We took our children (12, 11 and 7) and walked watching the river, we entered the museum boat (Fragata Sarmiento) and they had a great time. We had a very good lunch, in a fancy restaurant for a good price. There are also coffee shops, ice creams and "churros" We went also another day at night for dinner. It is... more

While nothing exceptional, Puerto Madero is a nice place to walk along the water and there are ample benches all around if you want to just sit and relax and enjoy the nice day (and an occasional breeze). There are many restaurants in Puerto Madero which cater to tourists - menus printed in English, outdoor seating, and higher prices. The... more

I first visited in March 2006, when a taxi driver took me to Cabana Las Lilas, a restaurant I thoroughly enjoyed, although it is touristy and pricey by comparison. Still Puerto Madero is a great place to visit, and it is nice on hot days to sit on one the many verandas along the waterside to partake of a cool... more

Nicely redone port area for tourists. Many restaurants, but some are chains from other places. Bice (the original in Milan, Italy is great). This one was not very good and expensive. If you live in NY, Houston or Dallas you can try it there. We ate mostly at local and loved the food. more

Great place for photo opportunities. It feels a little romantic, but then again, what doesn't in Buenos Aires? more

Puerto Madero is nothing but a canal with boats and super expensive restaurants designed for tourists...The restauranst are extremely expensive...Not worth it...And other than the restaurants, there's not much to do...There are two old ships docked by the canal...They are beautiful, and entrance is free...but that can be done in 30 minutes...Ohter than that, please don't get scammed in those... more

I felt compelled to write a review because the other ones are too old. I stayed in Buenos Aires with my wife and children during August 19-26 / 2007. Puerto Madero is one of the places that you must visit in Buenos Aires. I understood that it was the old Buenos Aires' port and was a ruin until a few... more

We went dining twice to Puerto Madero during our week long stay in Buenos Aires. Together with Las Cañitas, in Palermo, I'd say this is one of the finest dining districts in the city, with plenty of high quality, excellent value restaurants to choose from. "Cabaña las Lilas" is supposed to be the best parilla in BsAs. However, it's far... more

Be careful when getting picked up at night even from a radio taxis for the counterfeit currency exchange when visiting this touristy area. I find most of the scam problems or pick-pocketing takes place in areas frequented by tourists and Puerto Madero is one of them. It is by itself and outside of the real downtown district and developed only... more
