a breakfast tour across the city showing you the  different types of breakfast you can enjoy here  

we'll hit up a regular neighborhood coffee shop  where the pastries are freshly baked and the  

coffee mugs are deep we'll also visit a classic  old world cafe that oozes history and charm  

and lastly we'll visit a more contemporary  cafe with some more savory food options  

so with that in mind let's go see what  we can eat in buenos aires for breakfast  

alright guys so day one of our argentine breakfast  challenge today we're going to kick things off  

with just an average local neighborhood coffee  spot so it's just around the corner we go here all  

the time when we're staying in the neighborhood  of almagro it's a place where you get big cups  

of coffee media lunas and it's just like your  average spot like people who are stopping here are  

on their way to work or maybe just coming to read  the newspaper so yeah very classic local let's go

so we got two different styles of the classic  argentine breakfast sam got the completo which i  

would call the greedy guts breakfast this is gonna  get a little bit of everything yeah and i went for  

more of a traditional cafe in media lunas and my  favorite thing about this coffee shop is the size  

of their coffee cups it's not every restaurant  that gives you a coffee cup this size this is  

almost like a mug they're just huge they're huge i  feel like i'm getting two coffee cups in one here  

oh and it's good coffee good way to start  the morning and of course i paired it  

with the media lunas which are kind of like  croissants they're very buttery and doughy  

fluffy it's almost like biting into a cloud and  with these ones you can get the salty variety  

which is made with lard or you can get the  sweet variety which has a sugar glaze over top  

yeah so you had the classic porteño breakfast  which is the media lunas and the cafe  

i am getting the tostado breakfast yeah and so  this comes basically with sliced toast then you  

also get fizzy soda water you get orange juice  fresh squeezed by the way and it also comes with  

these cookies come for both of us we basically  get two each they're cookies with little jam  

in the middle with quince jam and then i've got a  nice little dollop of cream and then you also have  

peach jam and strawberry jam to go along with them  and of course the giant cup cafe con leche yes you  

know what like your dad said this before but it's  so true you're gonna get your best cup of coffee  

in all of argentina and buenos aires for sure  there's just such a high standard at the cafes  

agreed this is like italian coffee and to come in  such a large mug this is like exactly what i want  

because normally i have two or three cups  of coffee in the morning when i'm at home  

so this is almost like two or three cops in  this giant vlog yeah we could have chosen any  

neighborhood cafe but we wanted to come to this  one for today's argentine breakfast because of the  

size of the yeah and just to show you that like  you don't have to be in the most touristy spot in  

the city to get to get such a great breakfast like  this this is just a super residential area i will  

say this breakfast like with toast and jam it's  the kind of thing that's eaten across the whole  

country across all of argentina yes typically  i'd say more with the butter than cream cheese  

but this is like a classic argentine breakfast  across the board these these the two things that  

we got are by far the most common what's most  interesting though is the the media lunas that  

you got are especially popular in buenos aires  yeah that's the point of size breakfast exactly  

that's really good i'm indulging my sweet  tooth early in the morning here guys  

and i wanted to show you guys the soda water  this is to cleanse the palate in between  

all the sips of coffee and all the  sugary bites and the sugary bites yeah

so price point for that buenos aires breakfast  keep in mind that was a lot of food a lot of  

food so the total was 350 pesos which right now is  5.80 i would say that is a bargain for everything  

we got everything we eat actually that includes  a second cup of coffee because somebody liked it  

so much that he was like you know what i need one  more indeed so i mean if you just got everything  

we showed you it'd probably be like five bucks  alright guys so today we are taking you out for a  

fancy breakfast a little something different from  what we showed you yesterday and we have come to  

one of my favorite cafes in all of buenos aires  this place is called petit colon and it oozes  

elegance it is just so beautiful it is one  block away from teatro colon which is the  

biggest grandest theater in the whole city so yeah  we're gonna be taking you for argentine breakfast  

we've beaten here many times before and  we hope you enjoy it as much as i do  

so i'm going to start with the croissant the  medialuna stuffed with ham and cheese what i  

really like about this is the combination of like  sweet and savory you've got the sweetness of the  

croissant which has a glaze over top but then the  savory of the ham and the cheese a really nice  

combination even if it seems a bit strange like  why would you put those two together but i like it

this is very good i highly recommend trying  it if you find yourself here in buenos aires  

it's also known as a mafalda a  stuffed croissant is a mafalda  

so if you see that on the menu  you know what you're getting  

now some crisps it's nice to be having something  a little salty for breakfast too we have a lot  

of sweets most breakfasts are sweet unless you  order like the ham and cheese grilled sandwich  

you can also do that as a breakfast food item but  here in argentina it's mostly a sweet breakfast  

and then for today's drink we wanted to show you  the submarine it means submarine and basically  

it's just a cup of hot milk and they give you  a piece of chocolate it's from the brand aguila  

and then you drop the chocolate into the  milk like a little submarine you wait  

for it to start to melt and then you mix it  and you get like this sort of hot chocolate

the flavors of my childhood oh and then we had  two little bites of cake and that kind of just  

came with breakfast i've already devoured one but  it's like a vanilla sponge cake with icing sugar  

on top so it was very very good so yum yum well  well guys if audrey went for the salty breakfast  

i am doing the exact opposite this is a decadent  sweet tooth breakfast and as you can see over here  

i've got fancy pastries yes you do so these are  called facturas the one over here has some jam  

on the end and then this part has custard now over  here we've got um custard and then a giant dollop  

of dulce de leche delicious argentine caramel and  then over here is a special alfajor i was hoping  

to get the homemade one the mycena which is just  the cookie and the dulce de leche with cornstarch  

yeah but this one they didn't have that but  this one's a little fancier this has a chocolate  

coating on top and then it also has some some nuts  sprinkled and then i got a fancy cappuccino with  

cinnamon corn canela you need some sugar you  know what i think it could be good on its own

oh yeah it doesn't need sugar i mean you  could add it if you wanted it but such a  

nice cinnamon cappuccino all right i'm just  going to indulge in these so i'm going to  

bore your knife i'm going to try a bite first the  jam that one is quince jam it is called membrillo  

the thing i love so much about quinn's  jam in argentina is just how tart it is  

yes tart and sweet okay let's  move on to the custard part

it tastes a little bit like  the custard you'd find in a  

you know a north american donut  like a boston cream doughnut  

exactly all right guys this is maybe the most  decadent of all the one with dulce de leche

that's by far my favorite not only is it  sweet with dulce de leche but it's also got  

a dusting of icing sugar on top and those are  like the three main ingredients that you find  

in factors it's either custard yeah quince  jam or dude so we were able to try them all  

now guys this should be really interesting  once i break this in half you can see  

the alpha horror and all of its glory  look at that we have the chocolate coating  

the nuts the cookie the dulce de leche  in the middle and another layer of cookie

my goodness is it ever tasty  this is kind of the ultimate  

fancy breakfast you can have in buenos  aires it's just it's phenomenal the  

everything is just so fresh and delicious and  well made and it's the environment here is just  

spectacular i even like the music they've got like  a jazzy piano going on in the background and it's  

just like i don't know even people people who  come here it just feels like you want to linger  

you don't want to just come in and wolf down your  food and leave it's a place to linger it's a place  

to read your newspaper nice place to come that was  marvelous how are you feeling after that oh that  

was just the ultimate the ultimate fancy breakfast  seriously so good and it wasn't that expensive  

like the total came to 10 us dollars for both of  us to eat in such a beautiful setting which is  

what's just over 600 pesos 650 pesos yeah just  a little over ten dollars five bucks per person  

we ate really well i'm beyond satisfied and  yeah if you come to buenos aires another place  

worth adding to your list petit colon check it  out well guys today we are introducing you to the  

third type of breakfast a contemporary breakfast  so we've come to a place called tostado where  

we're going to be trying different toasts and  sandwiches but it's not going to be the classic  

ham and cheese grilled sandwich that you get here  in argentina this is more of a modern twist a  

contemporary version of it plus we've also ordered  toast with salmon toast with guacamole which i  

feel like is just ultimate hipster breakfast  so we've got that coming some tropical juices  

a coffee for sam and yeah a different type of  breakfast that you can enjoy here in buenos aires

breakfast time breakfast  time so i've got a giant mug  

of cafe con leche yes which is always  a good way to start off the morning  

indeed and then i have salmon toast which is  basically scrambled eggs with salmon and um  

alfalfa and some veggies as well i see tomatoes  and different greens oh that looks cute

oh it's really good it's got a tangy  sauce as well too oh that's delicious  

nice brown bread this is a really good  contemporary argentine breakfast oh my my

that beer is getting out of hand kind of is and  i've got fresh squeezed orange juice on the bottom  

and why use a glass when you can  drink it straight from the bottom

good stuff i got the avocado toast all right  so this is a really tasty avocado toast we've  

got a whole grain bread that has lots of  seeds and nuts and then we've got like our  

guacamole so it's not just avocado i feel like  this is guacamole like it's got a bit of lemon  

juice and some onions there's a little something  going on there and then we've got like this fluffy  

thin omelette that's been folded  in half put on top of the toast  

we've got some alfalfa sprouts and yeah it's just  really really tasty i'm quite pleased with this  

and then on the other hand there's the grilled  cheese sandwich that we just stretched before your  

eyes so you can see how cheesy it really is and  this grilled ham and cheese sandwich is definitely  

more north american style like here  in argentina it's usually that like  

thin spongy bread with like the ham and cheese  but this is like a much thicker slice of bread  

buttered and toasted like on both sides and for  my drink i got maracuda which is passion fruit  

it is a passion fruit juice so it tastes nice  and tropical and brings back memories of brazil

good breakfast overall yeah that was breakfast  actually more like a brunch today so it came to  

800 pesos which is currently 13 us dollars and  that included the two juices the three pieces  

of toast and the coffee to be honest guys those  pieces of toast and that sandwich were really  

big one would have been enough per person oh yeah  this is technically enough food for three people  

three sandwiches three drinks exactly we basically  ordered breakfast for three and it came to 13  

so a good deal and yeah very tasty here  i would come back here again for sure
