Alfajores marplatenses
are an absolute must.
Although most would swear otherwise, these
chocolate or caramel-filled pastries are what
keeps vacationers coming back to Mar del Plata
year after year. Afternoon tea is a ritual here
and Mar del Plata probably has more
confiterÃas
per block than any other Argentine
city and every afternoon, especially in high sea-
son, each and every one of them is crowded,
with a plate of
alfajores
at the center of every
table.
RESTAURANTE LA MARCA
Almafuerte 253
451-8072
International/Parrilla
Moderate
Slightly out of
the way, but
worth the cab
ride.
Located near the La Loma cemetery, La Marca
would easily fit in among the restaurants in La
Recoleta in Buenos Aires. Wood dominates the
simple decor of the large dining room, along
with animal hides on the walls. Salads,
parrillada
and pastas are featured dishes.
RESTAURANTE SORTILEGE Y ZABALITOS
Alem 4601 and Pringles, Playa Grande
Sortilege y
Zabalitos and
Trenque
Lauquen de la
Costa are owned
by the same peo-
ple. This is our
favorite of the
two.
489-1155
Italian/International
Open: 12:30-3:30 pm; 8:30 pm-1 am
(closed Monday)
A favorite for more than a quarter of a century,
this large restaurant specializes in pasta and
seafood dishes. It is located in a beautiful house
with high, beamed ceilings and large windows
