Esquina Carlos Gardel features the most delicious dishes of the International Cuisine, as well as typical Argentine plates and an exclusive selection of wines. It is a three level building, the upper two forming the VIP sector.
By the end of the XIXth. century, when in Buenos Aires the tango started to spread and melt with the soul of the folk, mixing slowly with the essence of the native and immigrant people, one of its most picturesque quarters was “El Abasto”, where labor was in the air during the day, and tango pervaded the night. While slowly growing around the supplying market after which the quarter took its name (in Spanish, abastecer means to supply) “El Abasto” neighborhood witnessed the rise of an indisputable popular idol: Carlos Gardel.
The “Morocho del Abasto” (the “Abasto” brown-haired), as he was called, grew and shaped in that unique and unusual environment. According to the memories, it is said that when “Carlitos” managed to sneak away from his custodians at the St Pious the Xth school, called by a mysterious “magnet”, he used to wander by the narrow and noisy streets of the neighborhood, among workers, rascals and scoundrels that tried to get their daily “opportunities”, and among dealers that were piling up poultry cages and vegetables crates.
This special environment nourished Gardel’s outstanding personality, the one that rapidly leaded him both to succeed and to achieve the dimension of an indisputable tango icon.
Back then, Carlitos Gardel used to gather with his friends and mates for dining, staying up late, singing or simply waiting for the following day’s sunrise. Today, at the cul-de-sac is “La Esquina de Carlos Gardel” (Carlos Gardel’s Corner).
