Mostassa: simply delicious brunch
Mostassa is a great place to (re)discover the joys of eating local, with a varied range of breakfast and brunch options on offer every day of the week.
For around €15, choose one of the tasty main dishes along with a hot drink or a glass of fresh juice.
The menu features such delights as Eggs Benedict, brought in directly from Girona, with a choice of salmon, spinach or bacon; pancakes; or one of a range of American-style sandwiches and lighter salads.
Better still, Mostassa is open every day from 9am – 4.30pm (10am at the weekends) – so there are plenty of chances to visit!
Our favourites include:
- the Pastrami sandwich, packed with enough meat to put its New York cousins to shame (€8.50)
- the eggs (scrambled, fried or omelette) with rustic potatoes and organic bread, served with a choice of bacon or salmon (€8-€11)
- the banana or berry pancakes (€7.50) and the selection of home-made cakes
Mostassa: something new every week!
The fixed lunch menu at Mostassa changes every week, but it’s always great value for money! For around €10, you’ll get a starter, main course and dessert (or coffee) – a fabulous treat that won’t break the bank. If you prefer to order off the menu, note that all of the brunch options are available until 4.30pm: perfect for an afternoon snack.
One of the best things about Mostassa is the way it has something for everyone. Fan of the classics? Go for a burger, or the patatas bravas. More adventurous? There’s plenty on offer for you, too…
