Barcelona is such an amazing city for enjoying brunch, and there are plenty of places to choose from, but from that exhaustive list, we selected the few ones that anyone visiting this city should try, at least once! Brunch is such a great concept for travelers, no one wants to wake up early morning and get out for breakfast, neither be hungry by mid-day when queuing to enter the Sagrada Familia, so here we go, these are our picks for enjoying a fantastic brunch in Barcelona:
UGOT ∼ enjoy the trendy Mediterranean lifestyle
Ugot is one place that you cannot miss to visit during your stay in Barcelona. The vintage decoration is remarkable, with outstanding finishes like the flamingo wallpaper. If you enjoy music, especially jazz
music, then you should go to Ugot.
Ugot is particularly known by locals because of its delicious cakes, afternoon tea, and craft beers. Yes! this is an eclectic mix, and it rocks. It’s hard to choose anything specific here because everything is amazing. If you love shakshuka, you should know that Ugot, is one of the very few Barcelona coffee places that serve this dish.

CAN DENDE ∼ where the wait for a table is definitely worth it
Good times come to those who wait and wait you will unless you come pretty early. Barcelona locals queue for brunch outside this little culinary spot, even during weekdays. An eclectic inside is a great place for sitting, but the terrace is more relaxed unless you tend to get distracted by the coolest and coolios of Barcelona awaiting to get their place for brunch and staring hungrily at your table. What to eat? anything, start with a cocktail

FLAX & KALE ∼ the perfect spot for when you want a side of elegance with your (healthy) brunch
Flax & Kale are known as one of the best places for a healthy brunch in Barcelona. Under the control of the superstar chef Teresa Carles, they offer gluten-free meals, and it’s most likely the best place to eat plant-based foods in Barcelona. Also, if you love to have juice for breakfast, you will find the best smoothies and fresh juice here, including cold-pressed juices.
So, what are some of the foods that you can eat in this place? Enjoy simple, but exquisitely made foods such as tomatoes and grilled tempeh, plant-based cheddar cheese, and whole wheat bagels with chia and flax. You can also have eggs Benedict, or juice such as the Green Medicine blend.

CARAVELLE ∼ one of the most popular brunch in Barcelona, for a good reason
Despite being on the local scene for few years only, Caravelle is already an institution when it comes to enjoying brunch, altogether with craft beer, literally crafted 3 meters away from you, and excellent coffee. The place has an airy space and is perfect for a leisurely meal with friends.
