Puerto Madero is lined with so many restaurants, covering all different cuisines. Eating outdoors just adds to the experience of being on the water. I was staying in San Telmo which was a little walk away but still doable which was nice before dinner.

One of the areas we enjoyed the most! Restaurants are pricey, but the view from some of them was well-worth it.

I went here on a Sunday afternoon hoping to find a nice place to eat. Lots of restaurants and stores were closed. I walked to Puerto Madero from Hotel Bristol; did not take me that long. I was hoping to see restaurants here with English in the menus. There were several places that offered this. I just happened to walk... More

We stayed in Buenos Aires for 3 nights and went down by foot from Recoleto where our hotel was to the Puerto Madero area on a lovely crisp autumn day.

We enjoyed going for a stroll. We did go to eat to "Sigue la Vaca", the food was ok but the quality fo the meat was not there. We liked going to visit Fragata Sarmiento, the school ship. We tried to grab something to eat at TGI Friday but we left because they took too long to come serve us.

Just walking around. Over priced restaurants. Remember to order sirloin or skirt steak if you are from states otherwise you eat rump roast- a hunk of it as their "good cut"

This place was great to stroll on. It had a lovely setting, with nice restaurants and when the lights came on it looked lovely. It was nice to walk along the waterfront away from the chaotic city!

Lots of stores, restaurants, cafes. There are a few naval museums on the water so get there before 7pm to take advantage.
