It is a Saturday here in Granada.
00:20
And not a creature is stirring.
00:22
It is so quiet, everyone partied hard last
night.
00:26
And are recovering.
00:30
We could hear them leaving the bar.
00:31
At like 2 or 3 in the morning.
00:34
You get so used to it in Spain it almost becomes
like your sleeping soundtrack.
00:35
It doesn't even bother us anymore.
00:40
Rowdy people leaving the bar.
00:42
Um yeah so the plan for today is to go out
for breakfast.
00:43
We want to show you what a Spanish breakfast
looks like.
00:45
And yesterday while we were out in town Sam
noticed a place (Via Colon).
00:49
So we're going to try and retrace our steps.
00:53
There is a few good places so yeah we won't
have any trouble finding one.
00:54
Okay so Sam found a great little spot for
us not too far from the apartment.
01:13
This place is called ViaColon and it is a
beautiful coffee house (cafe).
01:22
Like it is classy inside.
01:26
And prices are very reasonable I have to say.
01:28
It is competitive with some more rustic looking
places.
01:31
And yeah this we are really excited.
01:35
We ordered three different things.
01:38
Yeah and that is what we've done.
01:39
So they have a menu for breakfast.
01:40
You have like 5 different options.
01:42
So we've ordered 3 of them because we were
feeling pretty hungry.
01:45
We think we can tackle 3 breakfasts between
the two of us.
01:49
Yeah and not only that just going for any
kind of walk in the morning makes you hungry.
01:51
I have a sweater and winter hat.
01:59
Bundling up in the mornings.
02:02
Oh and there are the churros.
02:03
Oh my gosh the churros just arrived.
02:05
Okay we're going to start off with something
sweet.
02:07
That is the plan now guys.
02:09
Going in for the churros.
02:12
In a hot chocolate.
02:17
I just love the thickness of the chocolate.
02:18
I just can't get over it.
02:19
When have you seen hot chocolate so thick.
02:21
And it is like dunking it in chocolate sauce.
02:23
It is just a wonderful richness
to it.
02:29
It is the kind of thing you could eat anytime
of day huh?
02:40
We ate a lot of churros when we were in Madrid.
02:43
But these are like even more dense.
02:45
They have less air in them.
02:46
So yeah you're just getting more dough.
02:47
It is more filling.
02:48
Would you say these are the best churros you've
tried in Spain so far?
02:49
I may have to say that.
02:55
So good that you almost gobbled a whole churro
and I haven't even tried mine.
02:59
That is the sad part.
03:06
Well you've almost ate half of yours.
03:07
Finger licking good?
03:10
Finger licking good.
03:12
Okay Sam is going in for the churros.
03:13
I better get mine before it is gone.
03:15
Yeah you better hurry man.
03:17
So they brought some a little bit of sugar.
03:19
So apparently you can sprinkle a little bit
on so why don't we try that.
03:21
Why don't we try that.
03:24
I mean it is going to be rich enough but haha.
03:26
I can't believe we're starting with the sweet
stuff as well.
03:30
We are ruining our chance at dessert.
03:35
These should be our dessert of the breakfast.
03:37
We should be saving.
03:38
We should be having the savory things first.
03:39
But oh look at that.
03:40
Just look at it dripping.
03:42
These are almost like something in between
porras and churros.
03:52
That is how I would describe it.
03:57
They are a little bit.
03:59
They have a little bit more air and a little
bit thicker.
04:00
No, they have less air.
04:06
You think they have less air.
04:07
But they are more spongy than a typical churros.
04:08
That is how I would describe it.
04:09
And it really sops up the chocolate.
04:12
It really sops up the chocolate.
04:14
And it is not quite as crispy on the outside
as some of the other churros I've had that
04:17
I also find this one less oily like some of
the churros can be that is true.
04:25
Some of the churros can be really oily and
greasy.
04:27
Just let me have another one for scientific
purposes only.
04:29
We were are going to split the last one.
04:33
What really makes it here though is the hot
chocolate.
04:36
Like this is just really rich.
04:42
Really sweet and just really I don't know
just.
04:44
This is just the perfect.
04:47
They compliment each other so well.
04:48
I just wish we had a few more.
04:50
We may have to order another plate.
04:52
We may have to order another plate guys.
04:53
Yeah but we do have more breakfast items to
sample over here.
04:54
Okay now that we've had our sweet stuff let's
move on to the savory.
05:02
And first up we have the tortilla which the
best way to describe this would be like a
05:07
potato and egg omelette.
05:13
It is about an inch thick.
05:15
I'd say this is a bit more of a generous portion
than what I'm used to.
05:17
Like they really give us a nice slab here.
05:20
They did not skimp out.
05:23
That is pretty nice yeah.
05:26
Good way to get your carbs and a bit of protein
huh?
05:27
I really enjoy this.
05:32
I've been known to eat it for breakfast, lunch
and dinner.
05:35
There was one day like 2 and a half years
ago in Madrid where you had this all day long.
05:37
You had you literally did have it for breakfast
lunch and dinner.
05:43
Clearly I like my tortilla.
05:47
That is very much a true story.
05:48
I almost feel like it needs ketchup though.
05:51
It is almost like having fries.
05:53
It needs some ketchup.
05:56
You need some catsup.
05:57
Where is the catsup?
05:58
And they serve this with some slices of tomatoes.
05:59
That is kind of nice because it just gives
it a bit of a refreshing juiciness with the
06:03
It is now Sam's turn.
06:10
Time for me to go in for the Spanish Tortilla
(tortilla española).
06:12
Anyways uh it is very simple ingredients.
06:16
Just potato and egg.
06:18
It is a lot denser than what it may look like.
06:21
It might look fluffy on camera but it is thick.
06:24
It is almost like a it has the consistency
of like a brick.
06:27
You can throw it like a brick.
06:30
I think it is meant to be filling.
06:31
It is meant to be filling.
06:33
And it is great for the winter right now.
06:36
I would say it is more heavy.
06:39
It is more heavily leaning towards um like
a potato consistency than egg.
06:41
But um yeah it is really nice.
06:47
It is I need this kind of savory thick filling
food in the winter just to keep me warm.
06:48
Alright, so now we're going to move on to
breakfast item number three.
06:54
So the third item on the menu it was listed
as bari which I haven't heard before because
06:59
it is kind of like a toasted sandwich with
Jamón serrano.
07:04
Oh can you open that one more time.
07:06
And on the other side.
07:08
We've got the tomato.
07:11
I didn't know it came with tomato.
07:12
I couldn't even see that when I was first
looking.
07:13
This is our first time having it with tomato.
07:16
Like usually when we ask for a bocadillo de
jamón serrano.
07:19
It is just bread and ham.
07:23
But I like that the tomato gives it a bit
of juiciness.
07:25
Those are nice thin slices of ham.
07:36
It is like lightly shaved meat.
07:40
I think I'm going to like it too.
07:45
This has been a good breakfast spot.
07:47
Yeah, moving on to the sandwich.
07:52
So I'm excited to try this.
07:54
A typical lunch for us like a do it yourself
lunch here in Spain has been like baguette
07:56
and going out and getting like Jamón ibérico
or something or like Jamón serrano.
08:01
Just going out and getting ham and making
really simple sandwiches.
08:06
Sometimes throwing in some cheese.
08:10
So this is just like a really familiar uh
comfort food for me here in Spain.
08:11
Oh, that is really good.
08:18
They put in more ham than I thought.
08:20
It is nice and thick.
08:23
And that tomato pastes gives it a little bit
of juiciness which I like too.
08:25
Yeah it is just nice to have this variety
of 3 different things and we've even been
08:32
thinking there is a piece of carrot cake that
looks so good in the case.
08:38
Sam has been eyeing the cake.
08:41
I've been eying it.
08:42
This is basically our brunch so I have a feeling
we're going to order it.
08:43
It is my achilles heel.
08:48
I've walked in and I had no plans to order
any cake but I saw it and like I've got to
08:50
Yeah, this isn't even like Spanish breakfast
food.
08:55
This is definitely not.
08:58
This is bonus footage right here.
09:00
But anyways they beautifully plated it.
09:01
It looks like there is some kind of like a
caramel sauce over here.
09:05
There is even ice cream here.
09:11
Alright you dig right in before that ice cream
melts.
09:15
I'm just going to go for a bite of carrot
cake right now.
09:19
Well a little bit of ice cream too.
09:21
Actually forget that I'm trying almost everything.
09:22
I've got to try the icing just to confirm.
09:30
That is the real cream cheese icing.
09:37
I had the last time I had carrot cake was
really disappointing.
09:40
It was like a more of a whipped icing than
cream cheese-y.
09:42
And I was so disappointed.
09:46
So this is making up for my last bad piece
of carrot cake I had not too long ago.
09:48
Time to wrap things up.
09:51
That was a glorious feast of feasts.
09:54
I didn't probably didn't need that cake.
09:58
It was already big enough breakfast but yeah
I'm certainly full now.
10:00
Anyways on to price point.
10:03
It came to just over 20 Euros.
10:04
Oh sorry it was under.
10:07
You would know better.
10:09
Yeah, that is right.
10:11
So basically that included 3 breakfast mains.
10:14
Out of those breakfast mains the hot chocolate
came with the churros (churros con chocolate).
10:17
Your tea came with the sandwich right.
10:21
So then I ordered an additional cappuccino.
10:23
And then an additional slice of cake.
10:26
So yeah that was a lot of food for 19 Euros.
10:28
Great atmosphere in here.
10:32
The quality of everything was really good.
10:33
Like the meat was good.
10:34
The coffee was good.
10:35
The hot chocolate was good.
10:37
So yeah there were no.
10:39
There were no misses here.
10:40
I'd highly recommend coming here.
10:41
And yeah what a great way to start the day.
10:43
So we'll see you guys in the next video.
10:45
