Top 10 Brunches in Madrid

Top 10 Brunches in Madrid

Madrid might have a thriving Michelin restaurant scene, but the everyday eateries of the Spanish capital are also not to be missed — particularly the city’s brunch scene!

Madrilenians love a good brunch, and there are some cafes in the city they serve the cuisine all day long to cater to the high demand.

Similar to Paris, going for brunch in Madrid usually requires one to make a booking prior to arrival, or risk standing in long queues that wrap the block before a table can be prepared.
