With its beautiful patio and delicate atmosphere, Casa Cavia is one of the most sophisticated restaurants in Palermo.
Located on Plaza Alemania, just a couple of blocks from the Japanese Garden, this 1920s mansion was designed by Norwegian architect Alejandro Christophersen. The minimalist and austere architecture is the epitome of elegance and good taste. The garden is formal and beautiful: a large water fountain in the center, stone surfaces, and neatly planted garden beds.
Casa Cavia is enjoyable at all times. Their afternoon tea and Sunday brunch are popular choices. The lunch and dinner menu, based on fresh, seasonal ingredients, features many vegetarian and vegan options, as well as meat and fish dishes. The restaurant boasts an excellent cocktail menu and wine list.
Under the leadership of chef Julieta Caruso, Casa Cavia has established itself as a culinary destination that balances innovation with sophistication. The restaurant is recognized in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide Argentina, cementing its status as one of Buenos Aires’ premier dining establishments.
The menu changes seasonally, featuring contemporary interpretations of Argentine cuisine with international influences. Recent additions include dishes that showcase the restaurant’s commitment to using fresh, local ingredients from garden to table.
Before leaving Casa Cavia, don’t forget to visit their small flower shop, bookstore, and perfumery – making it a complete sensory experience that extends beyond dining.
