San Sebastian is home to some of the best food in the world, and that still rings true with the rising brunch trend.

Keep in mind that San Sebastian is quite a small city, so it’s not overly saturated with trendy brunch spots like larger urban destinations in Spain such as Madrid and Barcelona. However, while the selection may be small, rest assured that these spots are top quality\u2014they kind of have to be if they want to stand out in such a famous foodie city, after all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Madame<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
La Madame<\/a>‘s innovative American-style menu\u2014complete with plenty of European influence\u2014has made it a hotspot among locals and visitors alike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Saturdays and Sundays, they pay tribute to their gastronomic inspiration by offering a hearty brunch menu that would look right at home in the States. Brunch classics like huevos rancheros and French toast stand alongside Spanish favorites such as crispy churros<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Narru<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
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. 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.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, their menu features several incredible options every brunch fan will love. From a deconstructed tortilla de patatas <\/em>topped with jam\u00f3n<\/em> to rich, delicious torrijas <\/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>\n\n\n\n

Ambigu Estaci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Don’t miss this lovely little cafe in the shadow of Mercado de la Bretxa<\/a>. Ambigu Estaci\u00f3n<\/a> may be small, but offers plenty of variety in terms of both traditional and modern, local and international dishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quirky decoration and laid back vibe make this spot a unique place to enjoy some of the best breakfast<\/a> and brunch in San Sebastian.

$\"Sometimes$
You can never go wrong with a classic coffee and toast!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
MQC Cafe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A true local spot serving artisan pastries and one of the best <\/a>tortillas <\/a><\/em>in San Sebastian<\/a>, MQC Cafe<\/a> 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>\n\n\n\n
From the moment you walk in, you’ll immediately feel at home. Their incredibly friendly staff will be more than happy to recommend one of their homemade cakes and pastries (it can be hard to choose!). If you stop by later in the day, they also offer a fabulous wine selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Old Town Coffee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Opened by two Brazilian friends with a shared passion for incredible 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, 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>\n\n\n\n
$\"Avocado$ Perfect avocado-egg toast.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Le Comidare<\/h3>\n\n\n\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, it’s home to the best bagels in the city and an incredible Sunday brunch.
