Glasses gleaming on the gantry, outdoor tables and bow-tied waiters make this a great cafe. Top espressos, beer served as if it were Bollinger and thirst-quenching licuados (blended fruit drinks; AR$60) are the highlights. Given the decor it would be cooler if the soundtrack veered closer to jazz than mindless pop, but that's just us.
