Overview

The ambiance suits this literary café of sorts—dim lights, piano music, the ever-bohemian crowd. Opened in 1938, this historic bookstore was declared a cultural landmark by the city's legislature. It offers contemporary musical performances in the evenings, which require a cover charge of ARS15. There are books, newspapers and magazines to browse while indulging in breakfast, lunch or dinner from an international menu. Cold weather is ideal for their Puchero (Spanish dish of vegetable, meat, chicken in broth).
