A beautifully restored historic Buenos Aires café-bar serving classic porteño comfort food, vermouth, and one of the city’s best old-school atmospheres.
Why It Belongs on the List
First opened in the 1930s, Los Galgos is one of Buenos Aires’ great revived cafés — preserving the spirit of traditional porteño bar culture while updating the menu with thoughtful modern cooking. Marble counters, wood paneling, vintage signage, and waiters in white jackets create an atmosphere that feels timelessly Buenos Aires. The menu mixes Argentine classics with excellent cocktails, vermouth, sandwiches, and late-night comfort dishes.
