Maru Botana

In addition to sweets, Maru Botana's bakeries offer salads and savory tarts, but to eat here without ordering dessert would be missing the point. It would also require superhuman restraint. The celebrity pastry chef is famous for her indulgent tortas, often layered with dulce de leche and cream and topped with perfect peaks of snowy meringue. Her Belgrano shop, tucked between Victorian mansions on a leafy cobblestoned block, makes an ideal conclusion to an afternoon stroll through the picturesque residential neighborhood.
