Cafe Tu Tu Tango, Tapas restaurant in International Drive, Orlando, United States.
Cafe Tu Tu Tango is a tapas restaurant on International Drive in Orange County, Florida, set inside a building with an open floor plan and several connected dining areas. The walls are covered with works by local artists that change over time, giving the space the feel of a working gallery.
The restaurant opened in December 1998 on International Drive and has been running at the same location since then. A second location in California eventually closed, leaving this Orlando spot as the remaining one.
Local artists paint inside the dining room during service, and their works hang on the walls around the tables. Performers move through the space between guests, so the meal and the show happen at the same time in the same room.
The restaurant sits on International Drive, one of the main tourist roads in Orlando, making it easy to reach from most nearby hotels on foot or by car. Weekends and evenings tend to be busy, so arriving earlier in the evening usually means a shorter wait.
The art on the walls is for sale, and in many cases the artist who made it is painting just a few feet away at the same moment. A guest can walk out with an original piece bought directly from the person who created it that same evening.
