The brunch in Madrid entered timidly to the menus of the locals, but soon won the hearts of people with allergies to early mornings, breakfast fanatics, or those who always want to be the latest in gastronomic matters.
At this point there are so many options to drink it that it is normal that when we look for one we find ourselves with some disappointment. Life is too short to have a bad time and, above all, to eat badly, so prepare your taste buds and write down our suggestions for brunch in Madrid.

6. NuBel’s brunch
The brunch at NuBel is one of the most attractive brunches in Madrid also because of its location – it is located in the same building as the Reina Sofia Museum – because you can also add a cocktail. The menu has two courses, the first with cold meats and fruit, designed to share, and the second, as a main course to choose from options such as eggs benedictine or pancakes with chocolate.
📍Location: calle de Argumosa, 43 (Atocha)

7. Hard Rock Hotel Madrid
There is no other brunch in the city that offers what the Hard Rock Hotel Madrid offers. For starters, a restaurant that’s shaped like the inside of a Spanish guitar; to continue, a brunch that comes in a guitar case. The length of the menu makes it a late breakfast that automatically becomes a unique meal: Iberian ham, smoked salmon, napolitanas, croissants, Manchego cheese, fruit, yogurt and to top it off tequeños, two bagels, poke, eggs Benedict, eggs to taste or arepitas. Anything else? Yes, open bar of orange juice and the best music playing in the background.
📍Location:ronda de Atocha, 17 (Atocha)
💸 €€€€€
8. Adorado Bar
The Argentinian spirit of Adorado Bar, so cozy and beautiful, is materialized in an arsenal of homemade pastries to drool over. There is no shortage of dulce de leche, homemade jam and Nutella and other savory options just as appetizing as their breakfast sandwich. It earns extra points because brunch is served all day and every day.

7. Nomade Café
Cynthia is a French nomad from a hotel family who runs Nomade Café, a worthy successor of the now defunct Infinito, where she serves a French-style brunch, hearty and homemade . The quality-price ratio shines with its own light through a delicious toast with poached egg, avocado and halloumi cheese. The feast is completed with coffee, juice, granola and a Bordeaux cannelé (halfway between flan and torrija) that can be replaced by banana bread or other biscuits.
📍Location: Calle de los Tres Peces, 22 (Lavapiés).

16. Watts Cantina
Pancakes, specialty coffee and wine. At Watts there is no specific menu for brunch, but on Saturday and Sunday mornings the line at the door warns you that this is one of the best places to have a late breakfast in Madrid. There are also sandwiches with sourdough bread, tacos and burritos, but it is the more American version of pancakes -with butter, bacon or eggs- that have led them to success.
📍Location: Calle de Don Pedro, 4 (Downtown).
💸 €€€€€
The English tradition of having breakfast late and a lot at the weekend has replaced in many cases the traditional appetizer, but making the first meal of the day a feast that can end with a cocktail has conquered us and is a most appetizing morning plan.
