Flamenco de Leones

We did not enjoy our experience here—unfortunately, the food, service, and performance were all a miss. We came in knowing the show would naturally be in Spanish, but had hoped for at least a short English explanation or hand out at the beginning to give some context about what we were watching. Without that, it was hard to connect with the performance. The food was nearly inedible, and the preset tapas menu (€25 per person) felt like very poor value. Salty , cold and not fresh. Staff seemed disorganized and didn’t even explain what dishes were being served. All in all, perhaps the show might be enjoyable for someone who already has more background in flamenco and speaks Spanish , but for us it was not worth it.

I have been to many flamenco tablao shows in Spain. Big or small, expensive or affordable. None is as unique as Flamenco de Leones. The venue, atmosphere, staff, and food, in particular, were top notch. The tapas they served were superb, all one-of-a-kind creations. The restaurant is beautiful. And we were treated to a unique experience with a spectacular show. An unforgettable experience. A must-visit again on my next trip.

Amazing experience. The best performers in the city. Visit and you will not be disappointed that’s for sure!!!

Great venue and great show, much much better than I was hoping for. Places like this are often a hit or miss. They can be tourist traps or they can lead to superb nights. Incredibly happy this was the second case 🙂 I opted for the full dinner and I was joined last minute by 2 friends. The location is beautiful and super central. The beauty starts from the staircase that leads to the upped floor, where the show takes place. One is welcome in a beautiful place, a bit dark to create atmosphere, all in the tones of black & red. We were lead into a first room where we were delighted with a steam of very good appetizers. An highlight for me was certainly the ice cream made of cheese twirls. About 90 mins later we were led in another room for the main. I hade. The most delicious and tender ox tail. After that, 4 mignon desserts. They were all very good. The soft flower of chocolate twirls was beautiful to see. Then the show. 1 hour of high quality flamenco that we could enjoy sipping a generous glass of Porto, on the house. What a magical night 💃

I have already seen flamenco shows in Spain before but this one had some positive and negatives. The positive - the location is beautiful in the heart of the city in an elegant location. Perfect for a night out in Madrid. The music and the performance were great, not the best show I’ve seen in Spain but the performance was beautiful nevertheless. The negative - we were sat towards the back on the elevated platform and honestly they shouldn’t even have seats there. The waiters around us dropping and breaking glassware, the clanking of bottles in the kitchen and the bright glare of the sound booth was so distracting. I was completely taken out of the show experience and couldn’t be immersed in the performance. Also the show is simply too short. The other shows I’ve gone to had at least 6 sets of performances. This was about 4.

The performance was lively, vibrant and captivating. Enjoy the whole experience the moment you walk into Flamenco de Leones! The crew is professional, friendly and nothing but service excellence. Enjoy the tapas and wine while you are drawn into the creative performance of Flamenco.

I pre-booked here on 10/26 and received a confirmation email for a show tonight 11/19 and received a call less than 3 hours before the show to let us know "it was impossible to fufill our reservation" i asked them why and they said "they had no idea how we were able to book." they said "we could switch to another day" but this was our last night and we were really looking forward to this event to conclude our holiday. they said that they will refund us and give us a free show on our next trip to Madrid. As Americans, this is not a quick trip or somewhere we can travel to easily. fair warning: DO NOT BOOK HERE if you want to be sure you actually have a reservation. update: they messaged me an hour later, after posting this review, to offer to book us at another venue and pay for it. this too was sadly too late because we rushed to book another venue for tonight after their abrupt cancellation.

Could not recommend Flamenco de Leones enough. We had limited time in Madrid and wanted to see authentic Flamenco and this was definitely it. It was such a breathtaking performance by all and truly a wonderful experience. If you are looking for Flamenco in Madrid, you have to go to Flamenco de Leones.
