BA dining question
 
This kind of a silly question but. As most know in USA most soft drinks are served either cold or with ice. Having been to Paris last year this was not the normal.

How about in Buenos Aires? I guess the same for beer or wine also.

Thanks

Beer, white wine are served cold. Same for soft drinks, in some places with ice in some not. If you wish ice in your soft drink you can ask the waiter.

Today was quite warm and our drinks were served cold but they gave us small buckets of ice cubes in case we needed more.
Beer is always perfectly cold :)

Hola Graziella!

Hi Scarlett, I am glad you keep on enjoying Buenos Aires.Is it warm? We shall be there soon in early November...I think that in regard to cold drinks Argentineans are more similar to US than France,or England,...I should mention that in Argentina a scotch whisky is always served with ice , not in England as we all know.

Yes, we had a beautiful weekend of bright sunshine, warm temps and blue blue skies!
Today ( as you probably know, was Mothers Day) and a perfect day it was!

Plenty of cold drinks were welcome today, we took Pup to the park by Recoleta Cemetery .. there was no shade and we all felt parched!
We have been going to a favorite place called Como en Casa lately, we order a small bottle of champagne and fresh squeezed orange juice and make our own Mimosas...definitely a pleasant way to cool off and relax :)
