First off, it's on you to figure out whether or not to order your drink at the cocktail stand or the kiosk with the pastries as well as paying through the waitress or at the stands. Secondly, service is terribly, terribly slow and anything besides pastries are a joke - do not get a salad here! The salads are prepacked in clear, plastic containers, and that's how they are served. You literally have to go to the stand to insist hey pick through and offer you one without wilted, dead, dark-green lettuce. Also, tea opens are very limited, which is so confusing and though I asked of the tea comes in a pot or cup and was told it would come in a pot (the only reason I ordered), my tea came in a cup with no explanation. Why would I go to a tea spot for a cup of tea? Some of my friends were frustrated and got coffees to be safe but they all came in to-go cups. I had to remind them 4 times for the little pastry I ordered and had already paid for as well. Go to buy loose-leaf tea, go to take photos, but that's about it.

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.

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.
