Located right on the plaza, this corner bar and restaurant is one of San Antonio de Areco's most traditional and atmospheric. Stop in for coffee, empanadas (pastries), sandwiches, a glass of wine, or a steak grilled on the parrilla. When the weather's nice, the outdoor tables are a prime spot for gaucho-watching.
