The Room

Café Margot opened in Boedo in 1904 — a senior 1900s tango-era café institution. One hundred and twenty-one years later the room is one of Buenos Aires's most-historic neighbourhood-café destinations and a Bar Notable designation by the City of Buenos Aires.

The dining room is intentionally tango-era: dark wood, marble tables, original 1900s fixtures, the sandwich and milanesa cabinet visible from the entrance.

The Food

The kitchen runs a sandwich-de-miga and milanesa programme — house-roasted ham and turkey, tomatoes, the seasonal-rotating preparations.

Coffee programme is Argentine. The wine programme is short and accessible.

Best Occasion Fit

Solo Dining: Café Margot's tango-era counter is one of Buenos Aires's most-historic solo-dining seats.

First Date: The marble tables at Café Margot are one of Boedo's tango-era first-date seats.

Birthday: Birthdays at Café Margot are warm, neighbourhood-café affairs the institution has hosted for over one hundred and twenty-one years.
