Smeterling's beats them all to a pulp. The individual cake portions are so immaculately prepared you won't want to touch it. The flavors are just velvety smooth in your mouth and the staff are very welcoming! We even got free macarons from the baker who just popped the shells out of the oven - right in front of you. I would fly 20hrs to Buenos Aires again in a heartbeat for Smeterling's.

I tried their pain au chocolat and was disappointed. While flaky, they were dry and not tasty. I've…read morebeen to Paris many times, so I know what a good pain of chocolat is. I didn't dine in, but the interior looks nice and warm. Maybe the other pastries are better.

WOW. Their butter medialunas are the most delicious I have ever tried. I seriously cannot stop eating them. I wake up and go buy them, fresh, warm, and full of flavors that don't dissapoint.

After our evening tour of Recoleta, we ended near several ice cream (really gelato) parlors. I…read moremean, there were seriously 3 within one block. After following the recommendation of our guide, we stopped in for a treat to enjoy on our short walk back to the hotel. We both ordered the same size come and one flavor. Two of the pictured cones were $116 pesos. Within the price range of specialty ice cream shops or gelato spots in the U.S., but it still felt higher than what one would expect to pay in Buenos Aires. Banana Split - 5 stars It really tastes true to its name. It was sweet but not too rich. Extremely creamy. Dulce de Leche con Brownie - 3 stars There was one piece of brownie and it was very rich. Too rich to fully enjoy.

It does not taste very fresh, and it is very sweet. My son ordered what I call an explosion of diabetes. Banana split and white chocolate, and he is complaining he forgot to put chocolate chips. I think it's crazy, it was too sweet already. Im not fond of extravagant sweet juices, coffees or desserts. The place is clean, it looks impecable. The attention of the waiters was great, everybody is very accommodating in all regards.

The ice cream here is like Italian gelato. Though they do also have some that looked on the creamy side. The grapefruit Campari that I had was not overly sweet and did have a boozy aftertaste from the Campari. My wife had the alfajor that had the dulce de leche taste. Delicious to say the least.

It always lives up to the hype. It is the best ice cream I have ever had, hands down. I like to have one scoop of a dulce de leche based flavor and one scoop of a regular cream based flavor (American cookies does quite nicely). I've also gotten the takeaway and it's been just as good in my hotel room as it is in the store. After my first visit in 2013, this place always tops my list of places to visit while in BA.
