    Our tour group of 34 came to a tango dinner show. We had two long banquet tables reserved. We sat at the very front of the stage. Not a good idea as we couldn't see the tango dancers' feet. We started with a three course meal. Ordered - * hubby & I both had the empanada starter. One meat & the other cheese with onion. We both felt too doughy. * main course - we both selected the angus beef. Requested medium rare. As much as Argentina is known for beef, it's not choice or prime USDA like the States. * dessert - we both selected the dulce de leche mousse as South Americans love their dulche de leche. Once again too sweet. * choice of beverage- we both had a Malbec. They kept refilling. The tango show - reflected how tango evolved from the 1920's to the present. Our trip leader said this venue was where tango became an accepted form of dance. The performers were all very talented. The best dance routine for me was the one choreographed to Michael Jackson's Beat It.

    I came to this venue with my tour group. This restaurant has very nice decor. I had the fish entree and my husband had the steak entree. They were both delicious. The portions were very generous. After dinner we watched a group of talented performers dance on stage. It was very entertaining and we enjoyed it very much.

    I came here with my tour group for dinner and tango show. The space is absolutely gorgeous with elegant, classy decor. We were seated downstairs in the spacious dining area, where we enjoyed a 3 course meal before the tango show. There were little bread rolls, chimichurri oil, and crostini with some type of tasty cured meat, which made for mouthwatering bites. For my appetizer, I had the Baked Duo of Argentinian empanadas. One was filled with meat and veggies, while the other contained cheese and onion. Both were very yummy, but I preferred the meat one, as the meat was juicy, tender, and flavorful. The outer breading was wonderfully crispy and pillowy. I selected the slow cooked braised pork for my entree. The pork was cooked with honey, white wine, ginger, and served with sweet potatoes and compressed pears. The pork was a generous portion, and delightfully succulent, juicy, well seasoned with the sweet sauce. The sweet potatoes and pear were perfectly cooked and worked well together. Dessert was Suspiro Porteno, consisting of evaporated condensed milk, Italian meringue flavored with moscato and cinnamon. This was quite unique, but enjoyable. It was creamy, smooth, as well as sweet. And of course, there was coffee to end the dinner. Then came the tango show, which was amazing and like nothing like I've ever seen before. Each act had an actual storyline. There was passionate and skilled dancing, beautiful singing, live orchestra, as well as gorgeous costumes. It was a lovely evening filled with delicious food and beautiful dancing.

    After my dinner at Don Julio, the hotel arranged for transportation to this venue for the tango show. Seated in the top balcony of the theatre- the there was a live orchestra playing above the stage, and the dancers wore beautiful costumes and the main singers had great voices. Service - with my ticket price ($150 per person including transportation), there was a dessert and cocktails. Server was efficient. Ambiance- nice theatre but the cushions could have been cleaner, there was a red wine spill on my seat - ugh

    Lovely restaurant. Went in April. They held a tango show in their in-housed stage. Great stage with a live orchestra nested above the dance floor. Very lovely. The food was good and many dishes. A nice occasion for sis and I.

    Their Dinner and Tango show was a fabulous experience. The staff provided a warm welcome at arrival and swiftly seated guests as they arrived. The guests included what appeared to be a very large tour group, a large number of couples, and a few solo diners like myself. The staff seemed equally attentive to everyone which in my experience is not always true for solo diners. The dinner included an appetizer, a main dish, and dessert with three choices in each category. For the appetizer I chose a corn soup which was delicious. For the main I chose the pork which was served with sweet potato. The pork was incredible tender and very good but the sweet potatoes were a bland accompaniment. The size of the main entrees were huge and I didn't finish mine as I wanted to save room for dessert which I was glad I had as the pavlova I had chosen for dessert was amazing. The accompanying drinks, including the wine were free flowing and my glass was never close to empty until I turned them away when I'd had enough. The same was true for the water. After dessert coffee was served to those who wanted it. The tango show started after dinner. I appreciated that the singing and music were all performed live. The tango dancers were all very talented, fit, and had great chemistry. The costumes, sets, and lighting enhanced the tango numbers. The dining room was gorgeous. I had read reviews of guests at other establishments offer dinner and a tango show feeling crammed in

    Saw an Authentic Tango Experience here after some really good food. The steak here was decent compared to the other ones we had in Argentina. The risotto rice here was made well, but nothing stood out too much, expect for the Tango Show! We had empanadas here, rice and other grain options, but they were decent compared to the other empanadas we've tried on this trip. This is definitely not a Mexican restaurant though! You can get a good Argentinian experience from eating and watching the show here.

    We were delighted with our evening's dinner tango show. Timely pickup from our hotel, prompt dinner service with tasty food and generous wine pours, and the variety and quality of the tangos presented were delightful. We particularly enjoyed the 5 piece combo providing accompaniment.

    I didn't realize this was a really amazing Tango spot (or I did) until I went to one that was not so good. Been to Buenos Aires twice now (love it) which is know for their Tango. This place is also a historic cafe for coffee and tea during the day, the tango show and dinner is one of the best at night! Originally called Bar Rivadavia, this café was once the haunt of poets, musicians, even criminals, which is why a police commissioner jokingly called it "los angelitos" in the early 1900s. The Tango show is Top Notch with a live orchestra, amazing costumes, and choreographed by the same people as Rojo Tango (which is #1 Tango show in Buenos Aires and $290 a person) This Tango show is $130 a person and all meal and all you can drink included in the price! I absolutely loved it and want to go back again! I do not remember what the food is in the photos so I apologize but most is a set menu with a few choices here and there. Perfect for me! Amazing experience you HAVE to participate in while in the beautiful city of Buenos Aires!

    What a spectacular show! The show follows tango from the Belle Epoque through the Golden Years to Neo Tango. Excellent five-piece orchestra with imaginitive arrangements. A jazzy candombe, "Buenos Aires" from Evita with a nod to milonga, though a dark one (has no one else but me found it strange that Evita had no tango numbers in it even with the reference to Agustin Magaldi?). I enjoyed a very cool Bond Girl Pink Panther number in the style of Piazzolla. Tango, you have done it again, and I remember why I love you so. The current menu looks spectacular on paper, but I found it "meh." However I was here for the show. Nuce bebefit, they will pick you up from your hotel and return you. Wine is free and good! Very generous pours.

    DISCLAIMER: this is not a Mexican restaurant I really really wanted to give this place a 5 star, cause the place is a 5 star for sure, beautiful deco, floors, curtains, art in the walls This was my second visit and the first one was amazing, but this time there were some details that could've made it better. Let's start with the food, it is definitely the reason why you should come to this place, besides the place itself. The cakes are amazing, the coffee is great, has some of the best pastries in town. Let me tell you today was a 110 F degrees afternoon in Buenos Aires city and this very closed place didn't have AC, the waiter told me it was broken, let's pretend that we believe that for a second but if that was the case, why wouldn't you put at least a fan in the salon??? It was insufferable in there, plus our waiter didn't have the best attitude towards it, since he gave me a cold look when I asked. Plus the restrooms are super pretty and clean and the place is disable accesible, it even has it's own elevator Will be back just for the food, probably in fall lol.

    Excelentes tragos de autor y la deco del lugar es espectacular!read more

    This was a pretty awesome recommendation from one of our friends for cocktail bars in Palermo. I'm…read moresort of a sucker for speakeasies, and this was one of the more involved ones I've been to yet. On a very unassuming street, you have to declare the password to the doorman, and then once you do, you walk to a telephone booth that the doorman will give you an access code for. Certainly a lot of steps, but pretty well executed, actually. After entering, you see a very dark, intimate area with some nice couches for lounging, while the back area is brighter-lit and has the full bar, and a second level with more seating. It's certainly much more touristy here, as most of the clientele doesn't seem like they're from around the area, but it doesn't really take away from the vibe at all. Nonetheless, it's definitely very scene-y. The DJ up on the second floor was spinning some 90/00's rock (Chili Peppers, Blur, Killers) before moving onto more modern American pop songs from artists such as The Weeknd and DJ Snake. After going to other bars in the area that played mostly pop hits in Spanish, I could see that this was more of an outlier, but I didn't mind. We managed to snag some seats at the bar after befriending a very friendly couple that was just about to leave. We ordered a bunch of different drinks: smoked rosemary old-fashioned, pisco sours, the power of the tonic (basically a gin and tonic with honey and extra lemon). The bartenders certainly know what they're doing, and you can witness them practicing their craft. My smoked rosemary old-fashioned was a bit on the sweeter side, but still very strong, and the bartender actually used a blowtorch to light the rosemary, which was pretty gimmicky, but still kinda cool. The pisco sours was pretty delicious, and the power of the tonic came in a huge glass, and was very strong. The prices here are definitely more expensive than most bars in the area, with cocktails running from AR$150-200 (USD $11-15). However, they're using very quality ingredients, and the service is excellent and very attentive, so in all, a very quality product. Definitely worth a visit if you're going out in Palermo. It's certainly a very intimate space, while also providing a plethora of delicious, well-crafted drinks.
