There is nothing more irresistible than that pleasant aroma of freshly baked bread or pastries, a sensory evocation that invites us to follow the trail until we find the origin of such a sweet provocation. Cakes and pastries are a temptation whether you have a sweet tooth or just an occasional sweet tooth, but there is always room in your stomach for something so delicious.
There are many pastry shops, there are also them inside the hotels that have used bars, terraces and lobbies to become cafes and bakeries where you can taste top bites, places to go without needing to stay. Once you succumb to temptation, there may be no turning back for love handles. These are three proposals in Barcelona that you should not miss.
The Majestic Hotel
But also, depending on the time of year, the proposals will change to adapt to the local traditions of each season, for example: coca de Sant Joan during the summer solstice, or nougat and the roscón de reyes during Christmas. The drinks will also be according to the season and the occasion, from coffees, teas or hot chocolate to cava and champagne.
The hotel company Sofitel presents a unique concept to claim something as French and popular as croissants, a flaky, spongy and crunchy pastry that melts in the mouth. A dough that combines butter with the most popular local ingredients. To enhance this sweet treat, they have created a range of high-end sweet and savory croissants to enjoy in many ways. At Sofitel Barcelona, they serve them during coffee breaks and breakfasts, croissants to which you can add a series of toppings to savor them to taste in the Syrah restaurant, an interior terrace, with tables and chairs that offer a very complete buffet, sausages, cheeses, jams, pastries, toasts, more than 80 different dishes.
As if it were a coffee book, this place is decorated with shelves full of books and designer pieces, a space to relax and enjoy the wide variety of pastries that can be seen in the center of the room, in a large display case, where gluten-free preparations are exhibited, as if they were precious jewels that are truly marvelous. Donuts, cookies, brownies, carrot cake, but also salty cereal bagels with marinated salmon, avocado and sprouts or caprese toast, and all accompanied by coffee, tea, fresh fruit, natural juices and infusions.
