Tango and Dash
Perfect timing for the Tango Market. The new spot is opening this afternoon just across the street from its sister restaurant, Tango Contemporary Cafe. The idea is simple: to offer the same delicious fare at a faster pace.
Sunday – Finally, a chance to try that new recipe. The first bite sends flavors dancing across your tastebuds.
Tuesday – Still good, but you toss in some salsa to liven up your leftovers.
Friday – The jig is up. You can barely look at your plate as you trot out a sixth day of the same-old same-old. You desperately need a new taste to get you back into a rhythm again.
So there's no sit-down service at the market. Step up to the counter and swing one of Chef Goran Streng's specialties: European waffles and pastries for breakfast; paninis, salads, and chicken or anchovy (a Finnish dish) pot pies for lunch.
That's not all. For the first time you can get Tango's signature dishes sold by the pound. Gourmet grab-and-go includes duck confit, braised chicken, or the famed gravlax, a cured salmon usually used in Scandanavian cuisine. Or pick up newly bottled versions of Streng's homemade dressings and sauces guaranteed to jazz up your home-cooked meal.
And before you go how about a cup of the cafe's distinctive coffee? Or what owner Tami Orozco promises will be a real old-fashioned malted milkshake?
Giving you a gourmet-on-the-run reason to kick up your meals.
Tango Market is located in the storefronts of Ward Center right next to Borders at 1200 Ala Moana Blvd. It is open from 7 a.m. – 9 p.m.
