WHERE TO EAT The best Medialunas in the world (according to food experts)

"Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, sweet on the surface, slightly salty inside: the lard medialunas in Dos Escudos are the best in the city."

"If they prefer something sweet and I have to choose one thing, I tell them to try the almond medialunas from L'epi, because they have never eaten anything like that."

"The medialunas are unsurpassed."

"It is essential to stop in Atalaya to eat its exquisite Medialunas on the way to the beaches of Buenos Aires."

"A celebrated social hub and ideal spot for café con leche and medialunas (sweet buttery croissants) is La Biela."

"They are very soft, they are always fresh, and I would say they even melt in your mouth. They taste crazy good!"

"The butter medialunas are their outstanding product and represent the ideal of the standard medialuna: very plump, crunchy on the outside and airy inside, sweet enough and with a soft texture that melts in your mouth."

"The famous salted butter croissants from Nuria were born in the heat of the bakery founded by Don Enrique Axel, who in 1936 brought his trade as a baker from his native Catalonia. Like many inventions, they were the result of an error, of a game in which the recipe was altered due to an oversight and the result was so tasty that it was repeated until it became a classic."

"For more than 100 years, Panaderia La Argentina is offering its traditional medialunas. Medialunas are fine and crisp; butter ones are sweet and with smooth texture, impeccable."

The texture and the moisture are the best. You can feel the honey and the crunchiness in the same bite.
