Café Tortoni, established in Buenos Aires in 1858 and named after its Paris precursor (with Italian roots) has been called "the one café in Buenos Aires that you must visit." We happened upon it accidentally during our first day of walking around the center of the city. Its interior is wonderfully gaudy in 19th C European high fashion, augmented with 20th C models and sculptures to evoke its past. At the bar is a great, shiny coffee-maker. (We didn't visit the live tango performances upstairs.)
