À la carte, not a set menu
The dinner package isn't a fixed three-course plate handed to every table — it's about twenty dishes across starters, mains and desserts, and you choose what you eat rather than working through a single set menu decided in advance. It runs closer to an actual restaurant service than the banquet-hall style of dinner show common elsewhere in the city, where everyone at every table gets the same plate at the same time.
The wine
House Malbec and Chardonnay are included with the dinner package, along with beer, and poured through the meal rather than metered by the glass. Malbec in particular is Argentina's best-known red and effectively the country's signature grape, so a tango dinner built around it is squarely on theme — it's the wine most visitors will already associate with an Argentine table, whether or not they've had it before.
Everything else at the table
Soft drinks, coffee and tea are included without any stated limit, regardless of which wine or beer you've chosen, and there's no separate charge added for them through the course of the evening. For a party that isn't drinking wine at all — travelling with children, for instance, or simply not drinking — the non-alcoholic side of the package is still a full part of what's included, not an afterthought.
Dietary needs
Vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan options are all available on request, alongside the standard à la carte menu. The practical point worth remembering: flag the requirement when you book, rather than raising it at the table on the night, so the kitchen has time to plan for it properly — a room working through dinner orders for roughly 190 guests ahead of a fixed 9:30pm show doesn't have much slack to improvise a special plate on the spot.
Children
On the dinner package specifically, children aged 3 to 12 are charged half the adult rate, and children under 2 go free — a meaningful saving for a family booking the full evening rather than the show alone. The show-only ticket, by contrast, doesn't carry any stated age discount; it's priced per seat regardless of who's sitting in it.
Your own table
Whatever you end up ordering, it's served at a table that belongs to your booking alone for the evening — reservations aren't seated together or shared between separate parties, so the dinner has the shape and privacy of a normal restaurant table rather than a long shared banquet bench, even inside a room built to seat around 190 people at once. The package itself is priced as one evening rather than dinner plus a bolted-on show ticket — a saving against booking the two separately — so the real comparison isn't just "do I want dinner," but whether an à la carte Argentine dinner with house wine, in the same room as the performance, is worth that difference over eating elsewhere first.
