Very interesting and informative article. All of these places sound/look great. It would be nice to have an article featuring lower priced places too.
We tried to stick to the average price in the city! Brunch is still a very up and coming thing here in Madrid and is a bit of an “extra luxury” kind of thing! Hopefully the more popular it gets the more the prices will go down!
I find Cripeka to be very reasonably priced! Great avocado toast options though the servings are on the smaller side. Hope this helped 🙂
