    El Tonel Kiosko

    For a funky good time, check out the second-largest wine barrel in Argentina; it's at the kiosk just across the Puente Viejo. Take a gander at the goods inside, or sit down for coffee or mate, but don't expect a traditional café or many tables; it's a very eclectic place run by an odd couple.

    La Olla de Cobre

    If you’re looking for a gift of artisanal chocolates or alfajores (cookie-type sandwiches), try La Olla de Cobre. You can sit down for a coffee or drinking chocolate as well.
