    A lovely little hidden gem located on the property of the museum of decorative art. It's very small inside with a great outdoor seating area. The good was fresh and very yummy. The fresh squeezed orange juice is so good as is the cafe con leche. Don't miss eating the medilunas warm!!

    3 mini burgers... Good but too much bread

    This is a very, very cute place and I recommend going on a nice day so that you can enjoy the outdoor seating (also, there are very few tables indoors)!! The waitstaff were kind, the menu options were plentiful, and our meals were pretty good. They weren't amazing (maybe 3.5 out of 5 stars), but the ambience made up for it. My friends' salads were good and the Croque Madame, an egg-in-a-hole toasted ham sandwich that brought me back to the days my mom used to make me breakfast, was rich and buttery. I got the 3 mini burgers and they were just average... I think the bread to meat ratio was too high! The food prices were kinda high, but in general this place is lovely for refreshments. I definitely recommend checking out the Museo de Arte Decorativo afterwards- it opens at 2 and the entrance fee is low.

    DIVINE croque Madame with mushroom creme
    Renier C.

    After a beautiful afternoon tour of the Museum, we stopped at the wonderful croque Madame for some down time. The cafe is a slice of Paris right in Argentina and the bistro style menu is wonderful. The pâte served at the beginning was very tasty and though service seemed a little frazzled at first, they were very good with their recommendations. I ordered the Mushroom creme Croque Madame, which was divine! My partner enjoyed a sundried tomato and something else sandwich, which we both loved. All in all, I would love to return to this cafe when I come back to Buenos Aires! And I highly recommend it!

    Bread yum

    I heard from my sister that this is a place with small plates of food, just perfect for me that I eat 3 onz of food every 3 hours. We ordered as appetizer 9 little pies with different flavors, squash, onions, ham&cheese, crab and others. I was almost full bu then because I ate a piece of each one. My less favorite was the one with squAsh. I ordered the chop suey with chicken. I liked it but is not something that I would eat again. Chop suey originals is made with not so much peppers because it makes the plate to bitter. A few onions and chicken in small-tiny-round portions. It was more peppers in oil/butter than an original recipe called chop suey. My son ordered a chicken with creamy rice in green sauce. The sauce was okay but the chicken was over cooked, it was too dry. In a plate like this, so creamy, the chicken might be better if its cooked in slow cooker and then barely grilled with some garlic. The chicken itself didn't have a lot of flavor. The salad was great, it was rich in veggies and the vinaigrette was really good, based in dijon and honey. I think this salad missed avocado, but it might get too classic like that. The waiter, principal key in my review, was patient, gave us good recommendations, and nice. We left him a tip but it looks like he was not expecting it. Water is not free, I don't know if its in all Argentina but everywhere we go, they serve us bottles of mineral water when we order a cup of water. In the US water is free. The dessert which is my favorite part in the meals was just perfect. Not too sweet, not too flavorless. The volcano chocolate cake was served in an orange sauce that gave a delicious bitter taste to my bite. Too expensive perhaps, but I will go back because the place itself is well located and fresh, just perfect for a spring afternoon.

    It had been many years since my initial visit to L'Orangerie. I had great memories of the art deco…read moreroom, with high ceilings and iron work. We arrived for a 2p lunch and the room was lovely. The menu consisted of a cold buffet and menu items of the day. My friends ordered the buffet and 2 of us ordered the 'Loma de Pesca'. Our fish order showed up 20 minutes later as sliced filets of Lomo de Res. The waiter was profusely apologetic and stated his mind confused the meat with the fish. 35 minutes later, still no fish, but complimentary glasses of champagne for the delay. At the 45 minute mark, the fish arrived. More apologies and we noted the sauce on the fish had already congealed, so it had been sitting awhile. Coffee with some complimentary dessert bites. Sadly, the elegance and service I remembered was very much lacking. As a 'bonus', 20 minutes after leaving L'Orangerie, someone charged $1200 USD on plane tickets to Chile on the CC I had just used at the restaurant.

    Beautiful setting, delicious food and superb service. These would be the three terms I'd use to…read moredescribe our experience here for afternoon tea. Located inside the Alvear Palace Hotel, this restaurant and tea room is exquisite in its appointments and the food and service are equally well matched. Afternoon tea started with small pasty, followed by scones accompanied by clotted cream, preserves and creme anglaise. Then came a tiered tower with sandwiches and pastries, followed by the cart if larger pastries and a glass of sparkling wine. Of note, was the Alvear tea blend, which features citrus notes, almond and rose petals. Everything was This was a wonderful experience, and a highlight of this trip to Buenos Aires.

    American goes to American breakfast spot- fork found in kitchen…read more Jay's was my boyfriend's favorite brunch spot when he lived in Buenos Aires so we had to visit. I grabbed a vanilla iced latte and we both got some eggs, toast and side dishes. I got some hash browns and he got pancakes. Wow the hash browns were so good. And I'm normally super picky about my pancakes but these were also incredible. They also give you a cup of maple syrup which I didn't think would be enough for me but it was alright. I got a cheese omelette which I didn't like too much but I traded it with my boyfriend for his scrambled eggs- I highly recommend the scrambled eggs, they have a really incredible seasoning. And the hashbrowns. You order at the counter and your food is brought to you. You can pay with a credit card. This place definitely feels like a sports bar/breakfast spot and they even had my local teams flag up on the wall! Skol Vikings! The latte also was very good, probably the best one I had the whole trip.

    An American visiting Buenos Aires, found this on Google by simply putting in American breakfast …read more we had been here for five days and I was craving an American breakfast and JAY'S did not disappoint. I don't really want to complain because basically the taste I was craving I was given. I do not speak the language, but I thought they understood I wanted my egg over medium or like the picture at least Sunnyside up and I got a full on fried egg ( fully cooked) so that will be my only complaint I don't like my yolk fully cooked. a very small place so you may have a wait, they don't rush you to get up. it's quaint it's not many tables. The menu is pretty easy to read with all the regular American cuisine for breakfast. bacon eggs, pancakes, waffles, etc. you look at the menu at your table and then you go to a window to order, we were told that when we were seated ( quickly forgot ) we are not used to that so we did forget, we sat for minutes wondering when someone was going to take our order and then we remembered we had to go to the window . even though you have to order this way, they do bring your food to your table. Our host/waiter was extremely nice. I'm sorry I did not get his name, I'm from California we talked a little bit about the decor. He told me he was a Spurs fan. MY HUSBAND got an iced coffee with no ice at all. Super sweet tasted more like chocolate milk with whip cream. It was OK for me. I did not order that myself . it was crowded but we were able to be seated just the two of us in about 30 minutes but if you're from out of the country and you're from the states, JAY'S is the place to go . the food was delicious over cooked and all.
