About
El Querandí Tango Show is presented every day. It offers two menus, Traditional and VIP, both with options for celiacs and vegetarians, and free transfer in-out from downtown and Palermo (subject to location and availability). All programs include unlimited drinks.
Located at Peru 322, in the Monserrat neighborhood of Buenos Aires city.
Maestro Ado Falasca, accompanied by his remarkable typical quartet of piano, double bass, bandoneon, and violin, are the musical protagonists of the most renowned tango dinner and show in Buenos Aires; and they provide the most suitable framework and support where the excellence and skill of the distinguished dancers fill the main hall with all the magic of tango, with its history and fascinating tradition.
El Querandí is an authentic icon of the city of Buenos Aires. It has been awarded by the Historical Museum of the City, under the Secretary of Culture, with the title of “Living Testimony of Citizen Memory” due to the authenticity and fidelity with which its restoration was carried out in 1992, after remaining abandoned for more than 12 years. It has also been honored by the same Secretary of Culture as a “Notable Bar and Restaurant of the City of Buenos Aires” and distinguished as a “Tourist Site of Interest” by the National Tourism Secretariat.
In summary, its proposal for a tango dinner show in San Telmo, in the historic center of the city, encapsulates the very essence of Buenos Aires in its architecture from the early 20th century, with its art-deco facade, its Solomonic columns, its checkered floors, its shields, and its arches, inviting you to travel back in time, to taste the most representative dishes from each region of Argentina, accompanied by the renowned wines of the country, and to enjoy the most authentic and passionate tango show in the City of Buenos Aires.
An authentic and traditional tango show. A journey through the history of Tango in five blocks of time: “Origins,” “Immigrants and Suburbs,” “Gardel, the Tango Song,” “Salons and Milongas,” “Modernism”; preceded by an exquisite three-course à la carte dinner (with over twenty options of dishes including starters, main courses, and desserts), with vegetarian and gluten-free options; accompanied by the incomparable Argentine wines.
