Iconic bar restaurant near the Recoleta cemetery. Lots of seating inside and out and serving all day. The service is okay, the food is mediocre but the location and ambiance is unmatched. The statues of writers Borges and Cabrera seated at a table at the entrance are Instagram worthy, as are the statues of the motor car racers outside.

Came here for lunch, and we decided to sit outside. A singer was playing live music out in the park, which was nice. I got the ensalada la biela and my bf got the lomito a la biela. The salad had heart of palm, celery, apple, and shrimp with a lemon juice sauce on the side. I personally didn't like the heart of palm much, and the shrimp was just standard. The dressing also wasn't special - just tasted like lemon juice. The star of the meal was the lomito. It was sooo tender and tasty with the mushroom sauce. Pricey spot, but it's historic and touristy.

As an Italian, very large, very friendly and open ear café. I'm hoping that we came on a sunny day, and a rainy day, and both times the place was busy. Service is great, prices are reasonable.

We had a lovely breakfast here! The restaurant was huge, but gave the feel of an intimate diner. It was pretty dead in there when we arrived, so I was surprised that the service was so painfully slow, although our server was very nice. They did seem to rush us out a bit, which I thought was weird because they were providing such slow service and there were plenty of open tables for seating. We opted to have a traditional Argentine breakfast of toast with jams and sandwiches (La Biela on the menu), complete with their famed apple cream pie. The toast and sandwiches were nothing special, which you can see, but the jams were really good! The dulce de leche one is perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth like me! I absolutely LOVED the apple cream pie. It was dense and not too sweet, complete with a thin glaze on the top that wasn't too sweet (and if you have coffee with it, it perfectly balances). I would definitely recommend coming here over Cafe Tortoni!

Straightforward cafe. Quick and courteous service. Reasonably priced. Very busy in the morning for breakfast, but has an ample menu for all day dining, with salads, pizzas, meats, and more. Ample sitting inside with interesting old schools "racing" themed stuff. Pleasant outside sitting facing the park. Was staying in a nearby hotel and had ham pizza and malbec glass of wine for dinner, cant complain. Good option when you are kinda hungry but wanna do a no frill meal.

Many indoor and outdoor seating. Many verity of foods. Sandwiches are good. Best for brunch since location is perfect to start your day in a great area to explore. Kids friendly as there is an open area / park closely. Public Parking is available. Service is amazingly quick and waters are responsive. Atmosphere is again great for groups, couples and kids.

This traditional cafe is located in front of the entrance of the Recoleta cemetery, and it's perfect for a break after a visit. The place is busy but very big, so we didn't have to wait to get a table. Our waiter was quite the character with a strong personality, but very efficient and professional. The food is just fine, but prices are very reasonable considering the location. Totally worth a visit when in the area.

Food: 5 Customer Service: 5 Location: 5 Cleanliness: 5 This gem is situated in the heart of Buenos Aires Argentina downtown area, and is a very well known traditional Argentina spot. We visited this cafe last month while we was visiting the local area, and spot in for a small breakfast snack. We decided to try their local coffee and their croissants. The coffee was very strong and tasted truly amazing. The croissants were served warm and was just perfect for a light morning snack. Our waiter was very courtesy and helpful, as he could tell that we were tourist. The cafe offers indoor and outdoor seating for their customers. The cafe also had Wi-Fi for their customers, so you check your emails or just surf the internet. The restrooms are male and female and was very clean and well maintained.  This was a great experience and I would highly recommend!
