Best cafés in Buenos Aires

  1. DrinkCaféCentro

    Cafe Tortoni

    Opened in 1858, one of the most traditional coffee houses in Buenos Aires. It has been restored to its original style, which dates back to 150 years ago. It was a cultural meeting point of many famous people, like Borges, Quinquela Martin, Molina Campos, among others. The hot chocolate is incredible. This cafe suffers from its popularity - people queue on the footpath and are called in two by two as in the ark to have a cup of tea or even a coca cola and leave again.
