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.

Reviews
I have mixed feelings writing this review.
The place: I was looking for a place that wouldn’t be a tourist trap but eventually ended up in a civilized version of one :) don’t get me wrong - the place is efficiently run, food served swiftly, you might need to remind about a bottle of water you ordered a few times but generally, definitely a good service.
The show: in one word, impressive (with a disclaimer that it was my first time watching flamenco, so I don’t really have a good benchmark). It was clear that the performers have been giving 150%, and the show was intense and mesmerizing. From what I understood from the website, they invite different dancers to perform there, check the website to find out whom to expect.
The food: descent but overpriced. The cheapest menu was 49,95 Euro. I liked the sound of the menu Alegria which in combination with a glass of meh white wine costed me 69,15 Euro. The scallop carpaccio was 3/10, the sea bass was 6/10, the lamb rack 8/10 - all portions are tiny so you won’t overeat.
In summary, give it a go, or better find a local person and ask for their recommendation!
Even if people may think or label Corral de la Moreria a tourist trap, I have only one word to say about the show and dinner and that is "WOW!!"
We have tried our fair share of dinner shows and this is one of the best from the standpoint of the food and the show. This is the first time any dinner show has offered a vegan menu option. My wife was skeptical and went in with low expectations but was surprised and impressed at the end of her meal. I ordered from the 2nd most expensive menu option and was equally impressed by the flavors, tastes and presentation. It is a small but crowded venue and the place has the dinner service down to a science. On top of that, they put on a beautiful and fantastic flamenco show. The dancers, singers and musicians were wonderful and you can't help but get drawn into their world. I did not need to understand the language to enjoy the evening.
During our visit to Spain, we saw 4 different Flamenco shows. Each show is unique and emotional in their own way, but I loved this show at Corral de la Moreria the best.
We were warmly welcomed and even received a small bottle of cava as a gift for our anniversary, which was a lovely touch. The venue isn’t very large and was fully booked, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. Service was very good — attentive and helpful.
Since our menu included both fish and meat, we opted for wine by the glass rather than a full bottle. We were recommended a glass of red wine priced around €30. While the wine was good, it was served a bit too cold for a red.
The food was okay, but not particularly memorable. We also noticed that portion sizes seemed to vary between tables.
We spent around €450 for the evening. While it was a unique experience, especially thanks to the great show, I’m not sure I’d choose to repeat it at that price point.
A must see for your trip to Madrid! This is the oldest flamenco show in city center. Great performers and the food was surprisingly good! Celebrated my birthday here and they made it special with a petite birthday brownie just for me. Nice touch!
Okay, so the show itself is a 5/5. They are truly exceptional artists and at the top of their craft.
The wait staff is also wonderful, kind, and attentive. Very professional.
However, the food is really, really bad. Like just barely above plane food. How in the world this has a Michelin star is beyond me. And if you book the 9:30 dinner/show (which I did because I figured the show started at like 10), you will have to wait until 11:15 for the show to start.
So, if you can get tickets to just the show, do that!
What a great dinner and show! This was a highlight of our visit to Madrid. The wine at dinner was excellent and the 5 course meal was a little different but it’s always fun to expand the palate and try new things. It was a large room so you were seated in close proximity of others but if you enjoy that as we do you’ll have fun! Most of the people near us were from the States so that made the conversations flow easier!
The show was wonderful and the performers were excellent! A must do in Madrid!

Our first flamenco show. It was very entertaining. The food with red and white wines were delicious too. We had potato soup, lamb chops, sea bass, chicken, french toast, and salmon. Vegan options were available. Great service. Many tables are jammed into a small space, though it worked. Prices comparable.
I recently attended this flamenco show and had mixed feelings about the experience. While the performance was certainly energetic, it didn’t feel like a traditional flamenco show. The focus was heavily on the male dancers, with less attention given to the female performer. There was also a noticeable role reversal aspect, which seemed like a more modern take on flamenco rather than a classic interpretation.
As for the food, it was okay—nothing particularly memorable. I do wish they had more Halal-friendly options, as the choices felt quite limited.
On a positive note, the service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and did his best to accommodate our requests.
Overall, I would not recommend attending this show.
We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant in Madrid, which surprisingly holds a Michelin star. From the moment we arrived, our table was completely ignored. We noticed that every other table was being served bread with olive oil, but ours was skipped. Only after they brought out the first course (the starter) and we asked why we hadn’t received any bread like the other guests, did they finally bring it — without any explanation.
The food itself was extremely underwhelming. The fish was so salty it was literally inedible. When we told the staff about it, due to their poor English skills, they misunderstood and brought us extra salt instead. The veal dish had an unpleasant smell, and the lamb wasn’t any better — lacking in flavor and overall very disappointing.
It’s truly hard to believe such poor-quality food is served at a Michelin-starred restaurant. The flamenco show was also quite average and nothing special.
Overall, we do not recommend this place. We were very disappointed with both the food and the experience.
What an amazing experience. So much passion in this dance. This location was recommended by Don Pedro. An older gentleman that owns a small jewelry place around the corner. He said if you want to see and experience real authentic flamenco, go here. So we did and it was sensational.
I really hate giving negative reviews but feel I have an obligation to future customers since I read the reviews myself. I did not read carefully enough and was not aware that my ticket did NOT include the price of dinner. Although frustrated with was was now, at minimum, TWICE as expensive as I thought, I was hopeful the meal would be amazing. It was not. I have eaten at many restaurants worth much more than this and was severely disappointed in the quality. Simply putting unique items together does not mean that a meal is enjoyable and worth the cost. Additionally, they charged extra for bread and water. This seems ridiculous considering the cost. Although this is typical in some countries, ie Italy, this was the only restaurant that did it to us in Spain. I was frustrated that I spent over $350 on this experience and wished I'd looked at more options. I cannot attest to the quality of the show since it's the only Flamenco show I've attended. The dancers did seem to put in a lot of effort and that's the only reason this gets 2 stars.
You pay a premium price to watch a performance in a two-star venue.
Venue structure: The building is not suitable for a performance—there are several columns in the restaurant that, depending on where you sit, block your view. I had to ask to be moved to another table.
Service: The show started half an hour late, and during the performance, waiters constantly walked back and forth serving tables. Besides obstructing the view, you also hear the clinking of cutlery and people eating to the sound of the guitar—TERRIBLE! Moreover, if you sit near the kitchen, as I did, you’ll hear the waiters chatting the entire time.
The dancers: They are good, but I prefer traditional flamenco. There was too much emphasis on the male dancer—he performed for about 80% of the time. The female dancer, who was excellent, only danced for 20% of the show. The traditional facial expressions and skirt movements, so characteristic of flamenco, were lacking because, as mentioned, the male dancer was the star. He is talented, but overall, the performance was disappointing.
Summary: I have seen flamenco performances in other parts of Spain, and trust me—for less than 50 euros, you can watch a first-class show.
Very disappointing and very expensive. We opted for the dinner and show based on the reputation of the chef and the venue. What a mistake. 250€ later.., the flamenco was overly amplified and although technically OK, it lacked energy and sincerity. Sightlines form the tables were poor for some diners. The food was beyond disappointing. The main course of chicken “stewed in a traditional way” was so tough and tasteless we both left it on the plate after a few mouthfuls (not at all picked up by the waiter). Wine was overpriced with no moderate options. My partner was violently ill after consuming very little but the soup appetizer course. After viewing many flamenco performances in Granada and Seville we were looking forward to comparing Madrid based flamenco. Not a good start.
My family was here for dinner and a flamenco show. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to the end. We all loved the food. The potato soup was one of the most delicious soups that I have ever had. One of the fish dishes was extra good, too. The banana ice cream was excellent as well. The flamenco show was terrific. My entire family truly enjoyed the experience.
Not a hotel, event venue.
A first class flamenco show and a dinner by a Michelin star chef! What a wonderful evening. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful and the wine list was very extensive. Perhaps the second time in my life I have eaten pigeon, and it was fabulous.
We bought a ticket in advance for a flamenco dance show without dinner, but we had the chance to order a glass of wine before it started. The performance lasted about an hour, and it was absolutely amazing. All the dancers were incredibly talented, and I’m so glad I attended.
Pros: Flamenco show is amazing, the food is pretty good, the waiter was quite nice
Cons: very confusingly, the 20.30 show and dinner, is the same show as the 22.30 show. So we arrived at 20.15 like good northern europeans and then had to wait between 9pm and 1030 when the show started. No information online or beforehand on this.
Also we paid extra for "dinner and show" and then you just pay loads for dinner when you arrive, so not sure why we prepaid more for dinner.
Food is probably overpriced too
Id actually give it a 2.5 if I could
I was recommended to visit this place as one of the best flamenco shows at the hotel. I purchased tickets a day in advance, excited for a combined dinner and show experience. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired.
We arrived 15 minutes early and noticed that at least 25% of the tables were still available. Despite this, we were given the absolute worst seats—located outside the main seating area, right next to the kitchen. I requested a change, and the waiter went to ask the manager. After waiting for 5–7 minutes, I was told that those better seats were reserved for people who had booked months in advance (6 months, to be exact).
This was surprising since there was no mention of early booking privileges, priority seating, or different pricing tiers on their website. As someone who purchased a regular ticket, I expected the same treatment regardless of when ticket was purchased.
When the manager eventually came over, his demeanor was incredibly aggressive and loud, making a scene as though I was a difficult customer. I had to ask him twice to lower his voice. The situation only improved when they discovered we were staying at a highly reputable hotel, at which point they suddenly decided to change our seats. The manager’s comment—“The concierge didn’t let us know you were staying there”—made it clear that the treatment here depends on your connections, not your ticket purchase.
The venue itself is very casual, and such involvement shouldn’t have been necessary to ensure fair treatment. Sadly, even after the seat change, the overall experience didn’t improve much. While the show was enjoyable, the service and food were exceptionally poor. It wasn’t expensive, but even at that price, the experience wasn’t worth the trip.
Amazing show, amazing food and amazing experience!
We had tickets for 18.30 to dinner and the flamenco show. We arrived on time and got to eat before the show started at 20.00. After you order, the food arrives quickly, as everything is well organized.
People arrived late and they got to eat the food during the show, in a dim lighting. This is not the restaurant's fault, as I saw some reviews. They take your plates as soon as you finish and immediately come with cutlery and then the food.
The staff is great, even helping you to order and explaining what you are having.
The food is, for us, a truly Michelin experience; we had the Alegrias menu and the best was the scallop carpaccio and the french toast - really flavorful. Also, the gilda sauce with the sea bass - nothing that I ever had or I think I ever will, so recommend that too.
The artists for the flamenco show are incredible. Their rhythm, voice and dancing blew us away.
For tickets, food and wine we spend under 300 euros, and the memories are forever.
This was a really tough review to give stars to. The show was 10/10, if not more. I would’ve given that a five and the food nothing. Because of that, I averaged it out to 3.
The place itself is charming and intimate. The show was incredible and I would go back just for that. The food on the other hand…was just not good.
I chose the menu that had three dishes. The starter was okay, nothing to write home about. For the main course, I chose chicken, it was in a strange tasting sauce and the chicken just didn’t taste nice, my dad sent his back, and it is really difficult to have him send back food. The dessert was sweet that it was impossible to finish it. All in all, a terrible food experience.
Superb experience here! Highly recommend you book dinner here - we have the best table and view - great treat for my birthday! The performance was outstanding, everyone was brilliant - loved the dancers and singers! Staff were great and friendly! Good was delicious - loved the lamb! Make sure you book ahead and queue on time or make a preference for table - we were right at the front!
We have been traveling to Spain for a while and decided to book this show for my birthday and paid for the show. The show was very nice but the food was Horrible, they make you to spend a minimum of 49€ per person for a fix menu that they have. Honestly I don’t think it’s worth it, don’t be fooled by all the famous people that had been there, we will never go again.
I spent my birthday here, and it was an amazing experience that I’m sure I won’t forget so soon. The food was remarkable, and the dancers, singers and guitarist made me emotional that I did not expect.
For the short review version, must go if you haven’t seen a flamenco dance.
We went early as we didn’t know if our ticket had the dinner. Apparently it was with dinner but it’s paid after your meal as there are options.
For the dining experience: our server was San Juan, he was kind enough to explian the food option of the courses, in English. He served us water immediately and asked if we wanted wine and he recommended a fairly priced one. Got the €21 per glass and it was scrimp on the serving amount. ⭐️ 👎🏻
- Bread was served and kept asking for olive oil, thrice, from two servers and it didn’t come. Asked it in Spanish as well. It came when the bread was finished and asked for more bread. Was given a smaller amount. ⭐️
- Scallop carpacio was okay but barely had scallop. ⭐️
- Smoked cheesecake was a disappointment. Please try and compare with normal cream cheese.
- Seabass & Gilda, was very plain. Grilled but nothing different apart from pureed gilda. ⭐️
- Roast Lamb is medium and was the saving grace of the Alegrias menu. The side spinach in cream was normal though.⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Caramelized french toast was okay, more like bread pudding with good milk & cream.⭐️
Then came the dance show, will not review this as I didn’t take a photo and focus on experiencing the show. I loved the skill of the dancers and guitarist. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wish they wore the traditional costumes then it would have been 5⭐️
Paid the bill and to my surprise, they charge for the bread. No wonder I didn’t get served olive oil and a proper second serving of bread.
Exiting the restaurant, I saw the Michelin 2024 sign. Thought bubble… Michelin, surely you can do a better job at this review - for the food and price, not deserved. The show was awesome though but I presume that’s not what Michelin rated.
Price reference: show €60/pax; dining €210 for 3 people. 2 Solea menu & 1 Alegrias plus 1 glass of Corrulon 2020 & Las Toscas.
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 had such a great time at the flamenco show and dinner! The performance was incredible—so much passion and energy. The main dancer was amazing, but I have to say, the guitarist really stood out. It was so cool to watch him keep up with the dancers, and his expressions while playing made it even better.
The guys who set the rhythm with clapping, stomping, and those flamenco shouts were awesome too. They really hyped up the dancers and brought the whole show to life.
The food was really good as well, which made the whole night even better. The mix of the show and the dinner was perfect. I’d definitely go back again—it was such a fun and memorable experience!
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.
Only went for the Flamenco in the afternoon show. Was outstanding - the rhythm, movement, singing - movement with grace. I wasn't sure how the seating was arranged though - we were to the side and against the wall. There was no way to reserve the seat we wanted. When approached I was told these were "best seats" - we were within 4 tables of the stage and "change was not possible". So we took our seats - to realize later before the show that someone had changed their seats.
This restaurant presents one of the most unique dining experiences you’ll ever witness. The food was cooked to absolute perfection and the dishes were very creative. The entertainment was also top tier! This restaurant deserves all of the praise it receives.
El Corral de la Morería is a magic place. Combining a dinner at the one Michelin restaurant and the flamenco show afterwards is a superb experience for locals and visitors.
A basque chef playing with the south of Spain gastronomy and winking to the north, an exclusive 4-table dining room with professional service (the venue has also a second dining for 120 diners with a more basic menu) and a great wine list managed by an sommelier with stress on rare sherry wines leads to a 5-hour special experience
We were excited about this Tablao based on the great reviews and the mention of a Michelin star. We tried to like the show, but overall this was a bit of a disappointment. They seated us behind a pillar so our view was somewhat blocked. The tables are tiny and rickety. The food was average or undercooked (the sea bass was barely cooked). The dessert was pretty good, I will give them that. Overall, I could see that the performers were doing their best and were very passionate, but it just wasn’t what I expected.
An incredible experience from start to finish! We visited in June and made a reservation for dinner and the show. (Both equally fantastic). The flamenco show was passionate, beautiful and gave us chills! The multi-course meal was wonderful and the lamb chops were the best I’ve ever had! (Also very knowledgeable of gluten allergy, and my wife had a wonderful meal). The staff was also very friendly and accommodating, and recommended some great wines. Would love to visit again!
Food fell short, but the dancing was great! Great for a family or a couple. go early to get a good seat so you’re not craning your back. It is a very small venue. Go for the dancing, skip the food!
Love the show.
This dance so full of power and passion.
I'm not sure if it's worth to eat the restaurant.
The dishes are very very small. Better to finde good restaurant and to eat there.
I took the show and the dinner for the vibes.
120 euro.
I book the show at 6:30 and it's start one hour later. I didn't like the fact that they was waiting to make the restaurant full.
Next time please book the show at 7:30 pm not to waste your time. Many people were very upset about that.
Really tried to like it but the place does mediocre food and a mediocre show, unfortunately a master of none. Food was too heavy, flavours not that great, puzzling how it got it's Michelin star. Think pub food dressed up as fine dining, unfortunately there's only so much lipstick you can put on a pig. The dancers were very talented and musicians excellent but were let down by vocals and choice of songs, I understand wanting to be authentic but at the cost of the music being enjoyable? Also the stage was far too small to allow the dancers to actually dance together, which was a huge shame. I had proof of my ticket purchase (which was booked maybe 3 months prior but wasn't on their system so they stuck us on a table that was furthest from the stage and our view restricted by a stupidly big pillar. At least we were both sat facing the stage, a lot of other tables had people facing away from the stage. Very strange arrangement of chairs. If you're going to have obstructed seating and apparently set seating then you need to offer discounted pricing for obstructed seat pricing. I've watched other dance shows in South America and elsewhere in Spain and this was the least enjoyable. Maybe go elsewhere to watch the dance and then somewhere else for a nice meal. You'd probably save money anyhow.
Memorable experience, if you are slightly considering it, you should just go for it and would find yourself completely immersed in the contagious energy of the flamenco dance and music. We got tickets to both dinner and dance at 21:30. The evening is well paced out in an organized manner and the staff are professional and attentive. An intimate setting for a magical evening with nicely curated menu.
Incredible flamenco experience. We booked the dinner and show starting at 6:30PM.
If you are having a late dinner just book the show early and you might be assigned a good table. It's worth it regardless.
The dinner quality was excellent and is a Michelin promoted experience. You can choose from 4 different set menus including a vegan option (starting at 49€) The wine selection is extensive!
It's an expensive experience if you choose everything (150€~) but if you only want to see one of the best flamenco shows in Madrid, it's definitely worth it. Booking only the show is a lot cheaper.
We just walked out of here with our underpants wet. What an energy. What a man!!! What amazing girls! a great part of the Spain culture is concentrated in one tablao. Bravo ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
and the food was delicious though
I recommend this place 100%. It is a nice one-hour-long flamenco show. The artists are very talented. They have a wine menu and great fine dining experiences to choose from. You have to buy the ticket for the show and the menu tasting separately, so it might be costly depending on your budget, but it is a great experience.
Dined here with my wife and kids (teenagers). I really had high hopes for this experience. However, the service here is not good. The waiter was very late to even introduce himself. We watched other tables, including the table, to our right got good service. They, of course, did not have our waiter. We watched as the other tables got their drinks and waited. The waiter appeared and was distracted at something behind us. We ordered a bottle of nice cava and water. The courses came out very slow to the point that the table to our right had dessert, and we were on our second course. We ordered a second bottle of water since all the glasses were dry. I really wanted a nice glass of red wine with my lamb, but the waiter never asked for a second drink order for the rest of the night. The flamenco service started, so we had our last 2 courses in the dark. We wanted to have some vintage port with our dessert course, but again, the waiter was nowhere to be found. I excused myself and went to the front desk and complained about the service. The waiter reappeared and brought the water we ordered earlier and served the remaining cava. Interestingly, no manager came to the table to check on the meal or service nor available when we left. The food here is very good and the flamenco show is excellent hence the 3 stars. For a Michellin star restaurant, it is a disappointment. I would not return as there are other equally excellent restaurants in Madrid with better service.
We had an amazing meal here and the show was fun. Went for the 6pm seating. This was booked for us so I honestly don’t know what the food was but it was delicious. I know the main course was a sea bass and short rib and there was a paella. The dessert was a five chocolate dish and the appetizer had three different tapas items. All of it was so good. The show was entertaining and I would definitely recommend if in Madrid.
We had the most fantastic evening here. We had a 21.30 table and all the waiters were attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. We had fantastic food, beautifully served and their wine list was good too. A top notcheal was followed by a mesmerising flamenco show. Absolutely breathtaking from start to finish. A thoroughly brilliant evening and I would definitely recommend. My friend is allergic to gluten and her menu and food was outstanding too.
**Unforgettable Flamenco Show and Dinner Experience at Corral de la Moreria!**
Last night's dinner and flamenco show at Corral de la Moreria was truly a highlight of my trip! Opted for the tasting menu and was delighted by the exquisite flavors, especially the pigeon dish. The wine selection complemented the meal perfectly. A word of advice—make sure to book well in advance to secure a seat with a good view, as it makes all the difference. Although we initially had to adjust our seating, the staff was accommodating. The performance itself was breathtaking, with passionate dancers, soulful singing, and masterful guitar playing capturing the essence of flamenco. This place is a must-visit for an authentic and mesmerizing experience. 5 stars for the food!
Booked dinner + flamenco show at 6pm. Program and performances were outstanding. Definitely buy tickets in advance. We are vegetarians, ordered vegan course. Appetisers and soup were amazing, main course was blah and the deserts were omg!! This is the place where you can enjoy some Spanish delicacies while cherishing the culture and music. Giving 4 star as we are slightly disappointed with main course. However, Do check out.
Great show and performance! Don't miss it.
We will come back for sure!
Artists are the best I think in the whole world. Electrifying. Energetic. So powerful!
Don't miss this shining diamond of Spanish culture.
One of my favorite experiences in Madrid! I tried to be in the moment so took no photos and only this one video. The first singer had me tearing up with the beauty of her voice. The dancers were so amazing. I was obsessed with the energy and execution of the flamenco, especially Eduardo Guerrero who was riveting. Definitely recommend.
Amazing show ! Singers and dancers did amazing , one of the best flamenco performances in the city. Recommend arriving 10 min before your reservation. I do not know how their seat assignment works, but definitely it is not first come first serve.
The service was okay, the restaurant is so full they are unable to fulfill all of the tables rapidly. Food was good but not great.
Breathtaking, even on a Monday night. The food was very well presented, service excellent, but maybe a 7/10 on taste (Americans, one loves savory strong flavors, the other likes subtle clean flavors). The show was amazing, an emotional experience that drew us in at every turn. (The videos don’t do the performance justice) Book it!
Tips:
- Get your reservations a couple months out (we think this is why we had such a good table)
- Show up max 10 min early, we were 30 min early, and they told us to come back max 10 min before the show, and when we did show back up there was a line, but seats aren’t first come first serve, we believe it’s based on when you made the reservation.
I'm so glad our guide convinced us and was able to get us a reservation at a very short notice.
The show is breathing, very passionate and authentic. Nothing that I have seen before in any flamenco shows touring in New York city, and I have seen quite a few. We enjoyed every moment.
The food was great as well. I think it was the best lamb I have ever eaten, hands down. Highly recommend to order it here. The whole experience was well worth the money. Would come again if visiting Madrid in the future.
How this restaurant obtained 1 Michelin star is a surprise to me. Simple cooking without any wow factor in the products. No vegetables? Service is much lower than what you should be able to expect from a 1 star. It’s like they are rushing to finish serving out the dishes. No personal attention like topping up water, removing crumbs. Bread served without anything. Water served in a wine glass? Small tables with uncomfortable chairs are crammed together maybe 15 cms space in between. Bad setup to get a good view of the stage.
Reservation for 17:30, opens at 17:30 sharp.
Flamenco show was ok, not the best I have experienced in Spain. The package is not worth the money.
This restaurant is a must-visit for its exceptional flamenco show and exquisite cuisine. I can attest to the high-quality performances and diverse, delicious menu options. Though it's not the cheapest experience, it's definitely worth the investment. Booking in advance is advised, especially if you want good seats near the stage. Highly recommended for a memorable evening.
The Flamenco show is really good! Dancers and singers, you need to book in advance to see this is an in demand flamenco bar in Madrid. It is not quite spacious so be ready to squeeze in with other show goers. The food selection is quite impressive although there are some point in between the show, you have to eat in the dark or with just a candle. Overall, this flamenco bar is a must visit.
All I can say is WOW. Ok, maybe that's not all I can say. Amazing. We ordered tickets for the show and dinner and you basically got to choose from menu items and every dish was so impressive. It's Michelin rated and I can completely understand why they received this rating. The show was also entertaining. Just an overall great experience.
We selected the 3 course dinner, a lovely 2005 Alta Rioja Gran Reserva, and a PX with dessert. Flamenco was an older female singer/dancer, a younger female dancer, a male dancer, and a young female singer. All very talented. Food surprisingly good given that flamenco is the attraction. Admitted at 9:10p, departed about 11:30p. Two shows seven days a week
We visited on Tuesday 8th of Nov. We purchased the show ticket in advance and reserve a seat for their tasting menu at 6 pm. Think the show starts at 7:30 and is one of the best occasions we have choose. The dish was again and we enjoyed every bits
Food was a 6.5/10. I was definitely expecting more especially with all of the good reviews . Show was a 7.5/10. Dancers and singers were very good. I can tell they enjoyed what they do. Wish it was a little longer .
The restaurant is so jam packed. Can be uncomfortable. Visiting a Michelin star restaurant was on my bucket list , but I think I’m going to try another one at some point because I was left a little disappointed.
Fantastic very professional dancers singers and guitarist. Highest level performers of the art on the level with a professional ballet company. Productions rotate so this was our experience.
Restaurant was exceptional. But the meal revolves around the performance so not a place to sit and talk or enjoy a long meal. The most expensive meal you will eat in Spain but worth the money.
We arrived for the 6pm seating, dinner was a tad rushed but food was lovely nonetheless. The waiters were prompt and efficient, so we could start the show on time with no issue.
The flamenco show was really lovely, stunning dance and singing performance, full of intensity and emotions. Bravo to the artists!
We read the reviews before booking but you have to experience this in person to truly understand and appreciate the art of flamenco ❤️
The seating assignment is not ideal. If you sit at the side of the stage, it’s about at least 10 tables from the stage to the last table. It’s not possible to actually watch the show. I booked in July, approximately three months in advance but I told that I was seated to the end because I booked late. Not sure how far advance you have to make the reservation. But I think larger group certainly is assigned better seat than a single person. As you can see from the photo, it is hard to even find the stage.
Absolutely unforgettable unique experience. Fantastic show accompanied with excellent food. We took a tasting menu and loved every meal..specifically the lamb chops!! It was literally melting in mouth.
In addition, the service was extremely attentive and high class.
This is something you will never forget.
Amazing experience! The food was exceptional and the staff was really helpful and attentive.
The flamenco show was also top-notch.
The only negative thing is that it gets really packed, and depending on where are you seated there is a pillar that can block your view to the stage.
Only Negative: a pillar blocked ~20-25% of my view
Positives: I could not believe the talent. If you're like me, you looked at a bunch of tablaos and had a hard time choosing while looking for an authentic experience. This was incredible. The men and women singing and dancing was unbelievable. Every one a talent.
I loved that they had a guitar solo which was beautiful.
The food was incredible, i felt my attention being pulled constantly between the deliciousness of the food placed before me and the dancing around me. Will definitely visit again, and hopefully get a better location.
This flamenco show is a strong recommendation. We booked the show with an additional dinner which starts at 18:30 (or earlier if preferred). You have 5 different menus you can choose from which range from 50-80€ each. I recommend the 3 course Solea Menu which is pescatarian friendly. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly and elegant. The show was the highlight, all of the dance & music artists and were super passionate and and entertaining. The show was from 19:30-20:30. A good experience I would recommend to everyone who wants to enjoy an artistic and traditional part of Madrid with a fine dinner.
Their intense passion was palpable. The gorgeous show and the food were delicious. My parents had enjoyed it years before, and I now know why. El Corral de la Morería is a must-experience while in Madrid.
This venue is an absolute must when visiting Madrid. I recommend the combined show and dining experience, which takes around 2.5 hours in total. The preset menu in this Michelin 1-star restaurant is truly something special: The ingredients, flavors, presentation are all first rate, the service staff are extremely courteous and attentive and always one step ahead of you. The extensive wine list, while mostly Spanish, will satisfy anyone. Then the flamenco show. Wow! I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't be blown away by this performance even if they know nothing about flamenco or performing arts, or have no appreciation for dance. This show, with the guitar player, two male singers and a female and male dancer, is such an intense and unique experience, especially in this small and intimate venue. Book in advance.
Packed house. We enjoyed a drink and a show, but it seemed that most people enjoyed dinner. I would recommend that. The flamenco show was much MORE impressive than I thought. I was blown away and the space is so intimate. You really feel the energy in the room!
Five stars isn’t enough to rate this experience. The ambience is magical. The old rustic field of Madrid as you walk in and the the firefly service crew made the evening magical.
The food experience was amazing. The presentation was impeccable and the taste was exquisite.
The performance was stunning! Pure magic and an uplifting experience. Left me in intoxicated with the passion of the dance.
A must see and experience when in Madrid.
Huge appreciation and thanks to Alejandro who was our waiter. Excellent wine recommendation from him.
Dinner and a Flamenco show? How good can dinner be? Well, it was so good that when we finished each dish, my wife and I said “ Man, that was really good, perfectly cooked”. At the end of the night as we were walking out, we notice that this place was awarded 1 Michelin Star and it all made sense afterwards.
The food is not fancy but the taste and the execution of each dish was spot on. Food 10 out of 10.
The show started right around when we finished dessert. It was entertaining and a nice introduction to the Spanish culture. Show 8 out of 10.
Definitely a very cool experience with great food. Overall 9 out of 10.
Our group visited from the States and we absolutely loved the show! All the performers at Corral de la Moreria in Madrid are a must-see. Their expertise and passion echo in each strum, song, and step, telling a captivating story along the way, rich with cross-cultural influence.
Staff are professional, friendly, and efficient in serving without interrupting your view of the show.
Enjoy the food as delightfully unique interpretations of traditional Spanish cuisine and regional specialties. (As the menu is run by a Michelin-star earning chef, you can't go wrong).
Book show only and skip dinner!
Show 5 stars!
Dinner service 1 star!
Food quality 4 stars!
Seating 1 star!
We arrived early, doors opened late. Gave us terrible seats one with back to stage crammed 6 inches from next table. Took 45 mins to get servers attention to order wine and food.
Service complete chaos, needs top to bottom makeover. Ruined the overall experience. Show was incredible but seating and service are unacceptable and not deserving of any Michelin recommendation
If you ever visit Spain, going to a flamenco show is a must. What drew my family to this restaurant however, was also the promise of a michelin star set menu. Apparently a lot of people just come for the show, not knowing they're also eating some of the best food mardrid has to offer! We got the 5 course tasting menu, and it didn't disappoint. The avocado gazpacho they started off with was equally ambitious and tasty, as gazpacho is usually a tomato base. My favorite was the sea bass, since it was soft and buttery, and pretty much melted in your mouth. The waiter also was super nice and kept the wine flowing the whole meal! He even opened a second bottle for us on the house.
As for the flamenco show itself, it was mesmerizing. The dancers and singers were passionate and filled the venue with a great energy. I will say, this show is about half singing and half dancing, for those that are looking for a dancing only flamenco show.
Just a heads up, every day they hold 2 flamenco shows: one at 7:30PM, and another around 10PM. We made a reservation for 6:30PM, which gave us just enough time to finish up our main courses, and enjoy our dessert while the flamenco show started. So if you're someone who can't really multitask like me, you might want to keep your reservation timing in mind!
Exceed our expectation in terms of value and quality. Many might say one should not mix Flamenco and dinner together but I think this is an exception. The food and wine were high quality. We had the most delicious meat, seafood and dessert. The flamenco show was wonderful. Would recommend to anyone who visit Madrid for a fantastic evening experience.
Amazing experience. The show was outstanding, one of the best I've ever seen. The food was very special but not all the dishes lived up to expectations.
We ordered the vegan menu (which I was surprised to have in a restaurant of this type). The first course was excellent, but the other three courses not so much. They were special, the flavors were unique, but just not that tasty. We also ordered wine, the service was excellent as expected in this type of restaurant, and we ended with 125 euros per person.
Some tips: arrive early, I recommend at 18:00. The first show in the evening (there are two) starts at 19:30, which means you will have an hour and a half to enjoy the food, the atmosphere and the drinks. In addition, when it starts to fill up, the service becomes slower, the dishes arrive after more time and the wine glasses are not filled as quickly. Therefore, ask to leave the bottle on the table, especially before the show starts. Another tip is to pay attention to where you sit. We were initially seated in front of a column that is near the stage, and we asked to change a table. If they hadn't changed our seats, it wouldn't have been a five-star review, because the column would have hidden a significant part of the show. This is also a reason to arrive early.
I came for a recommendation from my friend and was not wrong. Being in December, I could get a spot with no reservation, which was pure luck. The place was packed for the show. It was my first time watching flamenco live, and I was not sorry I picked this place. It was, simply put - a great experience. Thank you!
The show was not too long and had many flavours for the first good real experience.
The food menu, including a refreshing watermelon tomato soup and pork shoulder, was cooked to good standards, and the service was nothing to complain about. Servants were fast and proactive, trying to make sure everyone had a good experience
It is not cheap to visit and includes both dinner and the show. Other than that - I hope you will have a great experience too. Enjoy!
The food was delicious and presented excellently. The music was traditional flamenco, along with the dances. The performances were professionally done by very talented people.
The food was amazing in the inventiveness and execution. The ingredients combined in a way that was unexpected and yet revealed flavor profiles that complimented each other well. As for the performances, the dances and songs told classic stories of love, longing, regret, and hope.
If you enjoy experiencing culture this is a must visit. I recommend it very much, especially the dinner and show option.
Best flamenco show. The food is amazing. Tomato soup is cool and refreshing. Sea bass is moist, tender, great flavor. The lamb is cooked to perfection (medium rare). Fork tender. Simple seasonings, but flawless execution. The French toast is amazing. Great crispy sugar crust, soft soaked middle full of custard. The apple souffle is light and subtlety sweet. A great alternative if you want something lighter.
My fiancé and I, along with close friends in Madrid, got a chance to see a show and get dinner at this Michelin star restaurant. The food was just the beginning. We had a great time learning about the traditional culture in Spain in terms of flamenco dancing. It was amazing. The food was absolutely divine. Best dish I had in Spain. Highly recommend.
The dinner was perfect as expected from a Michelin star restaurant and the show was fantastic as well, but the undisclosed obstructed view was a disappointment.
The food and service was impeccable, everything from the flavor to the timing of the plates. Between the two of us, we ordered everything from the 5-course menu. My two favorites would be the sea bass and the squab.
The performance was fantastic. However, the pillar which was blocking the middle of the stage left much to be desired. The performers were behind this pillar around 25% of the show, you can see it in the photos of this review. It was not disclosed when we booked it a month ago and even though we were the first ones seated in the restaurant at opening time, we were given an obstructed view. This ruins an otherwise perfect experience.
We would have expected this to be indicated during booking or be provided price tiered seating so we can choose to pay more for unobstructed seats.
For those ordering dinner, I would recommend finishing the dinner before the show. This will allow you to enjoy both the dinner and the show to its fullest. Once the show starts, the lights will dim and you won’t be able to see your plate as well.
The 5-course dinner took around 1.5 hours to be served and eaten, so I would recommend going between 5:30-6:00 if you want to time it just right. You can also aim for a little later if you decide to go with the 3 or 4 course dinner. The show started promptly at 7:30 and lasted 1 hour.
