In a non-touristic neighborhood as Villa Devoto, in the northwest side of our city, is located one of the most traditional Porteño cafes: the Café de García (García’s Cafe). An old building from 1900 you’ll find this special place -which is among the Buenos Aires Notable Cafes- famous for its “picadas”. The “picadas” are meals formed by a large offer of different ingredients as colds, cheeses and other delicatessen.
In the neighborhood where Diego Maradona, a frequent visitor of the place, lives, and where he’s left may autographed posters. The place has a great patio for a cold beer in the spring afternoons. It also has an amazing place inside, decorated by old pictures of great sportsmen and culture representatives, the original score of the tango “Nostalgias” by Enrique Cadícamo and great live music.
In the corner of Sanabria and José Pedro Varela streets, in the heart of Villa Devoto, a sign with the name of the café shows in the middle of an old streetlight, a water pump and the wooden-wheel of traditional a wagon. All of them are objects of the time when Metodio and Carolina, the founders and fathers of the current owners, started a humble café which became a Porteño myth.
The idea is to spend a day walking the beautiful streets of Devoto, one of the greenest neighborhoods of our city, and to try the famous “picadas” of the Café de García (we recommend the super picadas of 30 ingredients). You can visit the café from Mondays to Fridays, 6AM to 9.30PM and Saturdays, 7AM to 2.30PM. We suggest you to make a previous reservation due to the high demand.
