Show-Only, Dinner Or VIP Gourmet: Choosing Your Option
Four ways to book the same night at Cerrito 570 — what actually separates them, beyond price.
Check availability ↗What each option actually changes
| Option | Main difference | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Show only | no table, seated for the performance alone | a first visit, or dinner already booked elsewhere |
| Show & dinner | a table inside the theatre from early evening | one booking covering the whole night |
| VIP gourmet dinner | wider menu, premium wine, transfer, better table placement | celebrations, or wanting it all arranged |
| Pre-show tango class | an hour of instruction before dinner | first-timers who want to try it, not just watch |
What show-only actually gets you
The show-only ticket, from US$45, is the cheapest way into the room — a seat for the 9:00pm curtain and the full ninety-minute production, with nothing before or after built into the booking. It suits a visit slotted between dinner somewhere else and a late night out, or simply a preference for watching the production without committing to a full evening at the venue. Because pricing on GetYourGuide listings can shift with the calendar, it's worth reading the exact figure at checkout rather than assuming any number quoted elsewhere still holds on the night you want.
What the standard dinner option adds
The dinner option puts you at a table inside the auditorium itself from earlier in the evening, with dinner served before the curtain rises — the same booking then carries through to the show, so there's no second reservation or change of room involved. It's priced on the same listing as the show-only ticket rather than as a separate product, which is worth checking at the point of booking since the exact figure can move with the date and season. None of the four options changes what's performed on stage — the show itself runs the same production regardless of which ticket a given table has bought.
What makes the VIP gourmet tier different
The VIP gourmet dinner sits on a separate listing, from US$133, and adds a noticeably wider menu — four starter options, six main-course options and four dessert options on the venue's own current pricing page — alongside premium wine, hotel transfer and a table in the theatre's better-placed section. It's built for anyone who'd rather not choose a standard dinner and hope for a good table, since the transfer and the seating are handled as part of the price. The two dinner tiers are the more common bookings among reviewers describing their visit, which tracks with dinner being served inside the same room as the performance rather than requiring a separate outing beforehand.
The pre-show tango class as a fourth option
The tango class isn't a tier so much as an add-on that sits alongside either dinner option — an hour on your feet before the meal starts, aimed at people who've never danced tango rather than anyone with existing experience. It's worth booking deliberately rather than assuming it's included, since it's listed separately from both the standard and VIP dinner packages. For a solo visitor or a couple without a strong preference either way, the deciding factor is usually less about the food and more about whether a specific table position is worth paying extra for.
If you can't decide
For a first visit with no strong preference, the standard dinner option is the middle path — a table for the night without the VIP tier's added cost, and without the show-only ticket's lack of a seat to call your own for the evening. The VIP tier earns its price mainly on nights where the seating or the transfer genuinely matter, such as a birthday or an anniversary where arriving without a car to worry about is worth paying for. Because the pre-show class is optional rather than default, skipping it doesn't change your seating or table for dinner and the show afterward — it's a genuinely separate add-on.
Booking either dinner tier at the door isn't an option
Because tables are limited to the room's own dinner-service capacity, neither dinner option is something to plan on booking on arrival — the show-only ticket is the one option realistically available at short notice, and even that is subject to the same availability as everything else on the listing. Whichever tier is booked, arriving with the confirmation in hand rather than relying on memory of what was included avoids any confusion with staff at the door.
