Café Tortoni
No. 30The one cup to order
A cortado with medialunas
Buenos Aires' grand café since 1858, with stained glass, marble and tango downstairs at night. The coffee is the porteño classic: a cortado and something sweet.
Make it at home
The Spanish cortado, cut with warm milk
4 min · 1 small glass. Spain's mid-morning coffee, and Buenos Aires' café order: a shot 'cut' with an equal splash of warm, barely foamed milk, served in a small glass so you can see the line.
