Our Guestbook
“ An iconic full-service coffee shop near the Recoletta neighborhood in Buenos Aires, this cafe has been serving out classic Argentinians breakfast items like medialunes, toast with cream cheese and jam, to lunch bites. The coffee selection in addition to the usual espresso drinks includes some specialities like Cafe de los maestros, a delectable espresso concoction with chocolate, and a hint of almond flavor. However, the best part about the cafe is the location. Nestled on a corner, you can savor the coffee and food while reading a good book or people watching through the day. The neighborhood, ambience, and the liveried service staff harken to a bygone era which you get to experience in modern times. ”
“ Tabac is a traditional classic spot here in Palermo… service makes you feel at home and they even make their own alfajores… oh and you can get coffee at midnight as expected in every city ”
“ We came for cappuccino and dessert, and it was a capital experience! Very upper crust. The salmon salad was the best-looking salad I have seen in a very long time. All very fresh and tasty as hell! ”
“ Tabac is a classic buenos aires coffee shop. Service: Service is pretty good, the staff is very friendly and they are happy to get you anything you need. Food: The food is okay, probably a tad better than in other places but nothing extraordinary . Prices are quite high and in my opinion not necessarily justified. The coffee is quite bad compared to a especiality coffee house or any pret in europe. Atmosphere: The huge glass windows and the outside parisian style chairs make it a really nice place to sit down for a meal or have a coffee. ”
“ Best club sandwich I have ever had. The coffee and the drinks were delicious as well and the most outstanding part of the visit were the amazing and kind attention of the waiter. ”
