The 10 Best Brunch Spots In Rosario, Argentina
Rosario, in the Argentinian province of Santa Fe, is known as a ‘little Buenos Aires,’ not only for its wealth of museums, galleries and history, but also for its vibrant dining scene. While the evening is when Argentinians enjoy their main meal of the day, there are plenty of quaint and quirky cafés around the city for visitors to enjoy a late breakfast or early lunch. Here’s our list of 10 of the best brunch spots in Rosario.

Monreal

Monreal is a popular sandwich shop, which serves more than just your average BLT.

All their sandwiches are lovingly homemade, with great quality produce and a huge range of options.

De Buen Humor

Although De Buen Humor may not serve traditional brunch items, its ice cream is legendary throughout Rosario, and it is certainly worth a visit for a late morning break from exploring the city. Given Rosario’s huge number of Italian immigrants, who arrived in the early 20th century, it is no surprise that the city is home to such delicious ice cream. All the ice cream is, of course, homemade, and diners can also choose from a number of other treats to go with it, such as crêpes or brownies. If all that seems too much for brunch, there are also tasty smoothies for something a little lighter.
