Great value
Excellent service! Our waiter was professional, attentive and extremely knowledgeable about wine. To me, the beauty of the show is in the variety. The folk performances were off the charts impressive. I’m not very into tango, but the singers and dancers merited full attention. I realize that some may call this show “touristy” but the talent of the performances is undeniable (and btw, we are, in fact, tourists.) The food is good enough, (desserts were very good) and if you like wine, they are generous with the Tennat :) All that said, if what you’re after is a great show, then it’s worth every penny. It’s definitely family friendly!

Worst travel experience-EVER
After making a reservation a month in advance and receiving several confirmation messages to include the actual tickets specifying confirmed 8:30pm time and place at 1810 Gaboto in Montevideo, UY we were dropped off by our driver to a closed and locked dark building on a seedy street at night. We made attempts to reach the theater by phone to find no answer.
Response from the operator: ??? So you went to Gaboto 1810 and don´t found our restaurante ? Are you sure you went to Gaboto 1810 ?

Nice show, disappointing meal
The show itself was nice but not outstanding, although some of the singers were excellent. The food was mediocre and not worth the price we paid.

Fun night with dancing
We really enjoyed the dinner and show. There was a lot of variety in the show with singing and dancing. 💃 The show was in Spanish and even though we are English speaking only we still enjoyed it!

Good if watching tango and candombe for the first time
If this is your first time watching tango or samba, this show is a good introduction, but if you have been to Argentina and Brazil and watched tango and samba, you will be a bit disappointed. Nice and intimate ambiance with 15 tables max. The performance was 90 minutes long with three dance troupes showcasing each type of dance. The tango dances were interspersed with a man and a woman singing, so there were only three tango dance performances. As for the food, hte main dish was OK. My husband and daughter ordered the fish which I thought was better than the steak I ate; it was kind of hard to chew on so I ate only 2/3 of it. The Uruguayan tannaz wine was good and so was the medio medio (mix of white wine and sparkling wine) - drinks were open bar - all you can drink. We also enjoyed the desserts.

The best Montevideo Dinner Show. Tango and Candombe. El Milongon.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montevideo.
How much does The best Montevideo Dinner Show. Tango and Candombe. El Milongon. cost?
+
Prices start at $98 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montevideo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The best Montevideo Dinner Show. Tango and Candombe. El Milongon. take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montevideo is not rushed.
Is The best Montevideo Dinner Show. Tango and Candombe. El Milongon. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 52 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montevideo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Is The best Montevideo Dinner Show. Tango and Candombe. El Milongon. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The best Montevideo Dinner Show. Tango and Candombe. El Milongon.?
+
Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montevideo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montevideo and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The best Montevideo Dinner Show. Tango and Candombe. El Milongon. start and how do I get there?

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Montevideo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Montevideo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
