The World’s 50 Best Bars: For the first time, an Argentinian bar has been voted third best bar in the world

Before the Latin American ceremony of The 50 best restaurants in the world, which will take place in Buenos Aires on October 10, we learned yesterday that two Argentinian bars are among the 50 best in the world. According The 50 best bars in the worldin position number 3 was Floreria Atlanticobartender Renato “Tato” Giovannoni. The other major innovation was the promotion of President, the bartender Sebastian Garciawhich rose from 53rd place in 2018 to 33rd this year.

Florería Atlántico opened its doors in 2013. It is located at Arroyo 872, in the most charming area of ​​the Retiro neighborhood in Buenos Aires. There, Tato Giovannoni recreated a “florist” but with a secret door that takes you into the bar, in the basement of the premises. It is characterized by the excellence of its cocktails and the particularity of its gastronomic offer.

The bar entered the ranking in 2016, at number 49; it rose to 23 in 2017 and reached 14 last year. This year he is not only in the top 3, but he has also been recognized as the best in South America.

“We imagine that Florería Atlántico must have surprised some visitors at the time, by making them enter through an ordinary door of a florist, but it is a kind of speakeasy bar (speakeasy/hidden bar) in which all are welcome, and it attracts a wide range of porteños to the old docks of the Argentine capital. Certainly, the whole premise of Florería Atlántico is to celebrate the good and the great in Argentina, a country whose production is rich and varied, born of diverse climates and centuries of immigration.”, describes the review on the official website of the awards.

On the bar’s fanpage, customer reviews highlight the quality of service, the unbeatable atmosphere and the excellent service.

“One more year @floresatlantico in the @50bestbars. Congratulations sailors and passengers. Thank you for always joining us! Long live the homeland!”tweeted last night from London Tato Giovannoni.

Presidentmeanwhile, is located in Quintana 188 (and Montevideo). Sebastián García’s bar made its debut in the rankings last year when it reached No. 53. As with Florería Atlántico, progress has been rapid and now the stylish Recoleta bar is ranked 33rd (a jump of 20 places in just one year).

“Between the Clouds” It is one of the most photographed Presidente cocktails, but also one of the most delicious. Among its ingredients you can taste Hendrick’s Gin (the most awarded gin in the world), cherry brandy, strega, citric acid and rosemary.
