Piazzolla Tango Show and Dinner in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires, Argentina

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

This was a high point of our trip to B.A. The food was great and the dancing was totally amazing. This is a tango show with alot of history - the troupe has been performing (with various dancers) for years - the band is one of the best you will hear, the music soaring and passionate. There are lots of tango options around town, but this is the grand-daddy of them all in terms of history IMHO - you'll see pictures on the walls from way back in the day, and this history can be felt in the smooth moves of the dancers and the haunting deeply beautiful melodies from the band. Totally wonderful.

My Review

Besides being the best food I ate on my entire trip, this was one of the very best nights ever. This cooking/eating/laughing experience is totally awesome and would be fun for any ages, including families. We were seated with around 10 other people from all over the world (they have two big tables with around 20 total)...we were poured Malbec from several smaller wineries (best Malbec I had in Argentina), then came the empanada class. Which was a blast. But then came the most incredible steak i've ever tasted in my life, followed by a instructional on everything you wanted to know about matte. (tea). The staff was awesome -hilarious, passionate and obviously love all things Argentinian. Hanging out with others, we all exchanged stories of the best places in B.A. for eating, tango, etc...so this is a great place to start your Argentina trip, as you get tips from everyone else. On the night we were there, everyone at our table had so much fun that when these guys closed up, we all walked a few blocks down to another bar and partied till 2AM. Definately not to be missed. And they're located in the neighborhood of Palermo Hollywood, very safe and not far from central B.A. - there are lots of taxis all around all night for you to get back to your hotel. Totally awesome!
