Do Russia and Argentina have things in common? Apart from a Russian sauna in downtown Buenos Aires, now the city adds a restaurant where you can eat Russian food served by its owner. A Russian cafeteria and restaurant that takes you with its menu directly to St. Petersburg.
Where to eat Russian food a few meters from the Obelisk
In Buenos Aires you can eat a Russian picada and much more in this Russian cafeteria a few meters from the Obelisk: Café Babalu. Its owner is passionate about gastronomy and chose Microcentro to offer breakfasts and lunches with that Russian touch without having to travel or move far away.
The space is bright and elegant, ideal to enjoy a coffee in the morning or a good drink in the evening. If you work near Av. 9 de Julio and Paraguay, you can definitely stop by this Russian cafeteria to have a different lunch, because in its menu you will find a reflection of classic dishes with a special touch: Draniki (potato rosti with salmon, poached egg and cream cheese), Grenki (typical Russian rye toast) and if you go with more people, even a Russian picada.
Of course, vodka is a must. But consider that you will have to learn how to drink vodka like a Russian. If you are looking for a different experience in Buenos Aires, this new Russian cafeteria promises to surprise with its cuisine and to give your lunches with your colleagues at the office a topic of conversation.Russian after office? Why not. It looks like the ideal place to leave a week of work behind, well behind.
