Barcelona has an absolute abundance of delightful Brunch Spots, almost too many to choose from. So here’s a curated list of all the unmissable spots.
Milk
Milk Bar & Bistro is famous for the best brunch in Barcelona, with a varied menu that has a little something for everyone. They also have a selection of Brunch cocktails starting from only 3€, and with that in mind… Did someone say boozy brunch?
Their dinner menu is also absolutely delicious, especially the drunken prawns.
Carrer d’en Gignàs, 21, 08002
Marmalade
Marmalade is the new bigger sister of ‘Milk Bar and Bistro’, and the brunch menu is almost the same, but the setting is rather different. There are 4 different beautifully designed seating areas and has a 1950’s Havana or New York edge. With availability to seat over 100 guests for a seated meal, there is a little more space than milk which only has around 10 tables.
Carrer de la Riera Alta, 4, 6, 08001
Firebug
Firebug is the last of the Milk and Marmalade brunch bistro family, so of course, it is just as delightful. Start your day with Morning Glory – but not the uncomfortable kind… the kind smothered in forest fruits, syrup and cinnamon. Their chef recommended dish Morning Glory is mouthwatering deluxe french toast and in my opinion, it’s unbeatable. Start the morning as you mean to go on.
Passeig de Sant Joan, 23, 08010
Billy Brunch
Billy Brunch serves all-day breakfast, every day, and is one of the most popular places to go in the city, and it is well-deserving of its reputation. The extensive menu ranges from healthy bowls to huge stacks of dreamy American-style pancakes, not to forget a great full English brekkie. You must – no matter what you get – have a side of bacon, because it’s crunchy and streaky and absolutely PERFECT. Be prepared to wait, especially on the weekend, there’s almost always a queue!
Carrer de Bailèn, 115, 08009
Anita Flow
Anita Flow is the place for anyone who has a Pure Foodie Attitude. They offer delicious toasts topped with chicken and avo, egg dishes, sweet pancakes and more lunch style dishes for those of you who prefer it. Keep in mind however that they only serve Brunch on Saturdays, Sundays & holidays, but if you’re dying to go, their normal menu is yummy too (especially the whole roast chicken).
Carrer del Consell de Cent, 413, 08009
El Árbol
El Árbol is a little oasis of a restaurant, with hanging chairs, greenery walls and big oak tables. There’s a pretty good variety of dishes including healthy bagels and scrambled eggs with whatever sides tickle your fancy, and the portion sizes are huge, so you’ll definitely leave satisfied. And if you can squeeze one in the cakes are absolutely scrumptious!
Passeig de Sant Joan, 33, 08010
Eat My Trip Brunch & Bakery

Wholesome comfort food when you need a little TLC. Pancakes, waffles and french toast with a variety of sweet and savoury delicious toppings, and grilled sandwiches to start your day right. For something a little lighter, they also have granolas, and biscuits fresh from the oven.

As you may have guessed from the name, here you can get great juice, and sit in comfy hammocks. The menu is full of vegetarian options, and healthy flavourful plates, with all juices made fresh to order.
Carrer de Mallorca, 308, 08037
Granja Petitbo
Granja Petitbo, is a trendy and very popular brunch spot, both for locals and visitors. The restaurant is cool and the food is rich and fresh. It’s often busy so you may have to wait to secure a table, which can be frustrating when you’re hungry, but it can never be a bad sign!
Passeig de Sant Joan, 82, 08009
Green & Berry
Green & Berry is a vegan restaurant with fresh cold-pressed juices and a wholesome healthy menu. My go-to is always the Rio or the Rainbow Açai bowl, with tropical fruits and granola, for a refreshing but fulfilling start to the day.
Carrer d’Enric Granados, 153, 08008
Oma Bistro
Oma Bistro is where hipsters and food lovers unite, over Matcha coffee, unbelievable french toast and craft beer. The restaurant itself is charming and welcoming, and the food is simply to die for.
