Loreto

Located in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Colegiales, enjoy a low-key relaxing lunch at this family-owned spot. Situated in a converted house in the middle of a residential zone, the familiarity is felt instantly upon arrival. You can choose to sit in a backyard garden, front yard patio or main indoor dining room. The restaurant serves up tasty, unpretentious food consisting of elaborate salads, sandwiches, main dishes and desserts. Try house favorites, like the Lord Hector hamburger, a homemade beef patty with brie cheese and caramelized onions. Alternatively, you can try the Roger Sandwich, which is fully packed with grilled chicken, guacamole, arugula, sun dried tomatoes, brie, parmesan and cream cheese: all served on freshly baked focaccia bread. - Alexandra Lazar
