Brunch. Everyone’s favorite meal, combining sweet and savory comfort food and often a cheeky cocktail.
The term Brunch was coined in Britain in 1895 to describe a Sunday meal for “Saturday-night carousers” … of which there are of course many in Barcelona. While not a Spanish tradition, the city has a thriving brunch scene to satisfy every taste. (Pictured above: Pancakes at Exotica Brunch in Eixample.)
