The 15 Best Breakfast Spots In Madrid - Madrid - The Infatuation

"Special occasion brunches call for The Palace, a historic hotel serving a luxurious breakfast buffet under a stained glass dome in an art deco-inspired space. The €45 per person brunch includes seasonal fruit, pastries, and sugary churros, plus delicately poached eggs, tortilla española, a salad bar, and an ample selection of Spanish cheeses. Don’t skip the ham station, where a trained jamón cutter—practicing an art form in Spain that requires study—slices acorn-fed Iberian ham right off the bone and onto your plate, before you head to your velvet chair to dine beside centuries-old tapestries and a glittering chandelier. The Opera & Brunch on Sundays from 1-4pm is for super special occasions—think milestone birthdays, jubilees, or wedding proposals, or when you want to eat to the sound of someone soaring effortlessly into falsetto. The €125 per person price tag gives you access to a raw bar and Champagne on arrival." - lori zaino
