Brunch in Madrid timidly entered the menus of the locals, but soon won the hearts of people with an allergy to early mornings, fans of the breakfast or those who always want to be up to date in gastronomic matters.
At this point there are so many options for drinking 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.
1. Colon Terrace
This article demonstrates that there are as many types of brunch as there are restaurants that offer it. Terraza Colón, for example, includes a welcome cocktail, savory dishes (such as Iberian ham sandwich or shrimp tabbouleh) and sweets (such as fresh pastries or homemade yogurt). In the beverage section you can choose between a mimosa or a natural juice.
📍 Plaza de Colón (Salamanca)
💸 From 29,95 € on this plan.
2. Marieta
Marieta’s brunch has fourteen components, fourteen! This makes it one of the most copious brunches in Madrid, and you better go hungry because everything is delicious. If you leave anything behind, even just the crumbs, you will regret it.
📍 Paseo de la Castellana, 44 (Chamberí)
💸 25 € with this plan.
3. Oryen Café
Oryen Café is a specialty coffee shop where brunch is a must. It is located in front of the Retiro and offers traditional cuisine with natural products and artisanal elaborations. The chia bowl, porridge or granola bowl are the stars of the menu, although there are also classic pastries without sugar but with natural sweeteners such as tagatose.
📍 Calle de Alcalá, 107 (Salamanca)
💸 €€€€€
4. Sweden House
Casa Suecia’s restaurant has its own bakery, so you can imagine how delicious and freshly made their pastries are. As if that weren’t enough, they also make their own yogurt: could this be the most artisanal brunch in Madrid? Maybe. Go, order it and wash it down with a good cocktail, because a day is a day.
📍 Calle del Marqués de Casa Riera, 4 (Sol-Chueca)
💸 From 30€ with this plan.
5. Viva Burger
Probably, the best vegan brunch in Madrid. Or, at least, the most complete. Its menu offers a lot of everything (and everything delicious). To drink, energy shots, shakes, juices, smoothies, coffees and infusions. For lunch, cheese toasts plant-based, homemade vegan sobrassada or mushrooms; and cakes, sweets and bowls of yogurt or açai. A paradise for those vegans who, like any human being, love to brunch.
📍 Costanilla de San Andrés, 16 (La Latina)
💸 From 18, 50 € with this plan.
6. Irreverent
An open-air brunch at one of the terraces with the best atmosphere in Madrid. In its rooftop and enlivened by music, they offer the best option to enjoy a complete selection of sweet and savory dishes and cocktails to extend the evening. And, why not, accompany it with another vermouth.

💸 F rom 25€ per person this plan.
7. BiBo Madrid by Dani García
The great chef Dani García displays his love for travel in a 360º brunch, innovative and creative at BiBo Madrid, with proposals such as oxtail brioche, langoustines from Sánlucar and mortadella sandwich from Bologna.

💸 €€€€€
9. Zíngara
Its brunch is vegetarian and, undoubtedly, one of the most innovative and careful proposals of all Madrid. They define themselves as a “caravan of flavors” and they are right: their brunch is a journey. We start with a vegan yogurt bowl; continue with a chipá -a curious cheese bread with tomato sweet and sour- or a toast of coconut yogurt bread with toasted avocado and Verde tahini; and finish with a delicious halloumi sandwich that brings anyone back to life or a plate of shakshuka with a soft-boiled egg. All this accompanied by a Moroccan tea or a wonderful Prosecco-based cocktail, what more could you ask for?
📍 Plaza de las Salesas, 8 (Chueca)
💸 €€€€€
10. La Catorce
La Catorce is the former Osadía but is still a hot spot for weekend mornings in the capital.

📍 Gran Vía Street, 14 (Downtown)
💸 35€ with this plan.
11. NuBel’s brunch
NuBel’s brunch is one of the most attractive in Madrid and also because of its location -it is located in the same building as the Reina Sofia Museum- because they invite you to a glass of cava if you arrive before 11 am. The menu has two courses, the first with cold meats and fruit, designed for sharing and the second, as a main course to choose from options such as eggs Benedictine or pancakes with chocolate.
📍 Calle de Argumosa, 43 (Atocha)

12. 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 is 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 all 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.

📍 Calle de Vallehermoso, 52 (Chamberí).

16. The Toast
The Toast’s pancakes change any perspective: fluffy and delicious, impossible to give up, unless they give you a taste of the french toasts or any of the many toasts included in the brunch. You top it off with some eggs, an omelet and even a burrito and you leave the place clapping your hands with joy.

The English tradition of having a late breakfast at the weekend has replaced in many cases the traditional aperitif, but making the first meal of the day a banquet that can end with a cocktail has conquered us and is a most appetizing morning plan.
