Argentine Racecourse of Palermo

Palermo
Located in the traditional neighborhood of Palermo, this space is a great tourist attraction in Buenos Aires. Majestic and immense, its building is one of the main references of the Buenos Aires belle epoque and a meeting place for great equestrian events such as the National Grand Prize, which is held every year. Throughout its 130 years of history, the most famous representatives of national and international turf have paraded through its arenas.



The tango of the 30s, 40s and 50s show the popular fervor that existed for equestrian sport in those times. In fact, Carlos Gardel was one of the most frequent participants at the racetrack with his horse “Lunático”, which was ridden by the famous Uruguayan jockey Irineo Leguisamo and to whom he dedicated his tango “Leguisamo solo”.



Today fans and lovers of good living flock to races and enjoy social life and the pleasure of eating. The place has a gastronomic circuit made up of 8 restaurants and cafes that offer a wide variety of options: the delicious coffee from Illy Café & Dolce and Irineo Café, the refreshing beer from Sport Bar, the delicious Guadalupe Ribs with rustic potatoes from Tucson, the original delicacies of Bagatelle and Rabieta and the malbec of Puracepa.



Now, in addition, to the great happiness of the epicureans of Buenos Aires and tourists, you can already enjoy Picnic, an innovative open-air gastronomic proposal in the central islands of the racecourse; an ideal program to cut the daily routine and taste the delicacies of Menéndez, former chef de cuisine of “Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann”. Its menu includes small plates, grilled skewers and sandwiches of all kinds. A cuisine full of flavor and textures that also offers delicious meats and options for vegetarians, vegans and celiacs.

With a warm and glamorous setting, the tables, tents and living rooms respect the distances and security measures required by current protocol. Picnic offers a mobile application for greater convenience and efficiency when buying tickets, tables and parking. Available for free download from the App Store and Google Play.
