We wanted to try a traditional Argentine breakfast, so we want to the famous Cafe Tortoni for it! There was a slight wait (like 20-30 minutes), that wasn't worth it in my opinion. The service was really, really slow and rude and the food was standard. We had lattes and coffee with orange juice and toast, complete with a spread of jams. The toast was like anything you could find literally anywhere else. The jams were really, really good though! Especially the dulce de leche one! The interior of this place was breathtaking. It was grand/elegant and the high ceilings gave the illusion of space, even though we were all crammed into the space together. In my opinion, there are better places to find breakfast, but this was fun to experience because it is such a staple!
