Honduras 6100 Palermo Hollywood, Buenos Aires

This cosy little corner café on the outskirts of Palermo Hollywood is a definite must for all lovers of trendy yet relaxed casual dining.  Located close to BA’s famous antique market, Mercado de las Pulgas, this chic establishment is the ideal place to sit back, share a dish or two with friends and watch the eclectic mix of BA socialites sip espresso’s and openly discuss their latest plastic surgery procedure.

While the inside section of this cafe restaurant is very classy with high ceilings, old hanging lamps and chalk boards displaying the ‘platos de dias’, the main draw card is the amazing roof top garden and alfresco dining area.  Large, comfy lounges contrasted with antique steel chairs create an idyllic environment, perfectly tailored for the BA sunshine.  I would recommend getting there before 12 on a weekend as it is slowly starting to become more and more popular with locals looking to steal an afternoon away in the sun…I even saw someone bring sunscreen lotion today 

The food is exceptional!  Freshly baked pizzas, a multitude of sandwich combinations, tasty tapas dishes, sizeable mains and sumptuous cakes (check out the dessert counter when you walk in) make it worth the journey alone but the stand out is the brunch.  Served Sunday’s until 2pm and costing $170 ARS per person (around £24), this mammoth feast surely has something for everyone.  Included is granola, fresh tropical fruit, yoghurt, toast, scrambled eggs and bacon, fajitas (chicken and beef), scones with jam and cream, coffee and orange juice…it’s amazing!!!  They also have a top selection of fresh juices as well as signature juice combinations such as lemon/mint and orange/passion fruit…they’re delish!

Overall – Decata Palermo Hollywood is a fantastic place to take a load off and enjoy great food and great company all while relaxing in the BA sunshine…aces in my book and will continue to return!  You can find them on Facebook here – http://www.facebook.com/DecataPalermo
