Bar Británico

Bar Británico review Rate it

Bar Británico has been set quietly on an iconic San Telmo corner since time immemorial - that is, for pedants, since 1928. Days blur into nights in this perfect BA café-bar, where you can nurse a tiny coffee - not great coffee, it's true, but coffee -or a beer for as long as you like, as you and the taxi drivers watch the world go by through huge picture windows. A change of ownership and a refurbishment had the whole barrio up in arms a couple of years ago, and though it's not exactly as it was - the old-school, Spanish Civil War waiter-owners are gone, and the the toilets are now fit for use - this place still, it's no exaggeration to say, encapsulates the very essence of Buenos Aires café culture.
