Patio Bullrich

Shopping Centers / Malls, Recoleta

Fodor's Review:

The city's most upscale mall was once the headquarters for the Bullrich family's meat-auction house. Inside stone cow heads mounted on pillars still watch over the clientele. A colonnaded front, a domed glass ceiling, and curlicued steel supports are other reminders of another age. Top local stores that usually occupy prime mall space are relegated to the lowest level, making way for the likes of Lacroix, Cacharel, and Maxmara. Urban leather-ware brand Uma has a shop here, as does Palermo fashion princess Jessica Trosman, whose spare women's clothes are decorated with unusual heavy beadwork. The enfant terrible of Argentine footwear, Ricky Sarkany, sells dangerously pointed stilettos in colors that walk the line between exciting and kitsch. Edgy but elegant menswear line Etiqueta Negra has its first store outside the snooty northern suburbs here. When the gloriously huge bags these shops pack your purchases into begin to weigh you down, stop for a calorie-oozing cake at Nucha, on the Avenida del Libertador side of the building.
