What to Do During the Week & the Weekend in Buenos Aires

This Monday is Tiramisu Day—and some excuses need no explanation. At La Capitana, a classic bodegón in Almagro, the Coppa Vetturino takes you straight back in time: ladyfingers soaked in coffee with cognac, ultra-smooth mascarpone cream, and a touch of chocolate for the perfect crunch. It’s all served in a cut-glass cup, with that 1940s–50s mystique in every detail.

If you’re more into a chef-driven approach, Punto Mona by Mona Gallosi delivers a version that elevates tiramisu to the next level. Created by Adriana García (from Osvaldo Gross’s team), it blends classic technique with a modern twist: top-quality mascarpone, amaretti cookies for texture and aroma, and a spherical presentation that first wins you over visually.

Looking for a lighter option? At Bochinche, by Gaspar Natiello, balance is key: soft, well-integrated layers that give the dessert depth without losing its lightness.

Good to know: You can book at La Capitana via WhatsApp (+54 11 2395-3956), at Punto Mona through their booking link, and at Bochinche through theirs.

Where: La Capitana, Guardia Vieja 4446, Almagro; Punto Mona, Fraga 93, Chacarita; Bochinche, Santos Dumont 4056, Chacarita.

This Monday from 8pm, there’s a plan at Niceto Club: “Raviolis y Diego Reinhold,” a special show where Raviolis and Diego Reinhold share the stage, mixing music, humor, and unexpected moments in one night.

All proceeds will go to Hogar Mariposa, which supports children in vulnerable situations with care, shelter, and comprehensive assistance. A great chance to enjoy a show while contributing to a meaningful cause.

This week, it’s all about jazz in Buenos Aires—and not just anywhere, but at the legendary Jazz Voyeur Club, hidden in the basement of the Hotel Meliá Recoleta Plaza. The program, celebrating the venue’s 20th anniversary, promises intimate nights with live music and a food offering to match.

Artists like Roxana Amed, Gillespi, Ligia Piro, Deborah Dixon, Javier Malosetti, and Luis Salinas have performed here. Keeping up that legacy, the week kicks off with Why Not Big Band on Monday, continues with Kind Of Blue Project on Thursday, and wraps up with Querido Tom on Saturday.

Good to know: full program and tickets are available online.

Where: Posadas 1557, Recoleta.

March gets sweeter—and very French—with macaron month at Gontran Cherrier. From the 16th through this Sunday, the boulangerie is offering a limited-edition lineup that’s pure indulgence: strawberry & cream, cookies & cream, pistachio crème brûlée, red velvet, Nutella, Snickers, and lemon. All made with classic technique and that perfect balance between crisp shells and soft centers. Spoiler: you’ll want them all.

There’s also a special combo: one infusion + two macarons of your choice for ARS 9,500—perfect for a sweet break or a stylish afternoon snack. If you can’t decide, the 7-flavor box is ARS 21,000 and solves the problem.

There’s a new spot in Palermo ready to break the mold: ZonderFlag, an artist house without labels or borders. More than a venue, it’s a living platform where art meets human connection, cultural diversity, and creative freedom. Exhibitions, residencies, workshops, and events coexist in a four-story house designed to inspire, share, and create without limits.

This Thursday, from 6 to 9pm, Casa Palanti opens its doors for the launch of “Continuo / Continúo,” a new exhibition by Beto De Volder with Clara Caputo and gallery LATERAL. The show marks the beginning of a cultural cycle in this iconic Barrio Parque space, where contemporary art meets unique architecture.

On view until April 29, the exhibition brings together works that dialogue with Argentine geometric abstraction, where line becomes the main character in compositions that feel constantly in motion.

Good to know: Casa Palanti—popularly known as the Round House—is a historic residence built in 1922 by Milanese architect Mario Palanti (also behind Palacio Barolo). Its curved façade, lookout tower, and design inspired by The Divine Comedy make it one of Buenos Aires’ most unique architectural landmarks.

Where: Ortiz de Ocampo 2901, Palermo.

For Friday, the plan is theater: Restorán, the new play by Manuela Amosa, directed by Verónica Mc Loughlin, runs every Friday at 8:30pm at Moscú Teatro. Over 65 minutes, it dives into the behind-the-scenes of a restaurant, where the real main course isn’t on the menu but in the relationships between the people who keep it running.

Amid the intensity of service, Rosa, Claudio, Pepo, and Martín find a moment to pause in the storage room—until something shifts and everything is put at stake. Restorán is about work as a meeting place, laughter as salvation, and coworkers as refuge.

Good to know: tickets are available at the box office and on Alternativa Teatral (ARS 25,000 general, ARS 20,000 for students and seniors).

Where: Juan Ramírez de Velasco 535, Villa Crespo.

This Saturday, Raíces Cocina Casera celebrates its 16th anniversary with a plan true to its spirit: an internal cooking competition where the whole team—alongside chef Fernanda Tabares—creates special dishes for the occasion. Guests can taste the creations and be part of the experience by voting for their favorite.

The best part: the winning dish will be added to the menu. A different kind of celebration where the public gets to decide and engage with the spirit of “Cocina de la Memoria,” a concept that has been preserving traditional Argentine flavors since 2010.

Good to know: if you’d rather skip the competition, you can book a table and order from the regular menu.

Where: Crisólogo Larralde 3995, Saavedra.

This Saturday, Ribs al Río fires things up again with the fourth edition of the Federal Smoked BBQ Championship at its Costanera Norte location. From 12pm to midnight, six pitmasters compete live in a day that blends technique, flavor, and BBQ culture, with a specialized jury and the public playing a key role.

The experience is all-in: each ticket includes ribs, fries, a drink, and the chance to vote for the best pitmaster—plus a riverside setting along the Río de la Plata. As a bonus, there will be a special Charquiqui sampling created just for the event.

Good to know: tickets are available online.

Where: Av. Costanera Rafael Obligado 7010, Belgrano.

Sunday plan, sorted: Zulu opens for an exclusive brunch on special dates—March 29, April 5, and April 12—from 12 to 7pm.
