Located in the commercial circuit of Plaza Cuicuilco, Piantao transcends the format of the restaurant specialized in Argentine cuts by integrating the culture of the sounds of the pampas. Its interior architecture takes advantage of high ceilings, sober decoration with warm woods, large windows, and a table layout that allows visibility toward the wooden area destined for live music.
The musical identity is linked to traditional tango, milonga, and ballads of Argentine folklore. During its musical evenings, the venue frequently receives performers of the bellows bandoneon and couples of dancers who intervene in the space between the tables, providing a show that rescues the classic sounds of Buenos Aires.
The public is family-oriented and adult, attracting residents of the southern neighborhoods and couples’ celebrations. The clothing style tends to lean toward smart casual. The atmosphere allows appreciating the music and dances while tasting dinner at a moderate volume.
The grill and the embers are the gastronomic heart of the place. Orders include Argentine empanadas, choripanes, imported meat cuts, salads, and pastas. The bar has an extensive menu of South American wines by the bottle, ideal for pairing. Classic cocktails and digestive liqueurs are also offered, served by a team of waiters who discreetly transit during the dance numbers.
Access is linked to à la carte food consumption, and to secure a table with a good location on tango nights, telephone reservation is highly recommended.
