  1. DrinkCentro

    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.

  2. DrinkCentro

    Confiteria London City

    A London-style bar. The original building was completely destroyed by a huge fire. It was rebuilt and opened again in 1954. Good place to stop by for a coffee before continue your walk along Av. de Mayo.

  3. EatPalermo and Recoleta

    La Biela

    Very nice cafe just outside of the cemetery, shaded by an enormous rubber tree. In very ancient times, it was a saying: If you are not greeted at La Biela, you do not exist. When the bill comes, remember that the largest part of the cost was not the meal, but the right to show yourself there.

  4. EatPalermo and Recoleta

    La Biela Cafe

    A great place to settle in for a few hours outside, under the huge ancient tree. "Biela" translates as "piston rod", and racers used to gather here a long time ago. It was a favourite dining place of the Argentinian writers Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Cesares, and there are statues of them at the front.

  5. SeeCentro

    La Botica del Angel

    Church/Old House that offers guided tours and where many cultural events take place. It is considered one of the places where "cafe concert" started.

  6. DrinkCentro

    La Puerto Rico

    One of the most popular coffee shops among locals, not touristy. It has been declared a "Site of Cultural Interest" by the Government of Argentina.

  7. DrinkOutskirts

    Las Violetas

    A lovely cafe, a bit off the beaten (tourist) path, but you can take the oldest subway line in the city, Line A, to get there. Well worth the trip.

  8. DrinkCentro

    Pride Cafe

    Modern decor and an outdoor seating area. Gay themed show on Thursday evenings. Open until 23:00, later on show nights.

    Bar El Hipopótamo

    A beautifully decorated bar and cafe that also serves food. The main meals are not so exciting so best stick to the light snacks. Very pleasant.

    Bar Iberia

    After cafe Tortoni, Bar Iberia is the second oldest bar in Buenos Aires. It represents an historical significance for the city, since It used to be the meeting point for the Spanish immigrants representing the 'republicans' during the civil war in Spain. In the corner in front of it, it is located Cafe Español, the meeting point for the opposite group of the republicans: those representing the Francoism. Today, Bar Iberia has been restored in a way to maintain most of its original façade.

    This is just a simple cafe in Montserrat but with good middle eastern food. The Kunafa con cream dessert is excellent it has a subtle flavour very different to most middle eastern desserts. It does not serve alcohol.
