Full description
Experience the essence of traditional tango in San Telmo with an evening at El Viejo Almacén including preferential stagefront seating, show, and VIP Menu dinner
Step into the heart of the historic San Telmo neighborhood to discover El Viejo Almacén, the pioneering and most emblematic tango venue in Buenos Aires. Housed in a former Russian immigrants' general store declared a cultural heritage site, this iconic manor preserves traditional local architecture and recreates, through intimate halls adorned with vintage photographs and period details, the authentic atmosphere of the early cafes and stores where tango was born.
Enjoy a passionate cabaret-style performance from preferential VIP seating directly in front of the stage. The production brings together a live orchestral quintet led by Fernando Marzán, four professional dance couples in period costumes, the stellar voice of legendary singer Hugo Marcel alongside a female vocalist, Andean folk music, and a vibrant malambo duo featuring boleadoras and drums. This experience includes a three-course VIP Menu dinner offering starters such as creole empanadas, prawn timbale with avocado and mango, vichyssoise soup, or tabbouleh, followed by beef tenderloin medallion, chicken saltimbocca, grilled salmon, salmon sorrentinos, or vegetable goulash. Complete the evening with select desserts and included drinks featuring Trapiche Reserva Malbec and Chardonnay wines, champagne, whisky, beer, soft drinks, orange juice, and mineral water.
Please note that this dining and live entertainment evening is not a guided tour. During the booking process, select the option without transfer to head directly to the venue, the option with shared transfer from downtown Buenos Aires, or the option with shared transfer from Palermo.
