Show-only vs dinner & tango: What’s the difference?

If you’re booking a tango dinner show in Buenos Aires, you’ll often see two options: show-only tickets or dinner & tango packages. While both let you experience world-class dancers, live orchestras, and the passion of Argentine tango, the difference comes down to whether you pair the performance with a gourmet dining experience. Here’s how to choose the option that’s right for your evening in the tango capital of the world.

Show only

What’s it about?
A show-only ticket gives you access to the tango performance itself, with an evening of live music, dazzling choreography, and authentic Buenos Aires ambience, without the dinner portion.

Is it for me?
Perfect for those with limited time, a set dining plan elsewhere, or anyone looking for a more flexible and budget-friendly night out. You still enjoy the full performance while keeping the evening shorter and lighter.

What’s included?

  • Reserved seating for the tango show at your chosen venue
  • Live music by an authentic Argentine tango orchestra
  • Optional beverage service (wine, sparkling, or soft drinks, depending on venue)

Recommended tickets:

Dinner & tango experience

What’s it about?
This option pairs the performance with a multi-course gourmet meal highlighting Argentina’s finest cuisine. Expect prime steak, Patagonian seafood, and decadent dulce de leche desserts, often served with premium Malbec or Torrontés wines.

Is it for me?
Choose this if you want a complete Buenos Aires night out, which is luxurious, romantic, and deeply immersive. Ideal for anyone who wants to combine Argentina’s cultural heartbeat with its culinary excellence.

What’s included?

  • Three or four-course gourmet dinner featuring Argentine specialities and premium wines
  • Live tango performance with professional dancers and orchestra
  • VIP seating upgrades available at select venues
  • Optional hotel transfers for added convenience
