Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Given the homey atmosphere, La Mama is a
very fitting name for this Italian trattoria in a
red brick house alongside La Cañada. This is
the perfect place to share a bottle of wine with
one of their many antipastos or fresh fruit and
cheese platters.
Confiterias
If you've already been to Buenos Aires, you
undoubtedly discovered that cafés are an inte-
gral and quite pleasant part of the Argentine
lifestyle. Córdoba's temperate climate and
lovely plazas and pedestrian malls are perfect
for outdoor cafés.
Our first two
selections are
diagonally
across from each
other on the
Plaza San
Martín.
CONFITERÍA DE LA PLAZA
Avenida Buenos Aires on Plaza San Martín
Located across the plaza from the Cathedral
and the Cabildo, the Confitería de la Plaza has
been an institution in Córdoba for years, and so
will it continue to be. It reminds us of the very
traditional St. James in Buenos Aires, with its
antique organs, dark paneled walls, and
antique cash registers and typewriters all
about. The upstairs tables offer a fine vantage
point for watching the “goings-on” in the plaza,
or sit at one of the many outdoor tables.
A lovely spot for
tea in the after-
noon or a light
meal.
CAFÉ SOROCABANA
Calle San Jerónimo on Plaza San Martín
Umbrellas top the tables at the equally popular
Café Sorocabana. In addition to pastries and
finger sandwiches, the Sorocabana features
pizza, and is just right for lunch.
