Bar El Cairo
A historic bar and cultural landmark in Rosario, once a favorite haunt of writer Roberto Fontanarrosa, and known for its Carlitos sandwich.
Bar El Cairo sits on the corner of Santa Fe and Sarmiento streets in the city center and is a cultural symbol of Rosario. Cartoonist and writer Roberto Fontanarrosa and many other literary figures once gathered here, and the nostalgic atmosphere still fills the room. The menu is broad, covering everything from breakfast coffee to full meals. The highlight is the Carlitos, a grilled sandwich invented locally, best paired with a glass of vermut. It's a good place to rest while exploring the pedestrian streets nearby. Reservations are generally not needed, and prices are mid-range.
