Argentine chef Fernando Trocca's relaxed all-day café in José Ignacio — pick-and-mix salads, avocado toast, flat whites, and lemon drizzle cake on a terrace overlooking Playa Brava. Perfect breakfast or afternoon stop.
Why It Belongs on the List
Mostrador Santa Teresita is Fernando Trocca's (of Sucre, Buenos Aires) deliberately casual venture in José Ignacio — an adorable pick-and-mix café on a terrace overlooking Playa Brava, serving breakfast through late afternoon. The concept is a salad bar and counter where you compose your plate; there are also eggs Benedict, avocado toast, flat whites, and outstanding baked goods including a lemon drizzle cake that is praised. The most relaxed and accessible high-quality dining in José Ignacio; vegan and vegetarian friendly. Connected to La Huella's hospitality group.
