Café de los Angelitos

Buenos Aires


Originally called Bar Rivadavia, this cafe was once the haunt of poets, musicians and even criminals, which is why a police commissioner jokingly called it los angelitos (the angels) in the early 1900s. As well as being an elegant spot for a coffee or tea, Los Angelitos puts on one of the best tango shows in Buenos Aires at night.

The tango show can be enjoyed alone or served with dinner. Choose from standard, executive, or VIP menus: all include wine pairings and dessert.
