Grillo — Restaurant in Granada

Hands down the best gelato we had in Granada. We googled for gelaterias with vegan options in Granada and were puzzled that Grillo didn’t pop up in the list. We found this gem as we randomly walked pass and were attracted by their colorful yet natural looking display of gelato. Plus, their 5 stars google ratings poster was quite eye catching! All their fruit choices are vegan, and also their dark chocolate and extra dark chocolate choices. We ordered one litter box of fruits del bosque, passion fruit, melon and extra dark chocolate. The chocolate was so rich, bitter and sweet but, surprisingly, we found their fruit gelato just as rich in flavor. Right after, we had to go for a second 1/2 litter box of melon and banana. Then came again a week later for a litter box of lemon, melon and chocolate. Melon was our favorite! Definitely...

I judge all chocolate gelato against what I believe is the world standard: the super dark version by Prague’s Cream & Dream (which we call Dream & Cream), which should win the Nobel Prize for gelato and be recognized by UNESCO. Grenada’s Grillo offers a serious competitor in its Chocolate Extranegro. Thick, dark, rich, creamy, not too sweet, and chocolaty on steroids. I was surprised to learn that it’s vegan, and I still liked it, but I don’t think they use real vegans in the recipe. They may have other good flavors, but I only have eyes for chocolate.

Oh me oh my!! This gelato is AH-MAZING. The cute Italian server (who is also the OWNER) and his father in the back making this gift to the world - love at first sight as far as I'm concerned. The place is adorable and the picture of a true locally owned business. The owners put their heart and soul into this gelateria, y se nota. The gelato is definitely the best you'll find in Granada (and I'm no tourist, I live here people) and I'll be darned if I find another cone of EXTRA DARK CHOCOLATE and true Italian pistachio that equals that of Grillo.
