Any hotelier who has the insight to put heaven and hell in the hallway of a hotel and a Damien Hirsh Dinosaur in the backyard has me at hello. So, when I learned that Buenos Aires had a Faena Hotel with one of the best restaurants in town and a tango show I was in. Was it worth $350? Absolutely. It's in Puerto Madero and they offer hotel pick up and drop service with the ticket. I would have come for the unicorn head bar off the lobby and the dragon bathroom faucets alone had I known. The long hallway with the horsehair benches and red carpet were gorgeous as well. The amuse bouche was trout. They offered 2 wines of good quality (Malbec and Chardonnay) and a sparkling white. I had to stop them from pouring because I would have otherwise been on the floor by the time the performance was over. The octopus carpaccio was excellent, as was the lamb with sweet potato purée. I liked that everything was accompanied by a chip and a fragrant oil. The dessert was chocolate ganache with passionate fruit, strawberry, and crumbs. The red room added to the drama of what was a very entertaining and beautifully performed tango show. They gave me a lovely eco sparkling water to go.

Pure tango. We loved it. The dancers and musicians were all very talented! The food was amazing with the best lamb I have ever had. The wine glasses were never empty. It is a small intimate venue but I can expect that your experience will vary with your sight lines to the stage. We weren’t at the front but fortunately had a decent view. All in all a wonderful evening!

A great evening. I was a little skeptical about going to this but it was recommended to me. I'm really glad I went. The show was amazing and the meal was very good as well. Often times I've found the meal at a show is just average at best. That is certainly not the case here. The food and service were great with a lot of people at the show. I would highly recommend taking in this show.
