Intimately linked to Buenos Aires lore since its opening in 1950, it retains the charm of genuine Porteño soul. Antique photos of celebrated entertainers who gathered here hang from the walls. This was a meeting place for the literati, including Leopoldo Lugones, Ruben Darío and Jose Hernández of “Martin Fierro” fame. It also attracted such international legends as Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong and the Mexican comedian Cantinflas. Pizza is the speciality here—with more than 50 varieties to choose from—along with international and Mediterranean cuisine. The house wine is affordable at ARA6.
