Itinerary
Experience the soul of Argentina with an unforgettable evening at Michelangelo, a legendary tango venue located in a restored conventillo in the heart of San Telmo. Your evening begins with an optional pre-show experience where you can learn the basics of this passionate dance, or a wine tasting guided by expert sommeliers, offering a curated selection of Argentina’s finest wines. From 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, enjoy a three-course gourmet dinner in an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere. At 9:00 PM, the lights dim and the show begins. Accompanied by a live tango orchestra and a traditional Argentine folk group, four extraordinary couples take the stage to perform with breathtaking skill and emotion. The performance goes beyond tango, offering a deeper look into Argentine folklore and gaucho traditions, including powerful indigenous music and a thrilling boleadoras demonstration, where the rhythm and energy of the gaucho culture come to life.

In the main courses you will find meat, fish, pork, chicken and homemade pasta. You can accompany it with a wide variety of traditional side dishes and desserts Argentine .

Traveler reviews
Great venue with good food and entertainment, terrible service.
Food was very good, show also good, though over amplified music, service rude rude rude. Arriving early we asked to not be seated and enjoy a drink in the bar. We were told that we had to be seated NOW, no one else in the restaurant. Enjoying a glass of wine the waiter came by and after we had already checked out the menu, shoved the menu in our face to push an early order ( clearly it was to their advantage to serve as soon as possible for their convenience). Upon leaving the waiter chased us down the stairs demanding a tip. What ever happened to tipping for good service? Upon entry we were issued a voucher. The doorman checked our voucher and then handed to the next in line who checked our voucher again, walked us 10’ feet and sent us upstairs to the dining room, to then be asked to see our voucher again. Nothing about the customer experience.
Tango amazing, but book direct with the venue and take a taxi if you are staying in San Telmo
Tango dancing was stunning! Meal and venue were also great. A unique experience. However if staying San Telmo I would suggest booking direct with the venue and taking a taxi there and back. We were scheduled for a pick up and tour around San Telmo at 7pm, but the bus did not come until after 7:30pm and went direct to the venue. Despite only staying about 5 mins ride from the venue, our return journey took us all over the city and took 40 mins to drop us last back at our hotel.
It may take 20-25 minutes...
It may take 20-25 minutes before you get picked up from specified hotel. The drop off was much better organized
Hot Tango, great food!
Wow! This was awesome to see. The tango show was great and the dinner was also amazing. If you want to see a great tango show and enjoy an excellent dinner Michelangelo’s is definitely the place to go while in Argentina!
Save your money.
Save your money. Crowded in like sardines, poor view of stage area, rushed meal served while show was ongoing. Terrible food & poorly planned event.
