    Savory Pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. A new take on an old classic.
    D Maurice M.

    First time in Barcelona and no matter what time I wake up (today it was 1:30pm due to the time difference, lol), I always want a good breakfast/brunch. Well, I opened up Yelp and the first place to come up was Can Dendê. I couldn't even get to any other options because everything looked so good and the reviews were so positive! So, I had to try it out. It went way beyond my expectations. First, we ordered the fried green tomatoes. The salsa alone was incredible! Along with the cheese and the tomatoes, it was sublime and hands down the best fried green tomato I have ever tasted! Next, I had the savory pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. I was surprised that all the ingredients were combined together! Topped with arugula and creme fresh mixed within, I poured over some maple syrup and that's all she wrote...heavenly! We also got the Eggs Benedict and again, the fresh ingredients stood out and came through, especially the potatoes. We finished it off with their pink lemonade and a Bloody Mary and I can't say enough of this experience. I will be eating here again before my trip ends...thank you, Can Dendê!!!

    Small little spot found thanks to my fellow Yelpers. Trendy, cute little spot serving up delicious food. I ordered the savory pancakes, they were delicious. The batter was fluffy on the inside with a golden crisp on the outside, topped with over easy eggs and arugula. Hubby had the salmon bagel shown in the picture. And my coffee was perfectly prepared.

    Beautiful spot for brunch. Had the salmon bagel with waffle chips/fries. Made fresh and flavorful. Also had the savory pancakes with bacon. That was tasty too. Good service, prices and food. A great way to start your day in Barca...

    Wonderful hipster place. Incredible coffee and bloody mary's. The egg bendict was fantastic and service was fast and efficient.

    Great breakfast spot in Barcelona. Has some random hours. So be sure to check before you head out. Staff was friendly and they had an English menu. Food was great. Would highly recommend!

    Found this place on Yelp with only 3 reviews but it was a 5min walk from the apartment I'm at so decided to go. It's on the corner - of a not so busy street but neighbor bustling neighborhoods. So it's got kind of a hipster vibe going on- but not subtle. Our waitress was very cool and spoke great English. Menu items looked great and the specials of the day were on an index card. It's a small but open space and constantly full. You can see all that's happening in the kitchen. The staff as whole is eager to help, friendly and suggestive. The Jack Russell mascot who meanders around waiting for someone to drop something is probably one of the funnier parts. No one is annoyed by him and he doesn't annoy anyone. The food was incredible - I haven't had a good brunch in a while. Balanced flavors that can fit any of your cravings-- savory or sweet. Can't remember the names of our meals, but I'll post pics.

    There was a long wait but it was definitely worth it. I got a burger and the vodka lemonade. Both were delicious and the service was very good and pretty fast. We went on a Sunday at 2 and it was packed. I think the weekend are pretty crazy. Very worth it!

    Missed my breakfast at the hotel and went there for brunch. Jerked pork benedict was amazing! The food overall is very good, but the place is too small, so the line is quite impressive. It is one of the few brunch places open on Sunday, so prepare to wait in the queue for a while.. Also, if you are a single person, you'll be seated at the counter, not the most pleasant place to sit. Even though, I give it 5 stars.

    Can Dendê is spectacularly good! I came here 3 times while in Barcelona. Everything is fresh and very original. The baristas are superb, mixing delicious drinks and coffees with a lot of flare. The food is scrumptious. I went for the simple pancakes with fruit and 2 fried eggs - both are great - and then finished it off with an amazing cappuccino. The sangria and other drinks are also incredible. I will miss this place when I leave!

    Food was absolutely delicious. Went with my wife and we ordered 3 mains in order to try some variety. Ana had the Eggs Benedict and I had the Pulled Pork Pancakes. The extra plate was the Crispy Chicken Burger. The three of them were awesome, I fully endorse them. Went on a Sunday morning. There was a line and we queued for about 20 mins. The place is really small so not much seating available. The usual tip: Get there early or be ready to wait on busy Brunch hours. We are eager to return and try some other items on the menu. If the quality of the food is replayed and the other items are as good as the ones we had, I will gladly upgrade them to 5 stars.

    I loved it oh so much! Service,food,ambiance - it has this amazing vibe, when you don't quite know what is it,but you feel so comfortable that you never want to leave. I have ordered poached eggs with salmon on English muffin, and these were the best poached eggs I had in Barcelona! I also really need to find out the recipe for their hollandaise sauce- it was sooo good, I almost ordered the second serving of it! I have also seen their burgers (with fried chicken or veal)- they did look good. And of course, like any place specialized in brunch, they have pancakes and french toasts - kitchen space is opened to public so you can see a cook grilling these beauties, and the smell of freshly baked pancakes dusted with sugar overfills the cafe and makes it even dreamier:-)) Take in mind - they are closed in August,so plan your visit in September.

    Very flavorful & reasonably priced brunch food options! Helpful (multi lingual) and happy staff! Found it nearby our hotel on first morning here & it was an easy decision to return the next day! Could likely be our favorite part of visiting Barcelona! Wanting to have stayed for longer to get the crispy chicken sandwich!

    Arrived early on our trip to Barcelona and yelped places to grab brunch. Immediately Can Dendê came up as the closest restaurant. We decided to walk from our hotel & it was definitely worth the wait! The restaurant is small & cozy so they had a bit of a wait but the food was incredible! The hostess kept us informed of our turn in the line & once we sat down to eat, our food was brought out fast. So happy I found this little gem. My husband and I got omelettes with salad and shared the hand cut fries and plank cakes! They were truly divine. Highly recommended for fresh food with amazing taste. The staff is very warm and welcoming which just makes the experience worth the wait.

    This place is bomb. Eggs Benedict was off the chart, and their breakfast drinks were a must have.

    Oh my goodness this is so good. If I ever go to Barcelona again I would come here…read more Must get: Steak with foie gras on bread 8/10: sooo decadent and luxurious. It's abt 8 euros a piece. Very flavorful and fast experience. Oxtail and mashed potatoes 10/10: the oxtail meet is so tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes pair so well with the oxtail. Mushroom, steak, and egg yolk 9/10: soo flavorful and balance of veggies and protein. Amazing textures and flavors. Sparkling sangria: 8/10 I don't normally live the taste of alcohol but this was great. Not tooooo strong and if tastes pretty good if you mix it with the orange juice. Fresh orange juice: 10/10 so tangy and delicious. I can't recommend it enough. Patatas bravas: 9/10 solid no complaints! Dessert Tapas: - bread dessert (Tarija): 11/10 amazing dessert that is creamy, cameralized, and has a mochi like texture. This fried chewy dessert is not too sweet and such an affordable price. - coconut pudding 9/10 solid and refreshing if you like flan - bread, chocolate oil, salt 7/10: I live the complex flavors. The chocolate mousse was light and the bread to mousse ratio was perfect. It's a smaller dessert tho I wouldn't recommend it if ur sharing. Service: amazing! Staff I'm everywhere so it was very easy to order more food. Also we were sitting buy the area where they made dessert and they allowed me to record them making it!! Comfortable ambiance great for date night or casual meals!!!

The feta cheese was absolutely disgusting, it tasted like imitation rubber cheese. - The "Al Ajillo" Style Shrimps (GAMBES AMB ALLADA) had a very strange flavor within it, which overwhelmed the garlic flavors. - The Beef Tenderloin (FILET VEDELLA), she had to spit 1/4 of it out because it was too tough. - Everything was overpriced there for the value. If you are in the area DO NOT waste your time nor money dining here!!!

It's about a 6 minute taxi ride from there. We were seated in the back room with the writing covering the walls. The front bar seemed a little livelier but we took what was offered. Husband had house red wine (3.50 euros) and I had sangria (4.50 euros). Good pours for both. We started with the red shrimp (gambillos) in a lemongrass sauce, about 6 shrimp for 15 euros. Then grilled octopus (which was very tender) over mash potatos and snap peas for 15 euros. We also had a side of grilled bread (4 pieces) for 3.5. We also ordered the Pepita beef with mash potato but took home for dinner as we were full (18 euros). We finished with the homemade corn ice cream with carmelized popcorn and raspberries, which was very unique at 6.5. We added our names to the wall to top off the meal. Service was quick and friendly. Total bill was 85 euros including 5 drinks. It was our best meal in Barcelona so far.
