Cafe Tortoni (1858): The Oldest Cafe in Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA
It is one of the highlights of Buenos Aires. Located just blocks from the famous Florida Street, Café Tortoni is a must visit place in Buenos Aires. As introduced by the tourist maps and also the locals, Café Tortoni is one of the oldest café in Argentina.
Established in 1858, with the history of more than 150 years old, Café Tortoni caters both the locals and the tourists. Located at Avenida de Mayo 825 ,Buenos Aires City, the café or coffee shop is accessible by public transport such as public busses or the subway.
Some of the metal signs in front of the cafe
As I walked out of the Florida Street, I asked my way to Tortoni. Though most Argentines don’t speak English, the word “Tortoni” definitely helps as most people knew about it.
I walked pass the coffee shop, silly me.
Can you read Spanish?
The entrance of the cafe: Door is huge
As I realized, I stood in front of the grand “Café Tortoni”. The huge large door separated me and a lovely breakfast, yet I was spending sometime outside taking pictures of the metal signs/plates.
As I walked in, the interior was vintage, cultural and posh.
I was greeted by a well dressed waiter who got me to a seat. Like me, the other patrons couldn’t stop snapping pictures of the interior.
Check out the interior, very well maintained
Can you spot the pretty ceiling?

Revisit BA, a wise choice indeed. I should have gone to Uruguay as well. Sigh.

How lovely! I went to a similar cafe in Eastern Europe and was actually overwhelmed by how rich the breakfasts they served were – the eggs were practically inundated in cream! Guess people in the old days knew how to really pack on the extras!!
