El Patio — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

One of the nicest and most aesthetically pleasing coffee shops of the whole city. I was wondering around the streets when suddenly a beautiful coffee shop catches my eyes, it was El Patio. I entered and was quickly seated. The waiter took a bit of time to take my order but sadly a lot of the sandwiches were out (a party on another table left because of this). I ended up ordering a salad and a jar of lemonade. The drinks came fast but the salad took a veeeery long time. But it wasn’t a huge problem since I got to enjoy my surroundings while waiting and my waiter even offered me the wifi password.

Sadly the main reason I came to this place – food – was a disappointment. It all came cold. Chicken sandwich was very dry and lacked sauce. French fries that came with the sandwich were also cold and not salty enough. Cinnamon roll is huge but unfortunately also very dry and cold. The Il Patio brunch comes in a tower which was a nice surprise. The avocado toast comes with walnuts and blue cheese which is not mentioned in the menu. The scramble is good. I wouldn’t come here again to eat but I would enjoy sitting here on a quieter day with a coffee and maybe some...
