La Morada — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

This restaurant is a cafe/bar, now called Fernet Branca.

There are 2 tvs here but volume is turned very low hence not intrusive.

I like the retro interior filled with old posters, assorted alcohol bottles and paraphernalia from the 50s.

I had a very satisfying lunch - it was called Pastry Zapallito Pollo y Queso - a pastryless, stew consistency chicken, zucchini, onion and cheese pie with flat bread served in a little paper bag.

I found it very pleasant.

Good service too, for once I didn't have to wait half hour for staff to approach.

Glad I found this place before I left town.

Warning they are closed weekends and don't open week days until close to lunch time - I went 3 times before I...

Cute place embellished with collectables from the past. We went to try out the empanadas based on recommendations from a couple local guides. We tried the beef, chicken and onion and cheese filled empanadas. The crust to filling ratio was off for our preferences and the empanadas were not hot out of the oven so we did not enjoy them as much as the previous place we had just tried earlier that day. This rating is just purely in the empanadas. The service was good and the ambiance was nostalgic for those who like old collectables. It looks like a fun place for drinks...

Authentic Argentinian food. Small place was packed with local office workers. Server helped us translate some and showed us others food so we'd better understand the menu. Had a bean and meat soup and they offered the spicy flavoring on the side, which was kind. I did add it to my soup and it was not overly spicy. Empanadas were excellent. Highly recommend it if you can...
