Where to eat and drink in Buenos Aires

On the corner of Hipólito Yrigoyen, the street in which the hostel is, there is a café that sells really good and cheap coffee, sweets and breakfast. You can enjoy it there or bring it with you on your way to school as they make it super quickly.

Ever since I got here I’ve been there everyday, sometimes more than once. You have to try their alfajor de almendras. It’s become an obsession for a lot of the students and I’ve already found a receipt so that I can make them myself when I go back home.

I’m quite the beer enthusiast so I’ve gone to quite a few different gastrobars, but this one is by far the best. They brew their own beer and you can see the entire process inside of the bar and it’s all so good.

What they serve rotates with time, but the bartenders are really helpful to help you find what you’ll like. They also serve great finger foods to accompany the beers. I posted a review of one of their beers on the app Untappd after I went there for the first time and the owners responded in Norwegian.

I found out that half of the owners are Norwegian, they therefore sell some beer from the Norwegian brewery Nøgne, but it’s quite expensive.

A couple of minutes walking from the hostel in Av. De Mayo there’s a burger joint called Saint Burger. They serve great burgers, fries and beer at an extremely cheap price. They have outside seating where we sat plenty of times having burgers and beers.

This is a really pretty restaurant that is situated inside of a Japanese temple. It’s about 10 minutes walking from the hostel and they serve magnificent Japanese food. Ramen, gyoza, karaage – whatever you like.

Literally 2 minutes walking from the hostel there’s a really cozy and nice bar that serves beer for $1.000 (as of December 8th) between 5pm and 8pm everyday. It’s not as fancy as Strange Brewing, but still really good and affordable.

Yet another bar. This one is in San Telmo and it has a very cool vibe. The entire bar is decorated with beer requisites, soccer jerseys and photos. They have a lot of imported beer, especially from Germany. The prices are also good.

Best Korean food I had while in Buenos Aires. Prices are on the steeper side, but the portions are huge and I’ve often taken it back home to eat for lunch the next day.

Such a lovely café for lazy weekend breakfasts. They serve all sorts of breakfasts, lunches and they have all the lovely sweets Argentina is so famous for. Their coffee is also very good!

This is the best breakfast I’ve eaten in Buenos Aires. They have these breakfast deals for two with a variety of foods, sweets, juices and coffee. More expensive than other places, but for sure worth a visit!

This is another restaurant close to the hostel, around 10 minutes walking. They serve some of the best Italian food I’ve had outside of Italy and have an amazing set of wines. We celebrated a lot of birthdays here.
