Cafe Libreria Proa


Av. Don Pedro de Mendoza 1929
Buenos Aires, Argentina

… more pix on Google Maps, Yelp and TA.

Def will return: great view and service, fresh food; a skylight and terrace seating looking out to Riachuelo/creek.

It’s on the second floor of the Fundación Proa / Proa Museum.

Simple decor, modern and clean. Large portion.

It’s a pit stop for us. We shared their Cured Ham and Cheese Platter. It’s huge portion and too much cheese – this is also my observation that they’re very liberal with cheese. Too many cows, that they couldn’t get ride of the cheese -:)

The bread is yummy, so is the hard bagel, which is a first for me. Nothing to pick, except the thick prosciutto – is it their way to serve the ham? Last time at Croque Madame Palacio Paz, which served prosciutto even thicker.

Argentine is a huge country and Spanish is a major language. So I’m not surprise that not many Argentine in service sector speak English. I don’t speak the language but able to make the server understand that I’d like take a pic of their house wine. When it comes to eat, my survival instinct works well, apparently. Thanks to the server 🙂

By the time we leave at 1:45, the terrace began to have shade and a couple sat out there.
