In late July 2026 the Buenos Aires City Ministry of Culture announced a new documentary series, “La Ruta de Los Notables,” and a ceremony scheduled for 4 August to award diplomas to twelve cafés, bars and confiterías newly added to the city’s Bares Notables catalogue. The announcement listed the venues to be honored and highlighted their historic and cultural significance.

A week later, on 7 August, the city reported that the ceremony had taken place as planned.
