From Camille Cusumano, The New York Times:
"It’s pretty far from downtown Buenos Aires to this café — about 30 minutes by taxi. But make the trip anyway, for the broad-canopied rosewood trees shading the avenues and for the gargantuan picada at Café de García, opened in 1937. A food saga told in about 30 items, the picada is a kind of gastronomical parade of small dishes, paid for in one overall price."
Reservations required. Serving dinner and late-night Mon–Sat. Special picadas served only Thu–Sat nights with reservations required.
"The picadas especiales are available on Thursday to Saturday from 8pm to 11pm and you are advised to make a reservation. For $80 you are treated to 30 tapas-style dishes, a glass of sparkling wine, a dessert and coffee. The rest of the week there are three or four choices of main meals a day and, if you don’t have time to eat a full meal, I’d recommend a slice of mascarpone lemon cheesecake and coffee."
