10 gastro projects revitalizing downtown Buenos Aires
Another opening that brought new life to the Microcentro in recent months. Acuario Bar is the project of a group of friends, notable for its location. A beautiful corner at Suipacha and Paraguay, where the iconic Bonet building stands, built in the 1930s by Catalan architect Antonio Bonet Castellana following Le Corbusier's principles, intended as an artists' atelier.
Painted blue, its unique design is impossible to miss (and demands a photo). There are some tables on the sidewalk and a small room with a mirrored bar where blue remains the protagonist. They define themselves as 'a modern classic,' and among their clientele of artists, actors, and musicians, those under 40 dominate. The menu features wines from small producers from Mendoza, Jujuy, San Juan, and Salta, classic aperitifs, and highballs. Snacks include marinated olives, anchovies from Hernán Viva with butter, cheese boards, and vitel toné.
