Florida Garden might appear to be just another cafe, but in fact it’s quite historically significant – or at least that’s the claim. According to the owners, writers like Jorge Luis Borges would come to the cafe and have a coffee and pastry while they wrote. Whether or not that is true, the cafe is in a beautiful Belle Epoque building and remains a prime location for a quick coffee and pastry while walking on Florida Street.

serving pretty much all day long, lunch and dinner focused on Italian food - particularly pastas - in fact, they're calling it a "pasta bar". The "they" behind this light, airy space are the owners who are also behind Sottovoce, El Burladero, Fervor, and Sexto - some of my favorite spots in town for different cuisines. Not surprisingly, it's well run, very professional, and very attentive.
