Expreso Pocitos
A century-old cafe opened in 1910, famous among locals for its Canadian-style chivito steak sandwich.
This traditional cafe opened in 1910 and was renovated at the end of 2016. It is located at Juan Benito Blanco 956 in Pocitos, near Avenida Brasil and about two blocks from the beach. The signature dish is the Canadian-style chivito: tender beef with ham, mozzarella, bacon, olives, mayonnaise, and a fried egg, usually served with a large portion of fries, though a platter version is also available. Open from early morning until after midnight, it is a great place to stop for a meal after a stroll along the coast. No reservation information was found.
