When in Barcelona, do as the locals do and enjoy an extended meal experience! Catalans spend heaps of time at the meal table and are especially known for their hours-long lunches. As the popularity of the Sunday brunch tradition enters the region from other parts of the world, locals have started to embrace the laid-back breakfast/lunch meal, as well! Enjoy brunch at the following Barcelona hotspots.

The fusion menu
There are a few hidden places that offer the best of local-meets-internation cuisine. One such spot is Caravelle on Carrer Pintor Fortuny where everything is homemade. The British-American owner couple has created the perfect fusion dishes like toasted muesli, fruits, and berries, or opt for the Moroccan-style baked eggs and avocado. There are also the goodies for those who have a sweet tooth with fresh strawberries and ice cream.

The international blend
Milk Bar & Bistro is the first brunch spot in Barcelona introduced by the Irish couple running it. The place offers the ¨Recovery Brunch¨ which comprises dishes like eggs, pancakes, and bananas, as well as a veggie tortilla with cheese. The sun-dried tomatoes with scallions and the arugula are also part of the veg brunch. Wash it all down with a vodka-laced Bloody Marys.

The healthy choice
Flax & Kale in El Raval is yet another brunch spot with urban chic décor. The freshly made juices are a prime attraction. There are bagels made of whole grains, flax, and chia as well as grilled tempeh with tomatoes that grace the healthy menu. Eggs Benedict is served on homemade bread, and marinated salmon with fresh poached eggs is served alongside roasted fennel.

The sunny option
Brunch & Cake in the Eixample neighborhood overlooks the sunny terrace making it a perfect locale to brunch out a sunny morning. There are healthy options like the quinoa salad or the porridge with fruits and yogurt. Sample the bagels with scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, and bacon, and pour on the truffle syrup to top the lovely French toast.

The Italian flavor
Finally the Bicioci Bike Café on Carrer de Venus is an Italian-run place that serves toast and cream cheese, and smoked sardines with avocado. ¡Salut!
