The best burgers in Buenos Aires
It all started in 2017 in a small, homey space where César and his team baked breads meant to be shared with friends. 'At that time, we noticed many artisanal burger joints didn't value the bread, so we saw an opportunity: we could solve that crucial gap,' he says. That's how The Flour Store was born, first as a specialized bakery with a healthy, additive-free approach, quickly becoming a word-of-mouth favorite.
'Before, bread wasn't seen as an essential part of a good burger. But when we started talking about bread as the star, something changed. Now many places had to improve their recipes,' César explains. The brand grew fast, received orders from renowned burger joints, and was even contacted by Alsea, Burger King's supplier. In 2018, they built a 600m2 production facility, enabling them to supply a select group in the burger circuit with uncompromising quality bread.
In 2021, they doubled down: if they were already making the best bread, why not make the best burger too? Thus was born their location on Humahuaca, in Almagro, where they bake daily both the bread—with 40% natural potato—and the patties made from premium ribeye from export-grade meat. 'From day one it was a frenzy. By 8 pm, more than 80 people were waiting outside, so we had to open earlier,' César recounts. Demand was so high they even had to pause delivery app orders for a while.
Besides premium meat and homemade bread, The Flour Store offers a top-notch selection of craft beers—over 130 styles—wines, and rare drinks not usually found in burger spots. 'We don't use photo styling or sell smoke: no photos on the menu, and what you see on socials are real pictures posted by customers. 100% real,' he assures. With seven years of experience, local and international media recognition, and mentions in guides like Eater and Cuisine & Vins, The Flour Store is a clear benchmark in the Argentine burger scene.
