Confitería Exedra

Frommer's Review

"La Esquina de Buenos Aires" (the corner of Buenos Aires) is the tag name for this place. Like a busy city street corner, every walk of life seems to pass through this exciting cafe. It's graced by a stained-glass-and-blonde-wood wall mural, reminiscent of something out of a 1970s church, and topped off with a glitzy Vegas ceiling. Just like at a church, the old waiter, Victor, with more than 20 years experience here, says, "We serve all." And they do. The crowd here is boisterous, in a mix of formal and informal dress, all enjoying each other's company and checking out whomever is walking on Avenida 9 de Julio, through the huge glass windows. Because this place is popular late at night and is surrounded by some of the special men's clubs, you might find some working girls and a few other dubious creatures hanging out. Still, it's definitely a spot to hit on weekends when looking for a bite to eat after going clubbing. There's a huge selection of drinks on offer, and the prices go up slightly late at night. The menu is a combination of snacks, fast food, and more interesting and substantial things too, such as chicken with pumpkin sauce. The executive lunch menu is US$5 to US$7 (£2.65-£3.70) and dinner is a similar bargain.
