A
Confitería Donato
Plenty of dark wood paneling and brass fittings give this place an old-time feel and the wraparound seats may have you lounging around for hours on end. The menu runs the usual confitería gamut, with plenty of sandwiches, cakes and coffee on offer. There is live music Friday to Sunday nights and the occasional tango show – drop in for the schedule.

Dollar Rent-a-Car
Neuquén is a good province to explore by automobile, but drivers should be aware that RN 22, both east along the Río Negro valley and west toward Zapala, is a rough road with heavy truck traffic. On that note, try Dollar Rent-a-Car, the only rental company downtown.

Moscato
The coolest cafe in town styles itself as a café gourmet – which is a stretch, but the set meals (AR$20) are a good deal and it’s a good place for drinks at any time.
