El Cuartito
Pizza on Talcahuano, with a late finish. A straightforward reason to stop for lunch or turn an evening walk into dinner.
Food & drink Buenos Aires
Pause at a Recoleta café where a long-running meeting place and the life of the surrounding square come together.
La Biela anchors a familiar Recoleta corner with views towards Plaza Francia. Recognised as a Bar Notable, it makes room for both a coffee and a straightforward meal, with a history of visits by artists, sportspeople and public figures.
The attraction is the pause as much as the menu. Choose it when you want to sit in Recoleta and watch the neighbourhood rather than turn the café itself into a hurried sightseeing stop.
