Great 3 courses tapas, very generous and good quality food, great show and performance with excellent artists. Everyone is very welcoming to ensure the best experience possible
This was my very first flamenco show, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip to Seville. I booked the show with a drink package and, when I arrived, I was escorted to a table right next to the stage. It couldn’t have been a better seat; I had an amazing view of the performers throughout the evening. It looked like guests who had booked the dinner or tapas packages were seated earlier, so the seating times seem to be organised according to the package you’ve booked. One thing to note is that photography and video recording weren’t allowed during the performance, so unfortunately I don’t have any photos to share from the show itself. However, it did help everyone stay focused on the performance rather than their phones. The first dancer was a lady who seemed incredibly experienced. Her expressions, confidence and passion were absolutely beautiful to watch, and she immediately set the tone for the evening. The second performer, a slender gentleman, danced with so much energy and emotion. Of all the dancers, he struck me as the most passionate and completely drew the audience into his performance. The third dancer was a younger lady wearing a stunning dress. She was excellent as well, but for me the first dancer still remained the standout female performer of the night. Then came the fourth dancer. Wow. He was absolutely beautiful & incredible. His movements were powerful yet elegant, and I genuinely couldn’t take my eyes off him whenever he was on stage. He was easily one of the most memorable performers of the evening. The whole show was accompanied by fantastic live singers and a guitarist, who were amazing in their own right and added so much atmosphere to the performance. The music, singing and dancing all came together to create a truly immersive experience. At the end of the show, they were selling castanets, so I bought a pair as a souvenir to remember a wonderful evening. If you’re visiting Seville and want to experience authentic flamenco, I’d definitely recommend this show. It was a fantastic introduction to flamenco and left me wanting to see more.
Absolutely unforgettable! This flamenco show exceeded every expectation we had. The performers were incredibly talented, passionate, and captivating from beginning to end. The atmosphere was intimate and authentic, making the entire experience feel truly special. And the food... outstanding. Every course was delicious, beautifully presented, and far better than we expected from a dinner show. The drinks, service, and hospitality were equally excellent. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely appreciated us. If you're visiting Seville, don't hesitate to book this experience. It was one of the highlights of our trip and worth every euro. We would absolutely do it again!
Really great time would recommend. Positives: easy to book, great ambiance (room was packed), great table (right at the front), 6 tapas dishes (but you couldn't choose so wasn't keen on the fish), great service, passionate dancers. Negatives (if pushed) time was wrong on ticket it said 8pm but didnt start until 8.30pm and the dancing not till close to 10pm, overcharged for drinks we didnt get (but was resolved), couldn't take a photo (fair but would have loved one at the end whilst bowing). Overall would recommend if your in Seville 💃
Excellent! As they say!! Impressive, highly recommended
It as not what I expected but very entertaining the food was good. Venue was intimate and you can see from everywhere. Location easy to get to.
Absolutely great show! A must while in Seville. Wish I could experience it again & absolutely will next time I’m back in Seville
This was truly an excellent experience. The passion of the performers was unbelievable. We entered and they gave us phenomenal seats. A table right up against the stage. Food was excellent as well.
The show was amazing, the dancers were fantastic! We had a drink and tapas, the wine was lovely and the food was ok.
Very delicious dinner with drinks. Excellent service. The flamenco performance exceeded my expectations. It was a root show that noticed the involvement, emotion and professionalism of the dancers and singers.
