What people say

"I recently had a fantastic solo brunch at Melrose Café Barcelona, and I couldn’t wait to share my experience! From the moment i walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and cozy, making it the perfect setting for a leisurely brunch. One of the highlights of my visit was the attentive staff. After i placed my order, my server informed me that my meals would be ready in about main course would take about 20 minutes to make. It was great to have that heads-up, especially since i was enjoying some delicious drinks while waited. I appreciated that they were upfront about the wait time, and it made the anticipation even more exciting. When my food arrived, it was clear that the wait had been worthwhile! I ordered the Fluffy pancake mango amor with bacon and smoked salmon, and it was absolutely delectable the mango puree sauce was rich and flavourful. I couldn’t stop raving about how tasty it was! The beverage selection was equally impressive! I indulged in their signature Lever du soleil ( sunrise) mimosas, and it was the perfect way to complement my meal. I highly recommend Melrose Café for anyone looking for a delicious brunch. With their delectable menu, wonderful atmosphere, and transparent communication about wait times, it’s definitely worth a visit. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their enticing menu!"
