Buenos Aires, Argentina > Buenos Aires restaurants > Como En Casa Como En CasaLaprida 1782
This Recoleta café attracts the trendy and thin inhabitants of Barrio Norte to come and taste some of the thickest, riches, most decadent cakes and pies.“Like at home,” Como en Casa leaves one as satisfied as Mom’s home-cooked Sunday dinner. Display cases are stacked with thick cakes and frosting whipped up into peaks, lusciously adorned with glazed fruits or shaved chocolate. Como en Casa offers real meals also, with impeccably presented café specialties including vegetable tartas ($8AR), thick sandwiches ($9AR), and big bowls of fancy salads ($15AR). One begins to wonder how they (the waifly thin Porteñas) manage to indulge in such treats and still have figures of 12 year old boys. Regardless, this smooth-lined restaurant fills up its abundant table space, and outdoor garden complete with central fountain area daily. Limited couches to relax on are hard to find seating on but they even offer some reading materials which stray from the common magazines including: literary reviews, theatre summaries, and the latest art shows. Sunday morning, afternoon lunch or evening tea, whatever the occasion its always nice to eat comoen casa. —Como En Casa review by Gena Mavuli
