Buenos Aires series: Eating in La Noire Café.

Hello again! The other day wandering around Buenos Aires and digging into some ideas realized something.. Why haven't I done a serie of small reviews of my favorite places to eat and drink?! Silly me! I love eating, I enjoy coffee, so why not? I expect to do some decent reviews so if you ever come to Buenos Aires, you can have a good bite.

All I'm gonna do is to post photos of my favorite things, oriented to the place itself and of course, what I'm eating at the time. Being real, I can't visit a different place everyday, so I'll take this "little project" one post at time.

I'll start the serie by showing my favorite coffee place of Buenos Aires: La Noire Café. A small, rustic and vintage inspired place located in Bonpland 1173 (Villa Crespo). You can enjoy some specialty coffee and patisserie. One special thing about them: Everything they use is fresh. You won't find any old desserts or fruits. Organic ingredients are their thing, inspired in artisan products.

I found it really cozzy. They play Jazz and some Bossa Nova too, a cool place to relax, read a book or even work! I mean.. Take a look to the previous photo, laptops everywhere. They have a couple of tables outside and in the back they have a small gardening space, a lot of succulents and cactus to look at that gives you that chill and boho vibe. Funny fact: Was the first coffee place I visited since I got here :).

Now, the part we're interested in: The food part. Their menú isn't that large/big, it has variety, yes. You can find different kinds of coffees, teas and infussions; also they offer cold beverages like natural fruit juice. No sodas or beer, that's for sure. This time I ordered two types of toasts, one with creemy goat cheese, pickles and some dill, it was so fresh and tasty! I loved the acidity and the bitterness of the cheese and the pickles mixed. The other one I ordered is called Côte d'Azur, the reason I remember the name of this dish is because its flavor and goodness makes it unforgettable. Raw ham, dried tomatoes and arugula with a base of cream cheese, I want to marry this toast.

Had an espresso, so enjoyable, didn't take a photo because we all know how a cup of heaven looks like. After digestion, was time for a dessert! I'm not gonna lie, they have a small variety of desserts, good enough to remind you of your grandmas cake. They have options for celiacs, like that chocolat bread made with no flour! I personally LOVE IT!

Despite looking a little bit rustic and maybe a little bit rusty, La Noire is my favorite cafeteria, it's actually surprising because none of my baristas friends works there. The prices are good for the quality of the food/coffee. The toasts I ordered cost $160 ARS, argentinan pesos. You can find a coup of coffee in $60 ARS, good quality coffee.

This was my first review, hope it's helpfull to someone who comes to Buenos Aires. I'll keep working on my reviewing skills and this actually gives a good excuse for visting new places. Now I'm hunger for wandering and eating good stuff. I'll see you on the next Buenos Aires series, hopefully an eating edition.
