The junction between Alcalá street and Sevilla street is one of the corners that most breathes the great European city of Madrid. Partly thanks to the reforms that were made in these streets for the opening of the Canalejas Gallery, and partly thanks to what houses this shopping center of luxury brands.
The epitome of glamour is in the balance between the first floor where Hermés is located and the rooftop with Dani Brasserie. The award-winning Dani Garcia signs the kitchen of this restaurant that fits perfectly into the spirit of a five-star hotel like the Four Season and on Sundays serves the most expensive brunch in the capital.
Brunch at Dani Brasserie
The feast includes an open bar of seafood, oysters, Iberian ham and very privileged views over the city center. The Danis Sunday Brunch is organized in stations: a corner of freshly baked breads with premium oils, cheese and Iberian cured meats, dairy products and toppings (yogurts, granolas and homemade compotes), salads, smoked meats and a raw bar with seafood of the day, oysters and ceviches, all with live show cooking.
In addition to this self-service area, there is a menu of hot dishes that can be ordered at the table, including pancakes, eggs Benedict with Iberian ham or with nori salmon and caviar, scrambled eggs, mortadella bikini, pressed croissant with Iberian ham and comté, the famous Rossini Burger or Dani’s Club Sandwich.
But much of the grace of this brunch, is not only in the sum of open bar and menu that includes the price, but in the dishes of the day that are offered. If your stomach allows it, the pumpkin risotto or the sirloin Wellington can be an extra with the exquisiteness of a main course.
There are three set-price menu options: Alcalá (125 €), which includes a buffet, a selection of à la carte dishes and soft drinks; Sevilla (155 €), which adds white and red house wine, manzanilla and Healthy Sips, their own version of mimosa; and Dani (220 €), the most complete, with all the above plus classic cocktails (Negroni, Paloma, Bloody Mary) and Champagne Ruinart, always with water, coffee and soft drinks included.
In the concept of brunch (a combination of breakfast and lunch), the calm of a Sunday of rest and self-indulgence is taken for granted, and precisely this menu is designed to extend the after-dinner conversation as much as possible and forget for a moment the deuterophobia.
