One of the first questions I usually got asked when someone discovers that I write about brunch in Barcelona is the following: What is the best brunch in Barcelona? If this is not your first time reading my blog, I guess you have also asked yourself the same question some time. It’s also pretty common that my friends ask me for brunch recommendations with specific characteristics, for example a brunch to go as a big group or for a special occasion or a brunch to go with children.
Well, considering all these questions I thought it would be useful to write a post where I pick up the best Barcelona brunches that I’d personally recommend and also explain what I like about them and what they are ideal for.
I will keep this list “alive” because it will take me some time to select the recommended brunches among the more than 60 that I have tried so far in Barcelona. In addition, I will continue to add new brunches that I discover in the city, so, save this page among your favorites to keep it always on hand.
Also, if you would like me to write about certain brunch, do not hesitate to ask me, and if you want to tell us what your favorite brunch is, leave a comment at the bottom of this post telling us what you like about that specific brunch.
