For those of you who miss the dulce de leche and asado barbecues of Argentina, salvation is at hand! 

El Matador restaurant is opening in the next few weeks at 196 Cuba St.
You can follow their progress on their Facebook page. 
www.facebook.com/ElMatadorWellington

El Matador is still some weeks away from opening and we are in the early stages of developing a website...  
Any help to spread the word would be verymuch appreciated!

FYI in addition to asado on the menu, El Matador will also offer delicious empanadas, dulce du leche panqueque, churros & hot chocolate and many more goodies...........

Hi all

Well, we moved in and had every intention of having several bbqs whilst the sun was shining. But... the sun didn't shine, got busy and now are only left with a few days left of days light saving!  So... to say goodbye to the sun and finally start 'warming' the house; we're going to have a 'sunset' bbq for the Tango crowd.  All are welcome.  This will be on Saturday, 31st from 6.30 ish, so peps could come to have a good look around the garden.  Please bring either meat for bbq, dessert or other main and drinks.

The address is 42B Darlington Road, Miramar.  You will need to park out on the road.

Please indicate if you coming along with what you might bring along for kai.  (I know this isn't keeping with potluck tradition ;-)

Cheers and hope to see you here,

Miriam and Gordie

!Hola Milongueros!

Just to confirm as per the Tango Nelson website, the new times to tango at Cafe del Tango are now 8pm to 11pm!
every Saturday night and will be continuing as usual throughout the holiday period at Kush, 5 Church St. Nelson city

And on Saturday 24th December there will be a night of special music and celebration for Lorraine's birthday, with a mixture of classic tanda-style tango (as always!) plus salsa, bachata, merengue, reggae and who knows what else!

So if you are planning to come to Sunny Nelson during the holidays and have not made it yet to this casual intimate venue, do drop in to dance to some classic Tango music, enjoy a fine glass of wine or catch up over superb coffee or chili chocolate!! and maybe bring your non-tango friends too have a wee look-see to watch tangueros dancing the ultimate dance...but please warn them Tango can be highly addictive!!

For any first time visitors to Nelson, KUSH is at 5 Church Street which runs parallel with Trafalgar Street one block west of the Cathedral steps in the heart of Nelson

¡Bailamos muchos!
See you there!

"Cada momento que bailamos Tango añade una hora en nuestras vidas"
