While Cafe Tortoni still pulls an even distribution of locals to tourists, the tango shows offered by the long-time establishment are clearly geared toward the latter. Don't be surprised if a show's audience is less than ten percent Argentine. Be that as it may, the numerous shows are well-choreographed and presented, and present a wonderful and (cheaper) opportunity to appreciate the local dance. Expect to pay between $13 and $20 per person for a one-hour show, with prices depending on the type of show and the location (shows are offered in a back room and a basement room). Cafe service is offered prior to a show's beginning, with everything from coffee and tea to wine and light snacks on offer.
