COLETTE this restaurant is located on the large street side of the Museo de Bellas Artes. There is a good amount of outdoor seating, both open air and covered, and the service was efficient and pleasant. We were hungry in the late afternoon so we stopped in to share a focaccia sandwich and a piece of cake. The focaccia sandwich was delicious and enormous and plenty for two to share, the cake also was generous in size and quite tasty.

Lionel was my server, and he was so friendly and sweet. He made sure to be very attentive during the service, and helped me decide on what to eat. Such a friendly guy and if I stayed longer on my trip I would have came back again. Food was decent too and it’s right next to Bella’s Artes so easy to get a drink/food right before you get into the museum. Very pretty inside as well

¡Qué lindo lugar! Ya el barrio es privilegiado por el parque, las vistas, la gente de paseo disfrutando y a eso se le suma este ambiente amplio, bien atendido y bien servido. ue parte de un paseo más largo, per sin dudas el punto culminante. Los precios no son exagerados.
