HIGHXTAR Weekends | What to do in Madrid

One more week, from the HIGHXTAR team we are in charge of collecting the best plans to enjoy the weekend to the fullest. For all those without ideas… pay attention, here are our weekly recommendations.

FRIDAY 1 APRIL

We’re kicking off the weekend in the most special way possible: by getting our groove on at La Discoteca. The night will be hosted by @lil_clart and @miquibrightside along with the ChaChá Soundsystem. The perfect hosts for all those who want to ensure fun and good music.

SATURDAY 2 April

Our cultural proposal this week is at the Lorenzo Vaquero Exhibition Hall. The exhibition “Everything will be pronounced. Dialogues between art and literature” reflects on the relationship between literature and the plastic arts. These relations must be understood as the problem of the “representation” of reality faced by creators, where painting and words have never been independent compartments. Visitors to this exhibition will be able to enjoy the work of the great masters of the 20th century (such as Picasso, Dalí and Chagall) and discover or expand their knowledge of fundamental artists such as Federico Castellón, Angelina Beloff and Gabriel Belot, in the context of the relationship between the plastic arts and literature.

sunday 3 april

And what better Sunday plan than a good brunch in the capital? Some time ago we prepared a selection of the best places in Madrid where you can enjoy the best delicacies. Don’t you think it’s suggestive?

Zenith

Brunch all day, every day! That is their motto. If you like pancakes, this is your place. Zenith prepares the best ones in town. In addition, its wide and varied menu offers from the most delicious and fruity smoothies, to french toast or poached Benedict eggs on water toast.

Delicious, isn’t it? Accompany any of these dishes with a good coffee and enjoy the experience to the full.

NuBel, fill yourself with art

The most artistic brunch in Madrid. Located in the vicinity of the Reina Sofia Museum, Nubel offers a great selection of appetizing dishes. The most complicated part is choosing what to drink. The options range from salmon and avocado to eggs Benedict, scrambled or poached.

You can accompany all these options with a good coffee or a glass of wine while you enjoy this pleasant space designed to please even the most demanding.

Café Comercial, a classic

As they say, classics never go out of fashion. This is the case with this typical bar located in the heart of the capital. The Café Comercial is back with more strength than ever after its reopening, including in its menu not only lunches, snacks and dinners, but also brunches.

The menu is created by the chef Pepe Roch and includes from French pastries, to yogurt with muesli or more elaborate dishes such as burrata with tomato, cheeseburger or pancakes. Add a nice cup of coffee or tea to complete your brunch. If you prefer, you can order a bottle of champagne. We leave it up to you.

La Bicicleta Cycling Cafe & Workplace

Lost in the streets of Malasaña? Let yourself fall into la Bicicleta. You will love its aesthetics and its soft lighting. Ideal for resting and regaining strength.

In addition to its extensive menu of food, its prepared drinks stand out. 100% recommended is its chai latte with cinnamon accompanied by a delicious cinnamon roll. Also choose between its two brunch options: Classic Brunch Specials and Super Breakfast, for the more daring. The latter includes juice, coffee and dessert.

Café del Nuncio, castizo

Do you prefer a traditional breakfast? This is your place. Located in the Latina neighbourhood, this restaurant offers among its varied options the best churros with chocolate, homemade pastries and natural juices.

Its menu goes beyond that. If you prefer you can order one of their lentil dishes accompanied by a glass of red wine. You have no excuse to stop by Café del Nuncio.
