PALERMO

If you are looking for tradition in Palermo you can go to El Preferido de Palermo very close to Plaza Cortázar (a.k.a. as Plaza Serrano), heart of the city nightlife. Different to the surrounding area of this old part of Palermo that has become modern, fashion and trendy, this bar holds strongly to the old tradition of the neighborhood being radically different to anything around it. The place serves as a restaurant too and you can get here the best argentine dishes.

 

 

RECOLETAbest cafes buenos aires

Cafe La Biela is an unquestionable part of the history of Recoleta. The Franciscan church of el Pliar, the Recoleta Cemetery and this Café make the Holy Trinity of the historic Recoleta, being the oldest things that stand in the neighborhood. For years La Biela was a place for racing car champions to meet, that’s why La Biela stands for “connection-rod” a little piece in the engine of a car. Nice to go for a coffe after a visit to the Recoleta Cemetery.

 

SAN TELMObest cafes buenos aires

San Telmo is the Meca of the traditional Cafés. Picturesque and quaint they can be found all over the place.
