Bar Palacio (Museo Fotográfico Simik)

Very interesting collection from Alejandro Simik who has over 600 cameras and 4000 images as well as other photography items. Have never seen bar-museum and very interesting concept to enjoy your meal and watch a beautiful collection. Unfortunately food and even coffee aren’t really the best and service is very very slow. In case, it’s worth visiting anyway

A cafe-restaurant inside a wonderful collection of hundreds of cameras and photographic equipment (enlargers, projectors and so on). We tried it for breakfast and the food was ok, but unfortunately the coffee was just horrible, spoiling an otherwise very pleasant discovery of a "true" photo museum. True in the sense that the variety and quality of camera is impressive, but unfortunately lacks any description of the items you are seeing. Cameras go from "barely vintage" (about 30 years old) to over 100 years old, making the latter decidedly historic. They also come from pretty much all over the world, with some Russian camera, lots from Japan and Germany (obviously) and even some rare ones from Italy and other countries.

Never have eating here , but often go to listen for livemusic. People that works are very nice , the local amazing , so much amazing photo memorabilia . Visit this place , the prices are a.lso decent by the way.

Hidden gem tucked away in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. This café harbours a charming collection of vintage cameras neatly displayed in glass cabinets. Very atmospheric - the vast array of cameras, lenses and photography paraphernalia give Simik an absolutely unique aesthetic. The food is not as impressive but the venue is well worth a visit if you are photography enthusiast! 📸 Pictures by Ignacio de Asua 📸INSTAGRAM: @unhippieconosde 📸 TRIPADVISOR PHOTOWALKS : “Buenos Aires Photographer”

Very cool resto bar, lots of antique photographic equipment, smooth jazz played by amateur lovers of the genre on Tuesday and Friday nights. Food available on jazz nights.

No sabes si tomar café o contemplar las cámaras fotográficas Este lugar con una larga historia ha logrado conservar el espíritu del viejo Buenos Aires. Si eres amante de la fotografía o el arte, no puedes dejar de visitarlo con tu cámara. El local en sí mismo es un escenario perfecto para capturar imágenes únicas. El bar también es hogar de una pequeña pero impresionante colección fotográfica. En las paredes cuelgan fotografías antiguas y cámaras retro que narran la evolución de la fotografía en Argentina. Es un verdadero tesoro para los amantes de la historia y el arte. El menú es sencillo, pero de excelente calidad.

Very average coffee and below average food . Order the Lucas's it is your best chance. Tuesday night jazz is a must see. Amazing musicians. Come early it runs from 8pm - 11 pm sharp. Interesting atmosphere as it doubles as a camera museum
