8 brunch places in Buenos Aires we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Buenos Aires | Brunch across every city.

Brunch in Buenos Aires layers an imported weekend habit over the city's own merienda, the late-afternoon coffee-and-pastry ritual. Palermo Soho concentrates the contemporary side, with Ninina Bakery on Gorriti, Salvaje Bakery on Avenida Dorrego and Le Blu on Honduras. The classic merienda lives elsewhere: La Biela in Recoleta and Las Violetas in Almagro do it in grand cafe rooms.
