Unexpected and Wonderful. So glad we found this.

Carol_S, Mar 2025

What a terrific evening! We expected to see tango dancing, but the show was so much more. This evening was cultural immersion. Food was okay. Local wine was outstanding.

Great dancing …. But ……

Michelle_K, Mar 2025

The dancing was really very good and they showed different types of dance, but had it not been for the woman next to us that spoke English, we wouldn’t have understood a thing. The background information was so interesting so it’s a great shame they don’t provide any explanations in English. Especially since it’s a tourists venue !!!! The food was very mediocre, with limited choices. My steak was ok but my partners was very fatty The show lasts about 1.5 hours and at the end the audience is encouraged to get up and dance Perhaps the price at just under £70 pp is reflective of the quality of the evening

Disappointing Experience

Sherrie_C, Feb 2025

The event is not fully as described. It is two hours, not four. Tango is a small portion of the show so if that’s your primary interest, you may be disappointed. The show starts with folkloric dancing, there are several singers throughout, and ends with candombe numbers. The food is mediocre and disappointing. Four of us ordered the steak and it was so overcooked, even though we asked for medium rare, that we could barely cut it let alone chew it. The wine is plentiful, thank goodness. If I had it to do over, I wouldn’t spend the money.

Entertaining Dinner Show

Angela H, Jan 2025

This was a fun dinner show that gave you a little history of Uruguay through dance and song. The dinner was nice and the staff was friendly. I would recommend as a fun evening out!
