Via Civit

Mendoza


An old-school place popular with locals in an upscale neighborhood, convenient as a stop on the way to or from Parque General San Martín. The coffee and bakery are the draw, but there's a small brunch menu, sandwiches, salads and a few basic pasta and meat dishes. The grand entrance is framed with Roman columns and an oversized clock.
