A place worth knowing

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.
