Haute Spots: Agustin Balbi's guide to eating and drinking well in Buenos Aires
Above Cafe Tortoni, an iconic café that opened in 1858, is iconic to Buenos Aires, Argentina () My go‐to breakfast spot is... Cafe Tortoni, an iconic café that opened in 1858. In its basement is a stage for jazz and tango as well as literary performances. Over the years, it has welcomed many renowned figures, including Argentine politicians Lisandro de la Torre and Marcelo Torcuato de Alvear, popular idols Carlos Gardel and Juan Manuel Fangio, and international luminaries Albert Einstein and Hillary Clinton. For a first‐time visitor to Buenos Aires, you shouldn't miss… Obelisco, situated on the widest avenue in the world, 9 de Julio. Other notable landmarks include the Teatro Colón and the Plaza Ateneo library, which is housed inside a theatre.

Aramburu, a fine‐dining restaurant known for its modern Argentine cuisine of the highest calibre. Rendezvous away to the charming bar after dinner, and perhaps end the night in the historic neighbourhood of San Telmo to immerse in the vibrant tango culture of Buenos Aires. In case you missed it: The most romantic restaurants in Singapore for date nights A beloved restaurant is... El Preferido en Palermo, best known for its elevated interpretations of Argentine classics. The delicious plates are a true showcase of how the people of Buenos Aires eat at home. The restaurant also boasts amazing gelato and makes its charcuterie in‐house. The best bar I've been to in Buenos Aires is... Florería Atlántico. This acclaimed bar comes highly recommended and is widely recognised in the world of mixology for its innovative craft cocktails. My favourite cocktail is the Ostende, a tropical fruit cooler with a herbaceous splash of absinthe. It is a must‐visit spot for a taste of the vibrant nightlife of Buenos Aires. Above Caminito street in La Boca at Buenos Aires, Argentina () My favourite way to spend a day in Buenos Aires is… to start with a museum visit. But not just any museum; it is the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (Malba). After that, I enjoy a leisurely walk around Recoleta, visiting the Palermo lakes. For lunch, I look forward to indulging in a delicious Milanesa at a traditional bodegón (family-run restaurant). In the afternoon, head toward La Boca and stroll through the iconic streets of Caminito; make sure to see La Bombonera, the home stadium of the world-famous football team Boca Juniors. To relax, the historic San Telmo is your best bet, and I usually find myself in a nice parrilla for dinner. Of course, end your day with a spectacular tango show. Above Don't leave Buenos Aires without trying Argentine asado () Don't leave Buenos Aires without trying... Argentine asado (grilled meats). For an authentic plate, head to Don Julio in Palermo. My friends Pablo Rivero and Guido Tassi currently run this establishment, which was awarded a Michelin star and a Michelin Green star, and topped the 2024 Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants list. It offers the highest‐quality beef, sourced from the same Argentine producers in Cañuelas as we do at my restaurant Andō (in Hong Kong). Make sure to try the beef empanada, among other local specialities, paired with the finest Argentine wines.

Sources: Real Madrid plan major defensive reinforcement with three key signings
Real Madrid are focused on strengthening their defensive line by targeting young, promising talents to ensure a bright future for the club. In that regard, according to reports from Fichajes, the Spanish giants have identified three key players who fit their strategy: Jon Aramburu, Giorgio Scalvini, and Miguel Gutierrez. Aramburu, the 22-year-old right-back for Real Sociedad, has emerged as one of the standout performers in La Liga in recent years. His ability to contribute both offensively and defensively makes him a valuable asset. Aramburu's pace and capacity to provide depth on the right flank, coupled with his strong defensive skills, have made him a pivotal part of Real Sociedad's tactical setup. His impressive performances have caught the attention of several top clubs, but Real Madrid seem the most determined to secure his services. Meanwhile, 21-year-old Scalvini has been making waves in Serie A as one of Atalanta's key defenders. Despite his young age, Scalvini has displayed remarkable composure and maturity on the field. His height, tactical awareness, and ability to distribute the ball efficiently have earned him recognition across Europe. Real Madrid view him as a strategic addition who could strengthen their defensive core and provide a long-term solution in the centre-back position. On the left side of the defence, Gutierrez has been making significant progress at Girona. At 23, the former Real Madrid Castilla player has developed into one of the best full-backs in La Liga. His ability to support attacking plays, combined with excellent ball-handling skills and sharp game vision, makes him a standout performer. Although his initial stint at Real Madrid's senior team was brief, his time at Girona has been instrumental in his growth, positioning him as a strong candidate for a return to the Bernabeu.
