Ugot, Mediterranean brunch restaurant and cafe in Eixample Esquerre, Barcelona, Spain.
Ugot is a brunch restaurant and café in the Eixample Esquerre neighborhood of Barcelona, serving Mediterranean and Middle Eastern-inspired dishes. The menu includes salads, eggs benedict, burgers, and shakshuka made with local produce.
The place was opened by Adi Nachson, an Israeli living in Barcelona, who named it after the Hebrew word for cake. He brought Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking traditions to a neighborhood that had little exposure to them before.
The space is furnished with vintage pieces and a wooden bar displaying a collection of old cups, giving it the feel of an English tea room. This personal touch makes it feel more like a home than a typical restaurant.
The café sits in the heart of Eixample Esquerre and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport from many parts of the city. It works best for a morning or midday visit, as the menu is built around brunch.
Fresh cakes are baked daily and displayed at the counter, so the selection changes depending on the season and what the kitchen has prepared that morning. This is also the reason the name of the place points directly to baking rather than to brunch.
