María Castaña
CAFE $
(cnr 25 de Mayo & Rivadavia; snacks AR$30-60; 9am-late)
A favorite at this frilly cafe is
waffles with
dulce de leche;
it's also good for breakfast, sandwiches and ice-cream
sundaes. Grab an overstuffed chair at the back. It also serves more substantial fare.
La Luna
ARGENTINE $$$
(Av Fontana 656; mains AR$45-100; noon-4pm & 7pm-1am)
This chic rock'n'roll restaurant-
bar offers tasty spinach pizza, vegetable crepes, and heaped portions of steak and fries.
The evening crowd spills out of wooden booths and brick nooks, drinking Patagonia's ar-
tisan beers.
Don Chiquino
ITALIAN $$$
(Amhegino 1641; mains AR$80; lunch & dinner)
Of course, pasta is no novelty in Argentina,
but the owner-magician performing tricks while you wait for your meal is. The ambience
is happy-cluttered and dishes such as sorrentinos prove satisfying.
Drinking
Hotel Argentino
BAR
(25 de Mayo 862; 4pm-5am)
This lanky and lowbrow Wild West saloon is much better
suited to drinking than sleeping, but by all means stop by: the owner is friendly, the 1916
construction is stuffed with relics and sculptures, and the place gets more than a little
lively on weekends.
