Plato de fruta (super fresca) y unos huevos revueltos que también estuvieron muy bien. El café bien también! El único tema es que se llena mucho y los mozos no dan a basto, se hace un poco larga la espera de los platos. Pero excelente lugar para venir! Great place for brunch on weekends. So we did! I love this neighbourhood in Palermo. We had the avocado toast, beautiful. Fresh fruit please (super fresh) and scrambled eggs which were pretty good too. The coffee yummy! The only thing to have in mind that it gets crowded and waiters cannot deal with everything, so waiting for your brunch gets a little longer. But, excellent place to visit!

I enjoyed my visit to tea room, located in the Alvear Palace Hotel. We were seated just outside…read morethe garden sun room because of my elderly guest who lacked mobility and needed more light. We ordered two regular tea menus and also ordered a couple side items. Everyone enjoyed the food. The scones were served warm. The tea sandwiches were cute as tasty (though ham heavy which is typical in Argentina). The final cakes were rich and tasty. I enjoyed the apple tart, which came with raisins. The chocolate cake was tasty and had strong coffee flavors. The tea selection was limited to traditional teas, not so much fruity flavors. I like that. The service was exceptional. That's a rarity in Argentina. I'll likely try going back to restaurants in this hotel because the caliber of service is likely to remain. Ooh and keep in mind that Tuesday reservations will be easier to make and el include the glass of bubbly for the same price as the regular tea.

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.

There are two options: in the courtyard or inside in one of the fancy salons of the palace. (Note: When you make an invitation you need to tell them whether you want to eat inside or out.) We were in the courtyard and it was lovely. The food was lighter, international food. Maybe it's Nouveau Argentine? We each had amazing salads accompanied by lovely wine. The service seemed a little, um, stressed. Even our Argentine guests were a little irritated at times and Argentines do not appear to complain at restaurants -- ever. As we were leaving, the hostess asked if we want to see the two dining rooms inside the palace. Don't miss it. The inside is beautiful. One caution: if you're going to eat in the courtyard, put on some insect repellant. BA has a bumper crop of mosquitos this year.

The place is no secret among the denizens of Recoleta; it has a constant stream of customers for the pastry counter, seemingly never-ending! The tortas (mini-quieshes) are ridiculous! I had the broccoli two days running. The medialunes are far superior to those found in typical cafes of this type. Even the cafe con leche is better than expected. I didn't look at their menu but it looked like they serve a full lunch. The service is great: take and deliver your order, then leave you in peace until you make eye contact. Prices not super low, but quite reasonable. Cafe con leche and 3 medialunes for 42 pesos ($4) at time of writing. If you want table service just find a seat and be patient. For the pastry counter, take a number from the red dispenser and enjoy the cornucopia of edibles before you. They carry a small selection of jams, chocolates and other accoutrements above the counter. And they have a restroom for customers.
