San Sebastian is home to some of the best food in the world<\/strong>, and that’s also true for brunch. While brunch isn’t an age-old Basque tradition, San Sebastian’s reputation for innovative cuisine<\/strong> naturally lends itself to embracing this trendy mid-morning meal.<\/p>\r\n

And so we’re here today to talk about the best options for brunch in San Sebastian. While the selection may be small<\/strong>, rest assured that the spots are top quality<\/strong> and loved by locals and tourists alike.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fantastic spots for brunch in San Sebastian<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

La Madame<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

La Madame<\/a>‘s innovative American-style menu<\/strong>\u2014complete with plenty of European influence\u2014has made it a hotspot among locals and visitors alike. On the weekends they offer a hearty brunch menu filled with classics like huevos rancheros<\/em>, French toast, and some Spanish favorites like churros<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It’s one of the best and most popular brunch spots in the city, so be sure to reserve.<\/p>\r\n

\"Huevos

You don’t need to be a guest at the beachfront Hotel Niza to enjoy Narru<\/a>, the lovely onsite bar and restaurant that’s home to some of the best brunch in San Sebastian.<\/strong> In fact, they don’t advertise themselves as a brunch spot and likely won’t know what you’re talking about if you go in and ask about “brunch.”<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, their menu features several incredible options every brunch fan will love. From a deconstructed\u00a0tortilla de patatas\u00a0<\/em>topped with jam\u00f3n<\/em> to rich, delicious\u00a0torrijas\u00a0<\/em>(Spain’s answer to French toast), everything here follows the simple Basque culinary secret of using simple, local ingredients to create amazing dishes.<\/p>\r\n

Yellow Deli<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The laid back vibe at Yellow Deli<\/a> makes this spot a great place to have breakfast (or other meals, too) in San Sebastian. From egg dishes to toasts, to more simple things like muffins, smoothies, and yogurt bowls, you’ll find lots of the classics here.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

MQC Cafe<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A true local spot serving artisan pastries and one of the best\u00a0<\/a>tortillas\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/strong>in San Sebastian<\/strong><\/a>, MQC Cafe<\/a> (Foru Pasealekua, 1<\/em>) is a must for brunch fans who want to get off the beaten path. It’s tucked away just on the edge of the Old Town where few tourists wander.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From the moment you walk in, you’ll immediately feel at home. Their friendly staff will be more than happy to recommend one of their homemade cakes and pastries. If you stop by later in the day, they also offer a fabulous wine selection.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Old Town Coffee<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Opened by two Brazilian friends with a shared passion for great coffee, Old Town Coffee<\/a> isn’t just a great place to try locally roasted specialty caf\u00e9s<\/em> (though those are great, too). They also serve up some incredible brunch options<\/strong>, including our favorite avocado toast in town. It’s a pretty small space, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in flavor and atmosphere ten times over.<\/p>\r\n

Le Comidare<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Scandinavian-inspired Le Comidare<\/a> fits right in with the trendy vibe in Gros just across the bridge from the Old Town. Serving local products with an international touch<\/strong>, it’s home to the best bagels in the city and an incredible Sunday brunch. Just be sure to call ahead and book as it gets pretty crowded.<\/p>\r\n
