This weekend comes with something for every taste. There are options that blend creative gastronomy, theatre, cinema and music, delivering that perfect mix of culture, flavor and good vibes that the Buenos Aires summer calls for.

The agenda invites you to break out of the routine, try new things, rediscover classic spots and enjoy experiences that range from indoor plans to open-air outings. Options to go with friends, as a couple or solo, and build your own itinerary your way.

1. ElĂ©ctrica Pizza pops up in Coghlan for one night

For one night only, Eléctrica Pizza leaves its Palermo home and goes pop-up at Feriado Cantina. The date is this Saturday from 8pm, with their own portable ovens and a short, no-frills menu: five classic, fully artisanal pizzas and two fainás, made to be eaten on the spot.

The night is rounded out with house-made vermouth, cold beer and a live DJ set by Fiesta Capricho, all within Feriado’s signature relaxed, cantina-style atmosphere. The perfect plan to try Eléctrica outside its usual setting, with great music in the background.

The info: you can reserve your spot via WhatsApp at +54 9 11 3772-9383.

Where: Washington 3498.

2. Premiere of “QueridĂ­simo Truman” at Paseo La Plaza

This Saturday, an unmissable show arrives at Paseo La Plaza. From 8pm, Gabriel Oliveri dives deep into the mind (and heart) of Truman Capote with a musicalized biography that works as homage, confession and theatrical play all at once. A journey through the life of a genius who was as brilliant as he was uncomfortable: overflowing talent, glamour, eccentricities, razor-sharp irony and a loneliness that surfaces between laughter and emotion. All accompanied by live music and a tone that moves freely from humor to a lump in the throat.

Written together with Florencia Bendersky, the play portrays Capote as both writer and character, from the massive success of In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany’s to the darker descent into excess, pharmaceuticals and endless nights at Studio 54. The show will run at different times through March.

The info: tickets are available via this link or at the theatre box office.

Where: Av. Corrientes 1660.

3. Off-menu dishes to celebrate the weekend at Funga

Weekends at Funga have a different flavor: the kitchen turns into a true laboratory and off-menu dishes appear, with mushrooms as the undisputed stars. Nothing fixed, nothing repeated—the offering changes week by week and becomes the perfect excuse to try new combinations, different techniques and surprising flavors.

Past highlights include spaghetti with butter, miso and sautéed mushrooms, mushroom kofta with yogurt and zough, or a tomato, mushroom and raw egg yolk tartare. Every visit is different, every dish too. Ideal for coming back again and again and letting yourself be carried away by the fungal universe at its best.

The info: you can book a table via this link or just show up.

Where: Zapiola 1375, Colegiales.

4. Cinema at El Recoleta

Movies step out of traditional theatres and return to the Recoleta Cultural Center. This weekend—Saturday the 10th and Sunday the 11th—there’s a guaranteed plan. On Saturday at 6pm, it’s all capes, swords and Technicolor with The Adventures of Robin Hood: action, humor and Errol Flynn in full legend mode, perfect for diving into a classic adventure that hasn’t aged a bit.

On Sunday, also at 6pm, it’s time to laugh guilt-free with Bringing Up Baby, a screwball comedy gem starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. Absurd humor, delightful entanglements and a comedy that still works perfectly. Two days in a row, two great excuses to stop by Recoleta and kick off summer with top-notch cinema.

The info: tickets are available via this link. During the summer there will also be workshops and live music on the terrace.

Where: Junín 1930.

A journey through musical genres declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, set in a unique location full of atmosphere.
