El Obrero Trattoria

Cantina El Obrero

A typical neighborhood trattoria, on its walls we see taped pictures of tango characters and soccer players. Cheap and abundant dishes (we recommend rabas and homemade pasta). Waiter Guille recommends dishes and serves desserts made by his mother. To leave with a full belly and happy heart!

To go from your vacation apartment rental in Buenos Aires take a taxi as this area is pretty dark and there are no many police officers.

Tipping

Propinas (tips) range 10%-15% in bars and restaurants (10% is enough in a casual cafe or if the bill runs high). Note that some restaurants charge a cubierto, covering table service, not waiter's tip. Argentines round off a taxi fare, though some cabbies who frequent hotels popular with tourists seem to expect nmore. Hotel porters should be tipped at least 3 pesos. Also give doormen and ushers about 3 pesos. Beauty and barber shop personnel generally get around 10%.

Gay & Lesbian Travel

In Buenos Aires, local attitudes towards same-sex couples are tolerant, and there are numerous gay bars, organizations, and publications. In the rural areas and small towns of Argentina, people are less accepting; still, though you may find people staring at public displays of affection, you shouldn't encounter any hostility.
