques, and shaped by our skilled staff into our artistic rose shape.

Our chain includes Gelarto Bistro, our gourmet deli companion, and international Gelarto Rosa franchises, with the first one now open in Doha, Qatar.

ABOUT THE ICE-CREAM ROSE

Our flavours are limited only by our imagination. We are always innovating to offer you more and more exotic and unusual flavours, alongside traditional flavours, to delight your taste buds. 

Our gelatos and sorbets are made exclusively from natural ingredients of the highest quality, imported mainly from Italy or sourced from local suppliers. We use exotic ingredients such as Alphonso mango, Bronte pistachios, and vanilla from Réunion Island, alongside fresh milk and cream, and delicious seasonal fruits to create the best ice cream possible.

GIVE IN TO TEMPTATION!

About Gelarto Bistro and Bara Süle

Introducing Barbara “Bara” Süle, creator of the wonderful Bara Süt cakes and desserts.
Bara is now the master pâtissière at Gelarto Bistro, the light eating sister store to our famous Gelarto Rosa ice cream parlour. Bara brings the same quality and passion which Gelarto Rosa has been delighting ice cream lovers with for over a decade to her exclusive recipes for Gelarto Bistro.
We use the finest ingredients to create an exciting and mouth-watering delicious gastronomic experience, in our ice cream, our light eating dishes, and our desserts. We use fresh local seasonal fruit, and the best ingredients from around the world, including Italian almond flour, Piemont hazelnuts, Alphonso mangos, Bronte pistachios, and vanilla from Réunion Island.

SUNDAES

Our ice-cream sundaes are especially for ice-cream connoisseurs and aficionados. We garnish our sundaes with fresh fruit, Belgian dark chocolate decorations, and locally-baked sesame or almond brittle sticks.

Drinks

We love Italian coffee. Our strong Maromas coffee roasted in the Italian style goes very well with our cakes and desserts. Our coffee contains 100% Arabica beans, and is made by our very experienced barista. Coffee is available to eat-in or take-away. If you have a sweet tooth, we recommend one of our delicious Callebaut hot chocolate variations.
