February kicks off at full speed (and here we share our favorite plans for the second month of 2026). Buenos Aires comes alive with plans that blend food, music, culture, shopping, shows, and sports—an ideal agenda to stretch the days, step out of the air conditioning, and make the most of the porteño summer.

From after-office drinks at sunset to shared tables and late-night shows, this weekend and the days around it are packed with excuses to make plans and stay out. All that’s left is to choose where to start… and let the agenda do the rest.

1. Long Weekend at Silvino

This Monday, from 7 pm, Silvino opens its doors for a special pop-up with Lardo & Rosemary—a night where the creative fire of Gaspar Natiello meets Martín Tuñón’s brigade to create a cosmopolitan, dynamic, no-rules menu. Expect house classics, off-menu dishes, and a clear invitation: come to eat well, taste, share, and go with the flow.

The food comes with proper pairings: Club Vilardo pours wines from small and medium producers, by the glass or bottle. Designed for sharing, the menu mixes omnivore, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, with crudos, fried bites, baos, croquettes, sea and garden dishes, and a spoon-worthy sweet finish. From 7 pm you can drop by the bar in relax mode; from 8 pm, tables are available with prior reservation. Important note: this is one of those nights you won’t want to miss.

Good to know: Bar seating from 7 pm; tables from 8 pm with prior reservation via this link.

Where: Guevara 421, Chacarita.

2. Summer Nights at Zulu Haus

The specialty coffee shop in La Lucila transforms for one night into a relaxed, identity-driven experience.

On the table, a travel-inspired lineup of small plates: pork mandu with chili oil, chicken kebab with kimchi, beet hummus with flatbread, and crispy bánh xèo with vegetables and cured trout—plus off-menu desserts to finish. All paired with La Linda wines, vermouth, and a live soundtrack by Steve Becker.
