About the Show

Corral de la Moreria is located in the center of Madrid, very close to the Royal Palace. The tablao was founded by Manuel del Rey in 1956, making it one of the oldest, continuously run flamenco establishments in the country. The ambience is historic, and the decoration features items and architectural details from the 18th and 19th centuries, creating a traditional atmosphere typical of the oldest tablaos. It is the stage where the most important artists have performed in the history of flamenco, and therefore the most important stage in history of flamenco (Paco de Lucia premiered "Entre Dos Aguas", Camarón went on stage when he was 13 years old, Pastora Imperio, Antonio Gades, El Cigala, Mario Maya, Blanca del Rey and a very long list of additional performers).

In addition to being a flamenco tablao, Corral de la Morería is a show production center, a choreographic production center and a music production center. Its owner and artistic director Blanca del Rey has toured the most important theaters in the world with her company and received in recent years, among many others, the following awards:

Reviews

It was a nice experience overall. The show was great, and the food presentation was beautiful. Although it's a Michelin-starred restaurant, the flavors didn’t quite suit our taste, 2 of the sea bass dish was undercooked. The service was okay, but staff seemed to be rushing before the start of the show, which affected the experience. Additionally, the sewage smell outside and coming from the bathrooms was unpleasant and needs to be addressed. Given the price, it doesn’t quite justify the overall experience.
4/5 stars only because of the obstructed view. If there was a clear view then I would give a 5. The performers were amazing! But the audience space allows good view for only the very front tables on the main side of the stage otherwise there is a giant pole in the way and the dining room space is not open.
I had a mixed experience here. Didn't do the dinner so that added to our opinion as you're expected to show up the same time as the dinner guests and wait approximately 45 minutes for them to eat before the show even starts. Everyone that didn't select dinner as an option was sat in the back corner area. Dinner guests were given definitely better and preferential viewing. However because the venue is so small there really isn't any bad seating and we were able to view the show and hear everything very clearly. Sitting in the back corner it was warmer compared to the other more open areas. If I had realized that I would have to sit for so long watching dinner guest be served I might have a better opinion but sitting for 45 minutes just watching people eat was not what I was expecting.
The Flamenco is astonishing! Without much knowledge I thought it was mainly the dance but the songs are such an integral part of it. Both songs and dance are very emotional and breathtaking. The main male dancer sings equally well and has very good voice. Several background singers can dance as well and it’s fun. The food is average for a Michelin restaurant but the prices are relatively low (higher than non-Michelin restaurants though).
We didn’t have the best experience at Corral de Moriera. We went to the early seating and show on a Saturday night which I definitely do NOT recommend. We arrived on time at 6:30 for the 8 PM show, but the place was so busy that we didn’t receive our 3rd and 4th courses until the show had started, so we ate those in complete darkness and were unable to see our food at all. It didn’t help that not once but three times, the server brought food or drinks to us that wasn’t ours. The tables were a mere hands-width (I measured) from each other - fortunately we had lovely people next to us but it was impossible to have any type of private conversation. The food was okay and nicely presented, but was barely lukewarm when it arrived. In my opinion, the food was not up to the expected standards of a Michelin-starred restaurant. We enjoyed the flamenco show but were seated in the far back corner against the wall so had difficulty seeing the entire stage, and I had to sit with my head turned to the left and leaning forward for an hour, which was uncomfortable. After the show we were rushed to the door so they could get ready for the next seating - this goes against everything we have seen of Spanish culture where one usually lingers after a meal. If the restaurant removed about 1/3 of its tables, it would make the entire experience for more pleasurable for the customer, but it is clear they simply want to make as much money from unsuspecting tourists as possible. I cannot recommend.
The singing and flamenco were incredible and the food was truly phenomenal. However the service fell short our table’s order was initially forgotten and we waited quite a while as other tables were served bread while ours was repeatedly overlooked. It wasn’t until the second course that they took our order and brought us bread. Once our order was in the food arrived promptly. Overall, an evening of unforgettable performances with delicious food.
