Los Galgos Bar — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

Quaint and lively, this corner staple has been serving tasty fare for a long time. On this visit, we stopped in for some lunch based on the reviews and ratings. It could use a little cleaning, but the dust added to the charm. We ordered the tortilla de papas (potato and egg frittata) and sorrentinos de calabaza (pumpkin ravioli). Before our entrees arrived we were presented with a bread plate and butter and two glasses of wine 🍷 (one each included in the price of the meal. The wine, a Cabernet franc, was just the perfect flavor and temperature for a lighter version of a traditional Cabernet. Once the entrees arrived we dug in and were both pleasantly surprised by the flavors and textures. Even though the pictures make the dish look bland, my frittata was rich and savory. The pumpkin ravioli also had a great texture and light filling. We had two more glasses of wine and a coffee... all for $25 USD equivalent! Amazing value so even if not a foodie paradise (limited menu), it was well worth the...

Dare I say that this place is friendly to tourists? I know that’s such a sin in this town. A huge part of a dining experience is the environment and this place nails it. Because Buenos Aires is so traditional with sit down dining it’s very difficult to find a bar that has great drinks and food at a reasonable price and this is it. Truly salvation for a solo traveler, they have a small QR code at the bottom of the menu for an English version (how terrible right?) I ordered the Secretos drink first and was delighted to a completely new flavor with the apricot brandy. I ordered the Green Tagliatelles and was blown away, thin and wide noodles under a breadcrumb and cheese topping with cream sauce, absolutely floored. I almost cried the dining experience and staff were so lovely. I finished the night with an old fashioned 43 and it was STRONG. The absolute hidden gem of the “theater district” I wish you the best of luck and thank you for being...

Decided to visit Los Galgos Bar as it was on the Notable Bars list. The space is not particularly ornate like others on the list, but just a different style. There is a “bouncer” by the entrance, which is odd but don’t let that dissuade you. Service once inside is quite pleasant and quick. Most food items are standard Argentine fare, but don’t well. Don’t expect fine dining though. We ordered the Merluza a la milanesa con papa natural (hake Milanese with boiled potatoes) and the Buñuelos de acelga con corazón de muzzarela con alioli picante (chard fritters) and both were very tasty, quite healthy if you don’t want a heavy lunch. Of course we ended up being tempted by the Budín de medialunas con manzana caramelizada y crema batida (bread pudding made with croissants instead of bread) but we swapped the whipped cream for dulce de leche instead. This I would absolutely recommend ordering as it was...
