LA CONVENCION DE SAN TELMO
Carlos Calvo 375
4300-9246
Continental/French
Lunch and dinner; closed Sunday evenings.
Tango show nightly
Expensive
Even as we enter the next millenium, La
Convención remains faithful to 19th-century
Buenos Aires. Set in a restored mansion which
dates back to 1870, the decor features antiques
and furnishings characteristic of the turn of the
century. Black and white photos of old Buenos
Aires and of famous tango performers help to
set the mood. The menu is simple. The roast
chicken and fine herbs, the steak with pommes
frites, and the trout sautéed in a black butter
sauce with capers are highly recommended.
You'll also find a fine selection of salads and
lighter fare. Come in the evening for the Tango
Show or at lunchtime when local politicians
and business people engage in a dance of their
own.
