Bar Notable LOS LAURELES — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

Note you are going here for an experience, not the trendy restaurant in magazines. Starting from there, you would be visiting a different area of BA. It is a very local feeling, which is really good. The place is like a time capsule, it has all the character of an old family resto-bar, where the food is going to taste like your favourite aunt cooked it for you. The owner made space for us on a busy night where most people had a reservation for the live music, that was awesome, we were really grateful. The decor is a collection of mementos from past days, the tables are close to each other to have space for the dance floor, the lights are somewhat dim (thus the not well lit pics), I guess that adds to the intimacy of dancing tango. You would be there as an expectator of a generation of people who have known each other for decades and share the love for tango and milonga, and, I guess, that reminisce about better times. Hubby and I each had an empanada, then a Spanish tortilla and a milanesa, sides were sauted veggies and smashed pumpkin . Flavors were good, and as said before, they felt like comfort food. Had 2 glasses of white, very generously poured, and soda water. Then the music started, an hour of beautifully sang tangos, ballads and something else I can't recall the genre's name... Felt like watching a 4D movie. We spent around AR 14000, including musicians and...

We looking for a location where Argentine people go for tango dancing, not a tourist type tango show. This is a good place for that. We ate pasta and were not too impressed with it, but the service was good. It was a Friday night, we arrived about 8:30. There was an instructor giving tango lessons. We chose to just watch. About 9:30;the place started filling up, and the good dancers started. Then came a guitar player and some really good singers. We really enjoyed the evening. Then bill was Less than $600 pesos. Don't forget to tip t musicians. They pass around the hat. We left about midnight, but they go until 4:00 am. The neighbourhood and the building are a little run down, but that is pretty typical for this kind of place in Argentina. We took Uber both ways for about $6.00 each way. Also, don't forget to tip the driver. They don't make much...

Um dos melhores locais que visitamos em Buenos Aires, fica no bairro de Barracas, um pouco afastado, o taxista fez um terrorismo qdo falamos que iríamos pra lá, tentou a todo custo nos levar ao Señor Tango, disse q seríamos assaltados e não teríamos como voltar, ficou super irritado qdo insisti que iria para o Los Laureles. Ficamos um pouco receosos mas depois descobrimos o motivo, eles ganham uma "propina" qdo levam turistas a tangos famosos.... O Los Laureles nos surpreendeu, fomos super bem recebidos, vinho barato e ótimo, ambiente com pessoas locais, que vão pra se divertir com suas famílias.... Muito simpáticos, comida excelente, provamos as empanadas, uma das melhores q comemos durante a viagem, o milanesa estava espetacular e tbm o petisco de mussarela a milanesa... Teve uma apresentação meio dark, gostei mas não era muito o que esperava.... O bonito foi ver a atenção, admiração e participação que todos do local tinha durante a apresentação, parecia ser alguém que tinha uma certa fama por lá... Casais dançando Tango, muito animados... Dica, vá antes, por volta das 20h tem aula de Tango... As sextas tem música ao vivo, uma pena que fui no sábado.... No final da noite o dono do bar chamou um táxi pra nos, foi super seguro, tranquilo e muito barato.... Vale muitoooo a visita se vc quer algo de raiz, uma Milonga autêntica, barata, com comida excelente, e não um show pirotécnico e pega turista. Minha conta com uma garrafa de vinho, entradas, prato principal deu cerca...
