Brunch time ! The Valencian Almorzaret is a cherished local tradition—a mid-morning meal that goes beyond a simple snack. Typically enjoyed between 9:00 and 12:00, it reflects Valencia’s agricultural roots, where farmers would pause their work for a hearty break.
An almorzaret begins with a picaeta (appetizer) of olives, nuts, and pickled vegetables, followed by a generous bocadillo filled with ingredients like longaniza, morcilla, sobrasada, or grilled meats. It’s often accompanied by beer or wine with gaseosa, and finished with a cremaet, a coffee infused with rum, cinnamon, and lemon.
More than just a meal, the almorzaret is a social ritual—a moment to gather, chat, and savor the flavors of Valencia.
