Congreso Restaurants

Emily
Juan D. Peron 2202 (@ Uriburu); Tel. +(011.54.11) 4953-0489
$-$$. Located to the east of Once, occupying a prominent corner only a few blocks walk from Congress, sits the Emily Café and Bar. The café is themed upon the stern-featured face of Emily: an icon borne of the States and bordering on Gothic. But this is not another exercise in brands broadening their product scope: some would bring up intellectual property rights; others would simply call it a fans paean to a beloved image...

Cervantes II
J.D. Perón 1883 (@ Riobamba); Tel. +(011.54.11) 4372-5227
$$-$$$. Cervantes II is so unexciting to look at that until your food arrives at the table you will be scratching your head wondering what the big secret is. Locals in the know, however, understand that this is the place to head for giant plates of delicious, fresh food and killer parilla...

Federico
1402 Avenida de Mayo (@ San Jose); Tel. 1402 Avenida de Mayo (@ San Jose)
$$-$$$. Despite it’s lacking in the style department, Federico manages to offer up some reasons to stop by. It’s a large space with a roomy upstairs and creative furnishing from high, barstool type window seats to cozy corner couches...

36 Billares
Avenida de Mayo 1265 (@ Salta); Tel. +(011.54.11) 4381-5696
$$$-$$$$. Gorgeous, attentive, and historical cafes like 36 really give the feeling that the tour buses that only park in front of Café Tortoni are missing out. 36 is a lovely, less-touristed alternative located in a mirrored location just on the opposite side of the famous Avenida 9 de Julio. Founded in 1894, 36 gives the impression that if walls could talk, they’d have a lot of deliciousness to share...

La Esquina del Medio y Medio
Perón 1602 (@ Montevideo); Tel. +(011.54.11) 4371-6212
$$$-$$$$. Medio y Medio (meaning half and half) takes its name from a Uruguayan tradition of adding half juice or other mixer to liquor to “stretch the drink” during tough financial times. A trip to this warm, inviting, centrally located gem of Argentine-Uruguayan cuisine, however, reveals that nothing in the place has been scrimped on, cut back, nor otherwise neglected...

Tridente Resto Bar
Rivadavia 1201 (@ Libertad); Tel. +(011.54.11) 4381.0488
$$. Tridente Resto Bar is a spacious café and bar close to the action of downtown and the major thoroughfare of 9 de Julio, yet set back on Rivadavia before it becomes an avenue. Offering a quiet spot within the heart of the city is no easy task, but Tridente’s high ceiling and broad spaces, offer just that. They make use of their corner location with large windows letting in light and which give customers a view of Argentine street-life...

Tenedor Libre Buffet | All you can eat buffet
Avenida de Mayo 1423 (@ Uruguay)
$-$$. Slightly east of Congreso, tucked between various construction projects, awaits the Tenedor Libre Buffet. There is nothing exciting about the exterior – they solely rely on bloated block letters on the window to pull in customers. It is a simple game – all the food you can eat for one price...

Café de las Madres de Plaza de Mayo
Hipólito Yrigoyen 1584 (@ Plaza Congreso); Tel. +(011.54.11) 4381-1046
$$. It seems only fitting that the Madres should open their University, administrative offices, and bookstore overlooking the Plaza Congreso in the middle of downtown Buenos Aires. Here, in their modest headquarters, these brave women continue their 30-year quest for answers to what became of their children and grandchildren. A wander through the Plaza should be accompanied by a trip to their café and bookstore...

Bellegamba Bodegón
Rivadavia 2138 (@ Rincon); Tel. +(011.54.11) 4951.5833
$-$$. Two blocks west of the seat of Congress rests the Bellegamba Bodegón, self described as ‘a place with History’. The bodegón (cheap restaurant) is a stylish yet unpretentious locale with an emphasis on drinking, but with a self-service selection of food hidden away in its rear. Combining a dedication to the history of Argentina, with an always open policy, and stylish décor, Bellegamba attracts a young, socialising crowd with a slightly hip edge...
