Most hotels in Barcelona don’t serve breakfast, which gave us a perfect reason to look for a good brunch to start our day with. Write to yourself these two places down for the next time you visit Barcelona and desire an unusual brunch.
We had our first brunch at the Brunch & Cake café. There are five different branches around the city, three of them serving only coffee and cakes, and the other two offer a diverse delighting brunch.
We ate in the main chain near the marine of Barcelona. All the dishes are wonderfully colorful. The menu is marked, showing if anything contains eggs/dairy/vegan/vegetarian/gluten/nuts/soy, etc…
So what did we eat??
We ordered a dish of scrambled egg in a fresh bagel with avocado slices on top, served on a spread of chickpeas with nuts. Perfect dish! It cost 10.45 euros.
The second dish was made out of toast from olive dough-bread, topped with olive oil, shed tomato and avocado spread with additional avocado slices and fried halloumi cheese. You can ask for additional smoked salmon or a poached egg. The dish is amazing! It costs 8.70 euros. Additional halloumi cheese costs 2.70 euros and smoked salmon costs 3.50 euros.
Because we enjoyed our brunch so much and saw the wonderful dished served to the tables near us, we came back after a few days to try two additional dishes, which turned out spectacular.
One was of a butter-croissant filled with scrambled egg with tones of parmesan cheese and fried mushrooms.
Generally, this dish is served with bacon, because I don’t eat bacon I asked for a dish without. The price is 10.50 euros.
The menu is so rich and full of goodies, that I am certain that I will return next time I am in Barcelona to try more delights. By the way, the desserts look amazing, but unfortunately, I was too full to try them.
Another place we visited for breakfast is called Farggi and is located in the gothic quarter. The place started its way as a sorbet-ice cream factory in 1957, but it opened since many cafés around the city, which serve breakfast/lunch in addition to the ice-creams. You can watch the making process and get tempted by the smell when entering the café.
