Torreón del Monje is a seaside restaurant and attraction on Paseo Jesús de Galíndez in Mar del Plata. Stop for coffee or a light meal with views over the water, with seating indoors and outdoors. The menu includes fried calamari, croissants and desserts, while the submarino, hot milk served with a bar of chocolate to melt in it, is a popular choice for an afternoon break. The dining room can be noisy, so this suits a quick stop better than a long, quiet catch-up.
Coffee and a light meal by the sea
Torreón del Monje sits beside the water on Paseo Jesús de Galíndez. It works well as a break during a walk along the beach, with indoor and outdoor seating and a menu that covers coffee, snacks and meals.
For an afternoon stop, order a submarino, a hot-milk drink served with chocolate to melt in the cup. Croissants and apple crumble are other options for a sweet bite. The menu also includes flan, cappuccino and Irish coffee.
What to order
Fried calamari is served with two dips and makes a straightforward choice if you want something savoury. Fritto misto is another seafood option. The menu also lists polenta and squid, though the available details do not specify how those dishes are prepared.
The setting is part of the appeal, but the sound can carry indoors. If you are meeting friends for a longer conversation, bear that in mind; for coffee or a quick bite with a view, the location is the main draw.
