La Biela

The historic bar of La Recoleta maintains intact its prestige and lineage as center of meeting of a regular clientele that it is also nurtured of the occasional visitors that have an appointment forced with one of the redoubts that grant to the city its elegant and cosmopolitan air.

A cute cafe by the park in Recotela. It used to be a hangout of Borges as well as Argentinian car racers. Great place to sit outside and enjoy the views on a warm day.

My favorite spot in Buenos Aires! The waiters are so incredibly friendly , and it's such a good place to relax in Recoleta. Order the cafe con leche and three media lunas , with a side of dulce de leche

Berat YARDIMCI

Dulce de Leche crepe , they do best crepe I have tried in any other countries of the world.

Lynne Bekhor

Always good - this is the first place we visit when we visit BA. Sit outside under the most amazing fig tree and enjoy a lomito completo.

martín g

A classic. A local institution. Drink the atmosphere, do the people watching like the locals!

Sofia Uz

Touristy , yet still good food. Note that prices for eating inside are 10% less than if you sit outside

Lili Rueda

VITTORIO

Best atmosphere in Recoleta. One of the oldest café in town

Laura Phan

A bit expensive for Buenos Aires, but you pay for the location. Very nice outdoor seating area

Dilek

Totally over rated.. charging you %10 more if you sit outside, that is really stupid. We did not eat meal just had a coffee and a pie , both regular and over priced

Explora BA

Overpriced coffee and bland, uninspired menu complemented by prime location fronting Recoleta Cemetery and old-school, classic Argentine cafe ambience.

Nathan

Decent coffee , and the terrace isn't a bad place to relax on a sunny afternoon.

Knud

Great cocktails . Fine kind and Quick service .

After many years of being the first place I ever go in Buenos Aires, this time I had a big disappointment with the traditional shrimp omelet . No taste and horrible look and texture.

Anja Cordes

The ambiance..! The service and the location..!

Dringo Pastingo

Location is great, though crowded with tourists for the Recoleta Cemetary. I found staff unfriendly and menu was way over-priced. With all that, disgusting food.

Abeja Lee

Good for cafe but not good for lunch or anything else...

Ocupar una mesa junto a la ventana para leer los diarios , tomar un rico café con medialunas y después mirar la gente pasar. Hermoso lugar para pasar un rato agradable.

Su terraza regala hermosas vistas al emblemático gomero de la plaza de enfrente, así como dulces puestas de sol sobre la Iglesia Nuestra Señora del Pilar y el Cementerio de los Monjes Recoletos, Read more

Probá Buenos Aires

Un lugar de encuentro, testigo de largas charlas famosas, de escritores, artistas y hombres del mundo automovilístico. Recomendamos pedir un aperitivo con la picada o un sándwich Lomo Biela .

João Batista

Aqui foi amor a primeira vista, adorei este lugar, visitando Buenos Aires não deixe de passar lá nem que seja para tomar um café .

Nicole Starr

Un clásico , con su amplio salón y sus mesas afuera, con historia, turístico y muchas opciones para comer, los precios son más elevados que en otros lugares pero aceptable
