Bar Británico

Despite the evolution in the neighborhood from the former stomping ground of Argentine elite to the urban playground of students and travelers, you will always find a taste of the classic barrio at the famous Bar Britanico. Writers, lovers, politicians and locals frequent this Buenos Aires landmark to enjoy its simple menu, the sights of Parque Lezama looming across the street, and the (somewhat) gentle sounds of cars bumbling over the cobblestoned Defensa street. Avoid stopping in on a Sunday when Defensa is overtaken by the antique fair; your coffee will taste better on a less hectic morning or afternoon.
