"Cappuccino at Cortázar's favorite café Buenos Aires is filled with historic bars and cafés, but London City, recently reopened after significant restorations, is worth seeking out for two reasons: its literary pedigree and its fantastic location. The café was the particular favorite of one of Argentina's great writers, Julio Cortázar, who wrote his novel Los premios (1960) while seated here. Today, the outward-facing sidewalk tables on Avenida de Mayo are a perfect place to stop for coffee (or a glass of wine) and watch the world go by."

A FOODIE’S UNEXPECTEDLY DELIGHTFUL HIGH TEA in Buenos Aires. It brings back fond memories 😎😎😎. It a large establishment with a high-ceiling dining hall, a tent and a takeaway counter for British goodies. Two lovely pots is tea: Oolong and Assam are just what one needs on breezy cool day. The ham and cheese sunnies😊😊😊 are just a great touch. Bread and butty are substantial. The Ravioli is quite light yet so very appetizing for today’s tea.🤗 The Tuna Pie, though not a usual British fare, is the tradition of pies. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Crackling pastry crush, very thin, and a very packed filing of tuna chunks, onions and herbs. IT IS HEAVENLY! (Tuna is generally found in Cornish pasties, but Tuna Pie is quite a novelty… thank you 🙏) Service is outstanding. While the dining hall looks very grand, the tent is a very good idea. It reminds me of summer dining tents in the English and Scottish countrysides.😊😊😊.

An interesting restaurant decorated quite authentically. The food is generally good, but nothing fancy. The meat was soft, but the mussels in the seafood pasta had sand in them. The service was excellent. The prices are quite high, but in this location it is justified.

Went here for lunch! This was a great place to grab lunch or brunch. Around the corner from a lot of tourist places. Save room for dessert, they have tons of dessert options!

Such a beautiful cafe. We enjoyed spending time here over coffee and breakfast. The atmosphere is just gorgeous, a step back in time. The food and drinks were delicious. The juices were freshly squeezed and the food was so flavourful. Service was friendly and prompt. One of my favourites in Buenos Aires.

Unexpected delight near the Casa Rosada with attentive service, insanely delicious Café con leche, and melt-in-the-mouth "perfect" medialunas 🥐☕ Sat outside Parisian style.

Came here for breakfast and there was no wait. I got 2 medialunas with ham and cheese and a Spanish hot chocolate. My bf got the American breakfast. I loved the medialunas. They were lightly sweetened and so savory with the cheese and ham. The hot chocolate was quite thick and so chocolatey. My only complaint was I had to pick out a small hair from my food. I tried the cake that came with my bf’s breakfast. It was chocolate and very light. Would have preferred a richer chocolate taste.

Awful service. Rude and dismissive employees. Very ironic then that it was the only restaurant to directly ask for a tip...I said no. Pretty expensive. Some prices were higher on the receipt than the menu. Food is good. Hours are great, the main reason I came here is because they were open before 7am. Location is nice. I appreciate the history and mentions of Cortázar.

It was recommended by the hotel. I just wanted to have a coffee there, but had a sandwich at the end. The food was ok, not one of the best in Buenos Aires. Also the staff was friendly.
