Brunch is a newer arrival to Granada, where breakfast has long meant a coffee and a tostada rather than a long late-morning table. A handful of central rooms now run the format properly, from La Cueva de 1900 and Cafe Baraka in Centro to Cafe 4 Gatos up in the Albayzin. Minuit Pan y Cafe over in San Anton folds its bakery counter into the same idea.
