--- Quick notes ---

I can't help but say a few things. If you are in a hurry, please go to the checklist, I won't keep you. :)

--> Since Toni Pons is a Spanish espadrille brand, I recommend you take a look at the models. It has many stores in Barcelona.

--> It is true that it is the city where I saw the most handsome people together.

--> "La flor de Barcelona" is a famous figure. You will also see it in the stones on the ground.

Milk Bar & Bistro

Yum & Yum and a little extra YUM!!! 

I went there with my girlies and we ordered these three dishes for the table:

1. Mediterranean toast
2. The Vegan Vegano
3. Turkish Eggs 

Despite eggs appearing throughout the menu, they were easily omitted upon request. A side of fresh orange juice perfectly complemented our meal.

Milk is one of Barcelona's most famous brunch spots, located in the Gothic Quarter. It’s known for its extensive breakfast menu, including eggs Benedict, pancakes, and smoothies. The cozy atmosphere and generous portions make it a great way to fuel up for the day.

This place is supposed to be an AWESOME brunch spot too.  But don't skip it for dinner we LOVED all of the tapas we had and we tried almost everything! Wine was great, service was so kind and welcoming!  I have only good things to say about this spot!  

My favorite brunch in Barcelona. You know it's good when they have five different benedicts. I think my favorite dish was actually the chorizo hash – a bowl of potatoes, spicy sausage, spinach, cheese and a poached egg. 

I can say that it is the Swiss army knife of the culinary world. Because both their tapas, cocktails and breakfast are very good. The employees are also very sweet. I think give this place a try, you won't regret it. 

A wide variety of brunch options for the entire family. Recommend making a reservation.
