"Tablaos are bars and restaurants with live flamenco, and most of them in town are more about the performance than the food. This historic, family-owned La Latina spot not only features a show with some of the country’s most famous dancers and musicians but also prioritizes the food you’ll enjoy during it—quality, farm-to-table ingredients turn into dishes you remember long after the night ends. The menu is full of unexpected flavors that liven up traditional Spanish plates, like seasonal watermelon gazpacho that’s exceptionally refreshing on balmy evenings. You’ll always find fresh seafood, usually just simply grilled but so naturally flavorful you may just shout “Olé” along with the performers. The secret to experiencing this place to the max is the sherry menu. Corral has more than 1,000 different types, including one-of-a-kind vintage bottles you likely won’t find elsewhere." - lori zaino

"Flamenco, dinner, and a show may sound like a cliché, but you won’t regret paying a visit to arguably the most famous tablao in the world. Guests not only get to witness the true soul of flamenco, with an awe-inspiring show that rotates every week, but they also get to sample chef David García’s Michelin-starred tasting menu honoring Basque roots — in an exclusive setting of just four tables. As for the evening’s beverage, let David Ayuso, the restaurant’s sommelier and sherry expert, guide the way. Best for: Catching rising stars of flamenco, like the dazzling el Yiyo." - Paula Móvil
