La Cúpula At The Palace

Tucked inside one of Madrid’s most storied hotels, La Cúpula offers the kind of brunch experience that feels like stepping into another era. The setting alone is worth the visit—a stunning art deco-inspired dining room crowned by a magnificent stained glass dome, surrounded by centuries-old tapestries and glittering chandeliers. This is where you come when you want to mark something meaningful.

The breakfast buffet is a celebration of both abundance and quality. You’ll find everything from seasonal fruits and delicate pastries to perfectly poached eggs and traditional tortilla española. The salad bar and Spanish cheese selection are impressive, but the real showstopper is the ham station. A trained jamón cutter—a true artist in Spanish culinary tradition—slices acorn-fed Iberian ham directly from the bone onto your plate. It doesn’t get more authentic than this.

For those looking to go all out, the Opera & Brunch on Sundays elevates the experience even further. From 1 to 4pm, guests enjoy a raw bar, Champagne on arrival, and live opera performances filling the room with soaring vocals. At €125 per person, it’s designed for milestone celebrations—think landmark birthdays, wedding proposals, or moments that deserve to feel truly unforgettable.

Whether you opt for the standard buffet at €45 or the full opera experience, La Cúpula delivers a brunch that transcends the ordinary. Sink into a velvet chair, savor some of Spain’s finest ham, and let the grandeur of the setting transform a Sunday morning into something extraordinary.
