Dining well in a restaurant is a pleasure, but enjoying a good breakfast is a privilege. It’s not always possible to sit quietly in one of the best caf\u00e9s in Barcelona<\/a>, in front of a coffee with a hot croissant, eggs, a ham sandwich or whatever you fancy. So, if you have the chance to go out for breakfast, you can’t miss it! It\u2019s the most important meal of the day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Lugaris<\/strong>, we’re experts at recommending the best places in Barcelona. However, on this occasion we don’t want to talk about hotels or historic sites, but rather we’re just going to tell you about the best places to have breakfast in Barcelon<\/strong>a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typical breakfasts in Barcelona<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The concept of a “typical breakfast in Barcelona” is not very clear, as Barcelona is so cosmopolitan that it has taken a bit of the gastronomy of each culture and integrated it into its restaurants. However, you can still find the typical caf\u00e9s in the streets, where they serve typical Barcelona breakfasts. We present them to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gelida<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Would you dare to eat a good pork cheek at 9 o’clock in the morning? The Catalans call this the typical “esmorzar de forquilla a Barcelona”, i.e. breakfast with a fork.  Gelida is a long-established establishment that has a good part of its 40-course menu up and running by as early as 7AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, you can try some of the most typical and intense breakfasts of the region, such as capipota, fricand\u00f3, tinned cod, etc. Without a doubt, you have to try it at least once in your life! Of course, when you’ve finished breakfast, you’ll be ready to go back to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Nena<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another typical breakfast in Barcelona, which can’t be missing in our list, is churros with chocolate<\/strong>. When the cold weather approaches, this is one of the best options to warm up in the morning. With this sugar-packed breakfast, you’ll be full of energy all day long, but a day is a day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Nena is an old caf\u00e9 converted into one of the best places to have chocolate and churros in Barcelona<\/a>. One of the best Sunday plans is to sit at a table with friends, choose one of the board games on the premises and enjoy the company while you fill your stomach. It also has an exclusive area for children to play freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granja Viader\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another place we love for breakfast is Granja Viader, located very close to Les Rambles, at number 4, Carrer Xucl\u00e1. This establishment opened in 1870 as a dairy, but over time they began to produce other dairy products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fun-fact that we would like you to discover is that in 1931, the formula for the Cacaolat cocoa milk (which is to this day very popular in Catalonia) was created here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order different types of breakfasts, ranging from sausage with bread and tomato, A \u201csu\u00eds\u201d (hot chocolate with whipped cream) with melindros or churros, crema catalana, butter toast, cream, yoghurts, cheeses. Remember that all the dairy products are homemade<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bodega Can Ros<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re in the Gr\u00e0cia neighbourhood, don’t miss Bodega Can Ros, one of the best places to have breakfast in Barcelona. This is a little gem that stands out for its sandwiches, which are among the best in the city. Another of its star dishes is the boquerons en vinagre <\/em>(anchovies in vinegar). Dare you have toast with anchovies in the morning?
At Bodega Can Ros they do something magical: they manage to turn great stews into sandwiches. So, if you’re going for the first time, we recommend you order the meatball sandwich<\/strong>, and let us know what you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Can Vilar\u00f3<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We couldn\u2019t end this list with a restaurant that opens early in the morning to offer one of the most typical breakfasts in Barcelona. Can Vilar\u00f3 es a homey , down-to earth establishment right in front of the Sant Antoni market, ehre you will be able to eat among many locals. Warm savory dishes, following the esmorzar de forquilla<\/em> tradition (which is regaining popularity), will delight your palate with local flavors and a true experience. If you want a taste of the real Barcelona first thing in the morning, this is the place to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sampaka Cocoa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have already talked about the classic chocolate breakfast with churros, so now we come back to the subject to bring you a much more gourmet experience. Cacao Sampaka is a modern place specialised in cocoa, where you will find more than 100 different types of chocolate<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as a caf\u00e9, it is also a shop, so you can try the cocoa you like the most and take it home to continue with this sweet experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of their most popular chocolates are chocolate with extra-crispy puffed corn, combined with spices or aromatic herbs<\/strong>, caramel, 100%, 70% or 50% cocoa, with flavours or with milk, etc. You can also accompany the varied range of hot chocolates with a wide selection of pastries, including croissants and churros – everything is delicious in this little breakfast paradise in Barcelona!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a good breakfast is not incompatible with taking care of your body. Not all breakfasts offer pastries, fatty savory dishes, plenty of chocolate and sugar, but in Barcelona you can also find charming places that offer healthy breakfasts. Do you want to know about the places where you can find dishes with more flavour and fewer calories?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little Fern Caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Little Fern Caf\u00e9 is one of the best places for brunch in Poblenou<\/a> and is well worth a visit if you’re nearby.
