La Esquina de las Flores is an all-veg, mostly organic restaurant and grocery that makes all its products. This is the place where I finally found tofu (a very happy day). They make delicious breads and whole-wheat empanadas and have a nice little café and takeout counter with yummy prepared meals. They also have a great selection of dried beans, flours, and of course, oatmeal.
La Esquina was opened by Angela B. Bianculli de Rodriguez (known affectionately as Angelita) 16 years ago, and it is a real vegetarian haven in Buenos Aires. The ladies who work there sport these frilly floral aprons and head scarves and are always so sweet to the hombrecito. And it doesn’t hurt that it’s three blocks from our apartment. Ryan eats lunch here just about every day. High praise indeed.
