Buenos Aires has many buildings reminiscent of the Belle Époque, and the movie that makes us all think of that era is *Titanic*. Did you know that Buenos Aires has a Belle Époque-style restaurant just like the one on the *Titanic*, and you can visit it?
The Belle Époque restaurant in Buenos Aires that looks like it came straight out of *Titanic*, where TV shows and movies have been filmed
If you love the Belle Époque and mansions where everything is wood, moldings, and antique chandeliers, imagine dining in a restaurant with those period details and feeling transported back to the era of the characters from *Titanic*. That’s exactly how you’ll feel when you step into this Buenos Aires restaurant that preserves its Belle Époque charm. It’s located in the Microcentro and is called The New Brighton.
Stepping into The New Brighton, right in the heart of downtown Buenos Aires, is like walking through a door into 1912 and boarding the Titanic. Its decor, as we mentioned, is Belle Époque-style, featuring woodwork, stained-glass windows, antique lamps, and even a grand piano that perfectly recreates the atmosphere of luxury we all know from *Titanic*.
The building that houses this restaurant opened in 1908 as a fashion boutique and soon became the gathering place for Buenos Aires high society. The passage of time took its toll, and it suffered years of neglect until it was restored to its original splendor in 2007, making it one of the most spectacular Belle Époque bars and restaurants.
This remarkable restaurant and bar features hand-carved English cedar paneling, colorful stained-glass windows, solid-wood bars, and mirrors reminiscent of the Titanic’s salons. Plus, on many nights, they feature live music on their grand piano.
A remarkable Belle Époque bar where you can travel back in time with themed dinners
The New Brighton has a very cinematic style, which is why the restaurant has served as a filming location for movies and TV series. In addition to closely resembling the Titanic’s restaurant, this restaurant was designated a “bar notable.” The New Brighton is more than just a restaurant: it’s a journey into the splendor of the Belle Époque. If you’ve ever dreamed of dining as if in the salons of the Titanic, there’s a place in Buenos Aires where your fantasy becomes reality.
In addition to being the oldest “bar notable” in Buenos Aires, the Brighton hosts a Gala Night every Friday —an experience that combines a dinner with a live show and musical performances. Plus, on Saturdays, this “bar notable” offers live piano music by candlelight. We recommend making a reservation for both nights and themed dinners.
