You could light a match with your tongue. Your breath releases ethanol in large quantities. The dizziness is cathedral. There is a guy dressed as Son Goku sleeping on your couch. Well nothing, another agonizing January 1st. Another January 1st chasing the dream of being a person again, while trying to remember who shaved your right eyebrow.
Fortunately, on the first day of the year, Barcelona deploys a major recovery brunch offensive so that the zombies become human again in a short period of time. One of the hot spots is called Tropic (Marquès de Barberà, / Balmes, 24), a veteran team that is distinguished by its colorful menu, full of nods to the gastronomy of the tropics. Arepas, tacos, pancakes, eggs rancheros, cachapas, ají de gallina… Very well prepared dishes, for traveling and appeasing the demons of a hangover. It is essential to wash down the intake with one of the fruit juices from the house.
Another holy brunch house is The Egg Lab (Sepúlveda, 80/ Bruc, 33), a brand specialized in recipes with eggs, which works with the best local products. He boasts that 100% of his preparations are homemade and I don’t disagree: It is one of the best brunches I have tried in Barcelona. The toasted avocado toast with kale, mushrooms, raclette cheese and poached egg is tremendous. Also the creamy yogurt and mascarpone with falafel, poached eggs and a spicy touch. And the pastrami sando. The pastel tones of the establishment and the specialty coffee will help you readjust to reality without any surprises.
