Tanguera is a true invitation to travel, transporting guests into the bewitching soul of Buenos Aires. From the moment you enter the restaurant, you'll be seduced by its warm, colorful and elegant setting, where every detail of the decor is carefully thought out to evoke the spirit of Argentine tango.
At Tanguera, every dish tells a story of heritage, passion and creativity.
The atmosphere is both friendly and intimate, as if you were stepping into the living room of an old friend.
More than just a meal, it's a warm interlude where a sincere welcome and a passion for sharing create a deeply human, almost familiar atmosphere. A place where you immediately feel at home.
To begin this sensory voyage to Argentina, Tanguera rolls out a cocktail menu as elegant as it is inspired, where revisited classics and in-house creations rub shoulders with panache.
Among the must-haves, the Pisco Sour seduces with its lemony freshness and silky foam, while the Caipirinha comes in fruity variations, enhanced by exotic touches of mango or red fruit.
But it's the signature cocktails that stand out, starting with the Tanguera, a bold blend of smoky mezcal, juicy passion fruit and a hint of chili pepper, for a vibrant, unexpected finish. A smooth or fiery introduction to the evening.
At Tanguera, baked empanadas are a veritable ode to Argentine street food, offered in pairs (€11) and available in tasty recipes: beef, corn & cheese, spinach, chipotle chicken or herbed provolone. Crisp on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth on the inside, they're seductive from the very first bite. A suggestion of the day completes this gourmet farandole.
For starters, let yourself be tempted by ceviches with Andean accents, awakening your taste buds with their freshness and spicy notes straight from the Pampas. As for the prawn tiradito, its elegance will win you over: shelled prawns, sweet potato, avocado and aji amarillo sauce make up a plate as colorful as it is tasty. Two fine appetizers to kick-start your journey.
For the main course, try the very exotic Salmon con salsa de mangos. or the very typical Pastel de Choclo (Gratin of mashed corn, minced beef, chicken and vegetables), Argentinian dishes almost impossible to find in Paris.
Of course, you'll find Argentina's finest meats, tender cuts of meat grilled in the Argentinean style, enhanced by vibrant touches of Peruvian peppers.
The à la carte menu includes BIFE ANCHO (300g), Noix d'Entrecôte, LOMO (250g), Filet de boeuf, and for the more carnivorous, the famous 650g T-BONE.
An original specialty is Pamplona de carne, a steak roll topped with cured ham, fresh mozzarella tomatoes, peppers and chimichurri. Of course, all dishes that include beef are made with Argentine meat!
For dessert, we love the pear poached in Malbec, but also the gourmet PAMPITA (Mi-cuit cœur fondant au Dulce de Leche et boule de glace à la banane).
Here, every bite is an invitation to travel, between the warmth of the tango and the magic of the Andes.
Lovers of fine Argentinean wines will be delighted with a selection of some fifteen wines served by the glass or bottle. The wine list includes the FINCA EL ORIGEN Estate (Malbec) and the very top-of-the-range GRAN ENEMIGO "Gualtallary" (Cabernet Franc / Malbec) 100/100 Parker.
On the beer front, fans will appreciate the famous Quilmes Argentina, emblematic of the country, as well as Peroni Nastro Azzurro, for a light and refreshing Italian alternative.
Whether it's a dinner for two or an evening out with friends, La Tanguera promises an immersive, out-of-this-world experience, where every bite and every note of music transports you thousands of kilometers to the heart of Argentina.
