If there is one trend that is favourite with food lovers all over Spain, especially on weekends, then that is brunch. Many restaurants and hotels have added brunch, which is of British origin and very popular in North America, to their culinary offer.
Brunch is breakfast and lunch combined into one (hence the contraction of the two words), and it usually takes place between 10.00 and 16.00. Brunch often consists of a varied buffet, that includes both savoury and sweet dishes, and sometimes it is simple when at other times it can be more extensive.
Today, this article by ShMadrid will focus on the best places to have brunch in the capital, as brunch is ideal for every sweet tooth and most demanding foodie.
