Confitería Torres

Frommer's Review

The chef rescued traditional recipes from high society during the late 1800s and gives them a modern flair, turning out dishes such as beef marinated in cilantro, and conger eel with a barnacle sauce -- simple but tasty. On Fridays and Saturdays, the restaurant has live tango music; in the afternoon, the restaurant is a good bet for tea and cakes. Confitería Torres recently inaugurated a new restaurant/cafe within the Centro Cultural, offering the same menu but in a more masculine, modish ambience, with leather booths and a sun-filled nonsmoking area. It's a very attractive place for lunch, but for the real deal, visit their locale on Avenida Alameda.
