The expert level brunch
They do not accept reservations and it is always full, especially on weekends. To say always is perhaps too resounding, if we take into account that Zenith Brunch & Cocktails opened on Valverde street in Madrid one month ago. However, these 30 days have been enough for him to become the brunch that will make you ignore your red lines, those that other times have prevented you from queuing to enter fashionable places and that, now, when what is at stake is an enjoyable feast, they do not exist.
It might seem like the wait has been forever, but his arrival in Madrid really hasn't been that much to be desired: two years since he began his adventure in Port and one since I did it in Lisbon .
Zenith Pancake
You have to grow with your head, but when what we talk about is trying place brunch on the same level as the rest of our daily meals , a good part of the work is done, at least the one related to conquering the stomachs and hearts of that legion of fans of succulent and combining sweet and salty at hours that apparently do not touch. May TripAdvisor place you among the 14 most instagrammable restaurants in the world , Also helps. Although here what matters to us is how what comes on the plate feels and not how it looks in the photos.
And sitting down feels great. As long as you overcome that first moment of indecision that appears when going through a letter that goes from pancakes to toast, passing through french toast, smoothies, salad bowls or nods to Portuguese dishes such as francesinha.
You can pass the drink, to rule out which dishes are yes and which dishes are not, while savoring some of their specialty coffees (the caramel one points out ways) or do the same with its orange juices, lemonade and detox.
If you are perennially indecisive, bet everything on a classic like they are eggs benedict poached on toasted bread, with avocado, chives and hollandaise sauce, which are close to perfection if you add extra happiness in the form of crispy bacon.
All to the bagel!
You can also dare to innovate a bit (come on, nothing happens) with your Zenith eggs: poached and breaded on water bread toast, crispy ham, avocado, cherry tomato, chives, crispy onion and hollandaise sauce.
open up to others cuisines of the world can also be an option by testing your chicken tapioca with cheddar cheese, avocado, dehydrated tomato, oregano and salad.
In addition, your letter has options gluten free and vegan. And what options. Their vegan toast with vegan cheese, mix of leaves, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, avocado, dehydrated tomato, oregano, strawberries and mango and pineapple chutney It is copious as well as light and very, very tasty.
The sweet moment paints on pancakes, like the fruit of the forest with strawberry coulis, blueberry compote and homemade vanilla ice cream; either the one with homemade dulce de leche with strawberries, homemade granola and vanilla ice cream. Don't let the 'dulce de leche' moment fool you because it won't be nearly as heavy as you're imagining.
In case it might seem that way to you, you can always reduce the heaviness with one of their cocktails. Because if the name of the place includes the word Cocktails, it is not simply because it looks good and looks nice. how about a Porto Zenith ? That is why getting closer, even in spirit, to its place of origin and enjoying with a White port wine, orange juice, mango and lemon and passion fruit.
