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.
