Tablao de Carmen Barcelona, Flamenco Show in Barcelona

Amazing experience. First thing, do buy your tickets directly from their website, not resellers and third-party booking websites who end up charging you more. Second thing, budget like an extra 2 hours either before or after the show (depending on the time you book) to go around and absorb the atmosphere of Poble Espanol which itself even has awesome views of the city from the hill-top monetary. So I've not attended any other love Flamenco before, but always been interested in the music, and to me this was the perfect experience for a family, especially where most of them had no experience of what flamenco was. Perfect environment, perfect length of performance (too long and kids will get angsty), perfect variety of individual performances. I also can't say anything bad about the venue...great service, great food (admittedly, for non-Spanish people), venue was crazy clean/well-maintained, had great view from the balcony, and got served more sangria than me and my wife could finish. And on top of all that, the ticket includes being able to go round Poble Espanol, so the value is really there in the ticket price, which may initially cause one to balk a bit.

A truly amazing experience with yummy food. Intimate setting and the tapas go a long way without feeling like you have to order dinner. The staff made my family feel so welcome! I know tourism is a hot topic and sometimes looked down on, but I’m so thankful for places like this restaurant who are willing to share your wonderfully unique flamenco dancing with us visitors.

Beautiful setting, talented performers, good food. Service was quick and efficient. We enjoyed the sangria and overall had a great time. No castanets in the performance, not sure why. But dancers and musicians were a lot of fun to watch!

We really enjoyed the hospitality and the space! A pretty unique location within the Spanish village—we had thought it might be a little garish but we’re totally blown away by the atmosphere and also care of the dancers and musicians. The dancers were so professional and quick! They genuinely looked like they were enjoying themselves and passionate about the culture and art of flamenco. Absolutely splendid!

Amazing experience. Whether you get the opportunity to come here more often, or if this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it's so worth it! We got the VIP package (unknowingly) and we're both delighted and enthralled to get to learn about the history of the establishment, as well as the past, present, and future of flamenco. The performers all had their own styles and you could feel their passion and story in every move! The food was incredible, and the service was impeccable. If we're ever back in Barcelona, I'm definitely going again!

We chose the dinner set, and the drinks and food were delicious. The seating arrangement provided a clear view of the flamenco performance. What stood out the most was the attentive service from the staff. Additionally, the ticket price includes access to explore Poble Espanyol, which is a great bonus.

Absolutely stunning experience, a definite must in Barcelona. We had an amazing dinner and show, 4 different dancers and two segments while enjoying fillet mignon with a group of enthusiastic tourists.

For having a delicious meal and experiencing the culture of Spain, a visit to Tablao de Carmen is a must. The music is wonderful and the performances were full of passion. It is an experience you do not want to miss and a lovely tribute to one of the most famous Flamenco dancers of all time. Bravo!

The Tablao de Carmen dinner and Flamenco show were amazing! The food and entertainment were both well worth the money. It was a true authentic flamenco show with numerous dancers and music. It was an added bonus to be able to walk through Poble Espanyol. The only issue we had was that people attending the show were a bit rude pushing to get into the small entry and to the tables. I would recommend letting people know that they have assigned reservations (tables) so maybe they don't feel the need to push their way in.

The location of the restaurant was very unique, set inside what is supposed to be an older section of a town? Very pretty to walk around the area- there were shops around but were close when we arrived. The show was wonderful. You could tell the performers were enjoying themselves, cheering each other on and excited to showcase their talents. Really enjoyed the performance. We got the tapas menu- it was just ok but as expected when you are cooking for a large group at the same exact arrival times. Nothing was bad, nothing was amazing. You go to this show for the performance which did not disappoint. Thank you!

Absolutely stunning show, performances, food, and service. We booked about 3 weeks in advance for the 6PM, Flamenco & Tapas show. My husband & I enjoyed every minute of it - I would love to visit again the next time I’m in Barcelona!

Amazing experience, highly recommend! Live singing, music, and dancing with great food in a nice atmosphere. The show takes place in a little village that usually requires a paid ticket to enter, but you get in free with the show ticket. My friend and I got the tapas and were worried it wouldn’t be enough food for dinner, but it was more than enough, and delicious! The dancers are so talented, and the show itself is very entertaining. Even if you are not familiar with dance performance, this show will hold your attention until the last moment. It was a great experience to end our trip in Barcelona

We had a fabulous evening: the show, the food worth the price, and the service! The energy and passion from the guitarists, singers and dancers are amazing ! We booked the dinner and were very satisfied. They propose options for everyone (gluten free, lactose free, vegan, kids...), drinks included, coffee or tea at the end. We were seating upstairs at the balcony and had a great view on the stage. The price includes the entrance to Pueblo Espanyol. We arrived at 16:00 and had plenty of time to explore the village before going to the Tablao at 18:00. Highly recommend!

Tablao de Carmen is a most fabulous venue to enjoy when in Barcelona. You feel like you are in Carmen's home with all the ambiance of a of a warm Spanish home. The Tapas were plentiful and beautifully presented. The service beyond reproach. Most of all, the Flamenco Dancers and singers were outstanding and very rememberable. We really enjoyed our visit with the owner after the show. She graciously detailed her history and the background of Tablao de Carmen. Absolutely loved everything that Tablao de Carmen offered. Thank you to all for a most enjoyable evening. Roland & Olga

We loved it! I've been to 3 flamenco shows in Barcelona and this was my favourite one. The young male dancer was particularly great. The food was nice, we had the tapas and everything was typical Spanish. The sangria was good too. I was also happy that we had entrance to the Spanish village with the ticket. Overall excellent price and value for money. I highly recommend.

Located at Poble Espanyol. This is an open air museum. If you have a ticket/ reservation for the Tablao de Carmen then your entrance is free, otherwise it is €15. When booking ticket there are several options for the meal, we choose tapas option what was more than enough. Sangria and coffee are included. Show is nice, not too long. You need to be there on time.

Amazing experience, really authentic Flamenco dancers. You can really feel their emotions! We have booked show + tapas, worth every penny

We booked tickets for Flamenco and Drinks (50 euros per person) months in advance of our visit to Barcelona because we’d heard great things about Tablao de Carmen. We were sat on the first floor with half our table unable to see the show at all without standing and blocking the waiters and the other half craning their necks. For a premium show you’d expect every seat in the house to be able to at least partially see the show. Multiple tables had the same issue and some even asked to be moved. Given my experience I wouldn’t recommend the show unless you pay more for the tables that include dinner which all have an unobstructed view. I’ve attached pictures of the view so others are warned before buying the same package.

If you are visiting Barcelona anytime soon, you need to go see this show. Tablao de Carmen is located in Poble Espanyol, which you get to visit for free (like a cute small village) if you book a dinner/show at Tablao de Carmen. I am so glad we went. The performance was incredible. I teared up, got goosebumps it was so good. The food was good too. The only thing we didn't like was the cumin (?) chicken. Felt out of place. But other than that we loved everything. ❤️

Made a reservation for six. Our table was upstairs, which was great for me, but if you have shorter kids, it was a little bit harder for them to see, but they sat at the edge and it was fine. We chose to do the dinner which was €85 per person. Plenty of food and variety. Everyone really enjoyed everything that was served. Plenty of sangria was served! Dancing, singing, the music…everything was five stars was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. An added bonus is when you make a reservation it includes that ability to go to the Spanish Square so it’s included in your ticket. Super cute & lots of photo opportunities and quaint stores to shop.

Wow. That’s the best word I can use the explain this experience. The location is amazing. Felt like I was in an amusement park (think Fantasy Land in Disneyland) except it was a real castle. Then you walk to the restaurant and it feels like you’ve been transported back into the 1920s. The food was absolutely incredible. We are vegetarian and we finished the entire plate. Lots of great non-vegetarian options as well. Everyone looked very happy. My fiancée was a former flamenco dancer and she said the dancers were absolute pros and it brought a tear to her eyes watching them dance. The singers and the guitarist were fantastic as well. I would highly recommend this and I would go again!

Fantastic solo performances 👏 The acoustics, singing, clapping & dance were spectacular. A must see if you are in Barcelona. Bonus: the venue is in a beautiful Spanish village that is a tourist attraction in itself. ❤️ 😍

We were really looking forward to seeing Flameco dancing in Barcelona as we have seen a performance in each city we are living in while spending Fall here in Spain. It was cool that it was in Poble Espanyol so you can visit that after 4pm the day of your show. We went to the later show and we had a reservation for the mid-priced Tapas and Show about 7 days ahead of the evening we reserved. The food was good and filling and the dancers were great (what we could see-more on that to come). Our only complaint, which I told the managers before we left early, was that even though I had reserved the Tapas tickets for 68 Euro we were put in the worst seats I could see in the entire venue. I am also sure we did not get the last tickets available since all of the ticket types were available when we booked. See picture. So, very plainly, we could not see the performers (dancers and singers, guitarists). The tables are reserved by the management before the show and you can not select your seats but why not make that table for the cheapest tickets? So we could not see the dancers feet or the singers sing or the guitarist guitar but two seats were 150 Euro. I feel bad about this as they were very curious why we were leaving early and seemed genuinely interested in our enjoying the show but maybe they should not seat that table. Also, do not show up until after 8:30 as there is a line but it doesn't matter since your seats are already pre selected.

I had a wonderful dinner, and entertaining evening. The flamenco dancing was fun, and the servers were very attentive throughout the show. And the food was interesting. Even met the owner and got a tour of the building after dinner. It was a very enjoyable night.

Nice restaurant in an old fashioned village. Village is super cute and worth visiting. We had a great time. Loved the energy of the performers. Staff was nice and attentive.

Incredible. We came here tonight for the early performance and we were blown away. The staff are amazing and so friendly. We chose the tapas and show option and we were very impressed. A full jug of the nicest sangria I've ever had and so much tapas, and dessert! The performance was absolutely amazing and I found myself getting very emotional! The performers have great chemistry and a great connection that really comes across on stage. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Went on Monday. The show and the dinner were wonderful. Highly recommended. The show was definitely the highlight of out trip to Barcelona. One cannot simply go to Spain without visiting a Tablao.

Amazing performance! There are different ticket prices depending on if you’re going to add dinner, tapas, or just having a drink which is a nice option if you’re on a budget. The show felt a little short and perhaps this is solely because it’s so great you just want to see more. Captivating all in all, highly recommend and I look forward to coming back.

Only giving 5 stars because I can't give 10!!! Cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. The show was unbelievable, the food was delicious (and they give you so much!) And the service was impeccable! Recommend to everyone looking for a Flamenco show in Barcelona!

Amazing experience!!! Great food and awesome Flamenco dance and music! The performance gave me shivers. A must have experience in Barcelona. For me it was a dream came true 🥰🥰🥰! For sure next time in Barcelone will do it again! Thank you Tablao de Carmen!

The stellar experience was worth every penny! We have a beautiful tour of the building and learned the history of Carmen and the Tablao. We had a fabulous table right by the stage and the food was amazing! It was a tasting menu and was more than plenty for two! Highly recommend!

A night to remember in Barcelona! The reviews seemed too good to be true when booking this, but their reputation precedes them. The service, ambiance, drinks, food, and performances were unforgettable! You can’t find an experience like this in the States. I highly recommend the tapas dinner and sangria (they give you a whole pitcher)! If you can, get to dinner early to walk and shop around poble… super cute picturesque area!

Wonderful flamenco experience with delicious tapas dinner that easily catered to dietary restrictions (gluten free and lactose free) with gluten free bread, the best gluten free croquettes, and lactose free cheese. We also got refills of the sangria included in our price which was nice. The singers and dancers were so beautiful and it really felt like they loved every minute of it. It is in this cute little village and if you go before 19h the shops are still open and there are so many cute spots. I highly recommend the dinner and show.

One of the most incredible dinner experiences I have ever had! Not only you will get to enjoy an amazing Flamenco show, you will also have a great meal with a variety of typical southern Spanish food. I highly recommend buying the VIP experience, which is very affordable and will get you the best seats in the house. We had the honor of meeting the owner Mimo, who told us about her background and the history of the Tablao de Carmen before staring the show.

Best dinner and flamenco experience in Barcelona. Maybe ever. We chose the variant with tapas, which includes 5 course menu and wine/sangria/coffee. For two it was much than enough. The performance of artist was incredible. There were Spanish folks in audience, so I guess this is definitely not a tourist trap but really good quality event.

I had the privilege to meet the owner of the place who made it a must to narrate the story behind this place and share her passion for the Flamenco. Personally, this place is just mesmerising and you don't see the time passing by. You get to enjoy delicious tapas and set meals while enjoying a live Flamenco show. I would strongly advise for pre-booking before your vist as this place is very often full house!

I had high expectations, food was OK. We chose flamenco show and tapas for 2. Portions were okay. The flamenco show wasn't very good. One girl was a bit better but the rest just so so. I have been to many shows all over Spain and I myself dance flamenco. The dancers were not very good. The men dancing were stomping a bit out of rhythm and tired, no engagement, feeling for the music. Didn't make justice to the art that real flamenco is. The 3 stars are for the food which was OK and the girl who danced better and made the show more lively. Waiters don't really explain what drink do you get with your menu and they charge you for it anyway.

I had a great experience here. I came here for a company gala party and I fell in love with the place. Its located inside the Poble Espanol. It was my first time there too and I love it. Its not difficult to find and even its not super near the city center but it is still located in a good place, easy to get there by a taxi. But if you want to use public transportation, there is a way too. You can take a L1 to Placa Espana and walk there. It is a little bit far around 900m more or less as i remember. It also has the bus there, i didnt try using bus to get there but i saw a bus station super near. For the food, I must say it is quite good. There r plenty of food choices for everybody. Even for the vegetarian. I remember one of my friends at the party is Islam and they cannot take the pork n alcohol. The waiters were super nice and they tried to ask for the most suitable dishes for them. The restaurant has so many types of tapas. If you come with a large group of people u should try all of them 😝 And I remember there was a shrimp dish and it tastes super good. Also the wine is fine as well. And last but not least, the musiccc and the Flamencooo. It was a super exciting experience to enjoy Flamenco while having dinner here.

There are so many flamenco shows to choose from, but this one exceeded expectations! It is such a lovely intimate space. The performance is phenomenal and feels so authentic. The food was tasty as well which was a nice surprise (we chose the tapas option). Seating is pre-assigned based on what kind of dinner you purchased so no need to get there early to line up. For our show, anyone who ordered tapas was seated upstairs. I personally prefer the view from upstairs so we chose that intentionally. The highest tier dinner option sits right next to the stage. Either way, the space is so intimate that you really get a great view from anywhere you sit. BONUS: You also get entry into Poble Espanyol with your ticket so you can explore the area and shop before the show!

It was a beautiful experience. Loved the intimate setting. As a solo traveler , I felt very comfortable. The waiter that served us dinner was fantastic. The show was beyond amazing. Very talented singers, acoustic guitar player and dancers! You felt transported to a different time when the show began. Highly recommended!

Great Tapas and entertainment in a cozy venue. We were able to sit at a table on a balcony overlooking the stage. Tapas dinner included drinks and plenty of food. You can upgrade to a bigger dinner but I saw people with the upgrade struggling to complete their meals. The place is located in a cultural park and reservation includes entrance a couple hours earlier. I recommend getting there early as there are lots of artisan shops with cool wares and also the artists are there making their wares. Don't use Google maps to try to find the place. Get to the gate and get a map from there. It is a couple minute walk from the gate and a bit up hill. We walked in from pl espanya {closest metro) but that is not an insignificant endeavor.

Amazing experience!! The show was incredible and because the restaurant is not huge you really get to share that experience in a very intimate and close environment! We had the tapas menu which was A lot of food and good food! Highly recommend!

According to the locals, this is the best Flamenco show in Barcelona, and we really enjoyed it! The show was wonderful and Tapas very tasty. The location inside Pablo Espanyol is great; your ticket gets you into the village for free starting at 4pm, so we were able to shop a bit prior! Easy to reach by the metro (though you walk up a slight incline for a bit) or by the Hop on, Hop off. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing! We made a reservation the same day for the 2115 show and it was spectacular. The two of us got tickets for Tapas and a show and it was the perfect amount of food and variety! The village the restaurant is in is so beautiful so arrive early so you can explore. The food was delicious and the show was absolutely perfect! The dancers did an amazing job and were so captivating. You can tell they are so passionate about dance. The music was beautiful. I am so happy we decided to come here on our vacation to Barcelona

This little flamenco show is awesome! It's worth making the effort to get to the Poble Espanyol (an open air Spanish village which is really cute and filled with fun artisan shops).The venue is so sweet and intimate and you have a fabulous view from wherever you sit. The dancers and musicians are totally professional and emotional and the food is fantastic. We ordered the tapas and there was plenty for all of us, plus the Sangria was out of this world and refills were included! There is absolutely nothing negative that I can say about this dinner show.

My wife and I were looking for an authentic experience in Barcelona, and this was one of our favorite things we did. We got the ticket that includes tapas, wine/sangria, and a dessert. There was a lot to eat, so don't come here without an appetite. All the tapas came out in a steady flow before the main show, and enough there to keep picking throughout the show. When we finished our pitcher of Sangria, they offered us another - delicious. As for the show, we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was great to see the variance in dance styles, guitar playing, and rhythmic clapping and singing. Another thing about these tickets is that you get free access to Poble Espanyol, so come early and enjoy this open-air museum showcasing architecture throughout Spain. Thanks for the great night out.

Our first time in BCN and I had read reviews regarding the show at Tablao de Carmen. We got the Drink Menu and upon entering the restaurant for the first show at 18:00, we were seated & greeted with a pitcher of delicious sangria! We orders some tapas: hummus and olives. Both fabulous and the olives were the largest I have ever seen or eaten. The show was incredible! The vocals, guitars and the passion in which the dancers embodied was powerful. The staff was delightful and the atmosphere cozy as there was only a total of 10 people in attendance. As the website states, go early and wander around Poble Espanyol; the shops are unique and we were able to pick-up some gifts before the show. Again: highly recommended experience!

What a fantastic performance, for my first time at a flamenco show, this was definitely awesome! Having drinks and food (tapas) while watching the dancers, it’s just perfect. Also the dancers, singers and staff are fantastic and friendly, all the right element for a perfect evening !! A must try on your visit of Barcelona.

What an amazing, moving, and beautiful experience! We had a little difficulty finding the entrance to the square thanks to Google maps. So we were a little late, but didn’t miss anything. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The hostess, Mimo, was extremely warm and inviting. She took a few minutes to chat with us afterwards to tell us a little of the artists. The food was tasty and prepared very well. We had the 3 course meal. It’s a lot of food, but it was so good we finished it. The sangria was delicious! The atmosphere is warm and intimate. In all, we would go again. We highly recommend it if you are in Barcelona. Thank you for a memorable experience.

Wow! This was my first Flamenco show ever, and it was incredibly emotive, I found myself holding back tears from the dancers' and singers' passionate performances. The show alone was spectacular, but the food included was delicious! We were giving small tapas dishes and a main course and drinks a part of a package, I would recommend there be more time for eating food as no one on our table was able to finish our main course because we were too busy watching the show. The servers were also kind enough to accommodate our requests through the evening. Fantastic experience overall, would highly recommend and would love to go again.

An amazing experience. Friendly, attentive staff and delicious food and drinks. The performance was spectacular! So much passion and energy! Well worth the visit. It's on our list to visit again when we return!
