A place worth knowing

Hot chocolate and churros remain the reason to stop at La Giralda on Avenida Corrientes. Its story began as a dairy shop in 1930; after a closure in 2018, the café reopened in 2021 following a restoration that preserved its familiar character.

There is also food for lunch and dinner, but a sweet pause makes an easy introduction. Fit it around Corrientes rather than rushing through with a takeaway coffee.
