Café Retiro
This cafe is part of the Café Café consortium and, as such, there is nothing spectacular about the food, but it is high quality, consistent, and inexpensive. You'll find a great range of coffees and teas, as well as desserts and sandwiches, perfect for a quick bite before catching a train. The main point of dining here is to enjoy the restored elegance of the original cafe, which was part of Retiro Station when it was built in 1915. It is now one of the cafés notables,the interiors of which are considered historically important to the nation. The marble has been cleaned, the bronze chandeliers polished, and the stained-glass windows have been restored, allowing a luminescent light to flow in. This cafe is ideal if you are taking a train from here to other parts of Argentina and the province, such as Tigre, or if you've come to admire the architecture of Retiro. (From Frommers)

Ravioli Bolognese
Really good pasta in an interesting restaurant. Real Bolognese sauce made with small chunks of meat instead of ground meat. The sauce had just a little bit of fresh tomato and lots of beef stock flavor. Best I have ever had.

Dinner Wednesday
We were tired after the all night flight. We rested instead of eating lunch. We were hungry by 5:30, but there aren't many placescto eat dinner then, so we went to a good pizza place up the street.
