About Abasto Carlos Gardel
Abasto Carlos Gardel brings new life to the former Esquina Carlos Gardel, in Abasto, the neighbourhood where Gardel lived. The venue has been completely renovated under new ownership, with a brand-new show and a striking Art Deco interior inspired by the elegance of the Roaring Twenties. Every detail of the room adds to the atmosphere.
The show features four couples of professional tango dancers and a live orchestra, combining impressive choreography, live music and the unmistakable passion of Buenos Aires tango. Dinner is served before the show, with a 3-course menu and a choice for each course: Argentine beef, fish or vegetarian.
What makes Abasto different is the choice of categories: Standard, VIP, Platinum and the exclusive Private Lounge. The Private Lounge is a new concept among the tango venues in Buenos Aires: you start the evening at your own private table for dinner, then move to comfortable front-row chairs for the show. You get the privacy of your own table and one of the best views of the stage.
The show opens on 26 November 2026. I have not seen it yet, so there is no score from me on this page. I will add my own verdict after my first visit.
