Booked for the flamenco show during my dinner on getyourguide for $7.
Food was 3/5. Ordered the 3 course chefs menu. Tuna tartare was quite fishy and the sauce a little overpowering - probably to attempt to mask the fishiness. For mains I got the Cod which was a little tough and rubbery, the salt for that dish was uneven, some parts acceptably bland but others heavily salty and at one point I bit into a salt crystal. The pre-dessert lemon sorbet on a small bed of crumbs was the highlight and best dish of the menu - unfortunately didn’t get a photo as it looked underwhelming on a single spoon - but it was really well balanced in taste and texture. The crazy cake for dessert was my next favourite, the popping candy bits were probably a bit much for me but it was interesting. With a glass of wine it totaled 50 euros.
The flamenco performance was nice, the three performers were great and it was good for dinner entertainment, just don’t expect something of theatre quality.
Service was 100%, all the staff were super nice from arrival to exit and made me feel very comfortable. I really appreciated their attention to detail.
Some reviews say it’s a tourist trap. I would agree - everyone’s a tourist, but well if you’re one too, it is a comfortable experience and if you don’t want to spend 20+ euros and hours at a proper show, then this is a nice alternative.
Just be careful, I think there’s a minimum spend - the table beside me did not meet that and had to order more or incur some kind of surcharge - and they did each have a portion of food and some ordered drinks too so the minimum mustn’t be insignificant. It would have left a bad taste if it happened to me. Also when they asked if I wanted water, I hesitantly said tap water will do because I did have a bottle of water with me, but nevertheless was still charged for bottled water.
Do I regret spending a dinner here - not at all. Would I do it again - nope
