Argentina may be better known for its steak and its gelato than for breakfast offerings, but Córdoba has increasingly upped its game when it comes to brunch fare that goes beyond the usual coffee and medialunas. Nevertheless, the Argentine palate for breakfast tends to veer sweet: pastries and small cakes are the preferred option. Read on for the best spots for brunch or late breakfast in the city of Córdoba.
