Café San Juan is a San Telmo institution run by chef Leandro Cristóbal, serving market-driven Argentine cooking with Mediterranean influences in a warm, tile-floored space that feels genuinely lived-in. The daily specials board is the thing to order from — whatever is freshest that day — and the house wine is excellent value. It's perpetually busy and doesn't take reservations for small groups, so arrive early or expect a wait.
