Top 10 Places For Breakfast In Les Corts, Barcelona
For breakfast in Barcelona, you can chose between salty (sandwiches) and sweet (pastries), but eggs, bacon and/or jam are MIA. In that sense, Les Corts, being a traditional neighborhood, will give you the perfect opportunity to start the day differently.
Centre Cívic Can Deu
Bar, Restaurant, Spanish
Can Deu is the neighborhood’s community center and the main place of interest for its beautiful modernist architecture.

In addition, there is a terrace with a fountain where you can relax.
Sandviĉo
This corner offers quite a variety of sandwiches, as you may have guessed. Besides its neat and modern look, Sandviĉo is worth a stop for both its beef and chicken with mushrooms sandwiches. On top of it all, there are two types of bread (olives or seeds) for gourmets’ further pleasure.
Family Room Café
This cozy little cafeteria is quite hard to find, yet extremely close to Plaça de la Concòrdia. It’s recommended that you go on a Saturday, so you can take your time tasting their cakes.

Family Room Café is also the perfect spot for kids who have a cute corner for themselves.
El Cafè de les Paraules
Cafe, Pastries

Tardor amb caliu

Also, this café is open every day and from very early in the morning, in case you want to start your day by being extra productive.

This option is great if you feel like treating yourself on Sunday since it is open every day of the week.
Flaires del cafè
Coffee Shop, Tea
Flaires del cafèmay not catch your attention, but it is a tidy and cute little place.

Seniors and workers frequent the place, which is ideal if you tend to avoid trendy bars.
Quaranta
Cafe, Italian
This café stands out from other bars on the street due to its black and modern style reminiscent of a designer loft. But do not be fooled, Quaranta is an Italian coffee shop and a delicatessen. Stop by to enjoy a strong espresso on the terrace or inside, and be tempted by the pasta and wine displayed on the counter.
La trufa
If you like homemade quality food, stop looking because La trufa is everything you could want.

While the interior design isn’t anything too fancy or modern, the terrace is great.
Desitjos
This is the kind of place that will please everyone. Besides the charming environment and friendly service, the coffee and juices are excellent. You have vegan options and free wifi, and pets are welcome too. Desitjos is a hidden gem for artsy customers that believe in the cultural influence of bars and restaurants.
