A three-course menu

The Cena & Show ticket includes a three-course Argentine dinner, seated from 20:00 — roughly 90 minutes before the show's 21:45 curtain. The café markets its kitchen as Argentine haute cuisine with an international lean, though the exact dishes on the set menu change with the season, so it's worth checking the current menu when you book if you have strong preferences.

The open bar

Wine, beer and soft drinks are included through both the dinner and the show as an open bar, rather than charged by the glass — one of the details that separates this from a simple prix-fixe dinner with a cash bar. It runs for the whole three-and-a-half-hour evening, not just the meal.

Show-only, without dinner

A cheaper show-only ticket seats you at 21:45 with the same open bar but skips the three-course meal — worth considering if you've already eaten, or if the dinner sitting's earlier start doesn't suit your evening plans.

Dietary requirements

Because the kitchen runs one fixed sitting for the whole room, a vegetarian, vegan or allergen-specific plate needs to be arranged with the operator when you book, not requested on arrival. Building in that notice gives the kitchen time to prepare an alternative course alongside everyone else's, rather than scrambling once the room is already seated.

What the setting adds

The dinner is served inside the same belle-époque room — restored stained glass, marble accents, ornate mirrors — that the show later uses as its stage, so there's no separate transfer between a dining room and a theatre; you're seated where the evening happens rather than moved for it.

Booking around it

Because dinner and the show share one clock, showing up on time for the 20:00 seating (or the 21:45 show-only slot) matters more than at a venue with rolling entry — arriving late means joining a kitchen and a room that are already partway through their fixed schedule.
