Tablao Flamenco Cordobés Barcelona, Flamenco Show

I thought of putting one star first, but will put two stars just because we were lucky to have good seats… I cannot believe this has so many great reviews, which feels like a tourist trap to me. I fell for it, and I should have read the bad reviews first. I have never seen any flamenco in my life, therefore cannot say whether or not the performance was good or not. But the whole experience was disappointing. 1. You come, you fall in line, the person at the entrance starts shouting names of people to enter the venue. We barely heard anything, because the line was too long and we were all in the end. However they called us one of the first ones. Where is the logic ? Feels super unfair towards other people. 2.Tickets are waaaay too expensive, considering you don’t even get to chose your own seats. Chances are you pay 47€ for a single ticket and will be seated all at the back with a very poor view. We were lucky and were seated good. Some people were not. 3. The venue is way too small, yet they try to pack it with as many people as possible. The chairs are way too close to each other, you sit so close to other people that you touch shoulders. There is no space for legs, and the chairs are super uncomfortable. The chairs are simple made of wood, and way too high. So if you are short (which is me) your legs won’t be touching the ground and will be hanging for one hour. I was counting minutes for the show to end. 4. The whole seating plan and the show location seems like a safety hazard. I cannot imagine what happens if everybody has to leave. Or if you get unwell and have to leave. Everybody has to stand up and leave first to let you out, because there is no leg space and you cannot just stand up and leave! 5. We had a show+drink which was 47€. The drink was… wait for it… SANGRIA! What about people who don’t drink alcohol (like me!) ?? They just came, handed the glass and left, no options. Moreover, because there are so many chairs and no space to walk - the waiter was just passing the glasses over people’s heads!! In the end we left without a drink. 47€ per person is not worth it people, it’s a tourist trap and a rip off

Last minute plans whilst in Barcelona found us going to an evening show at Tablao Flamenco Cordobes after a recommendation from a local. This recommendation proved to be great and despite being in the heart of the tourist hotspot of Las Ramblas, the venue and the show was excellent. The venue offers the opportunity to dine and the show or to just do the show on its own. We just did the 10.30pm show. You enter the Tablao Flamenco Cordobes through a single door at street level then head up a flight of stairs where you immediately enter the restaurant and a small reception. The Flamenco hall is through a pair of doors at the end of the restaurant. The hall is relatively small and from memory holds circa 150 people max. Inside it feels very authentic with a basic chair arrangement set out around the small stage. When this place is full it is rather close up and personal with not much room so be aware if space is important to you. As part of your ticket, a drink is included and is typically a glass of sangria or something similar. The show itself involved 3 dancers and circa 5 musicians and we found the arrangement and performance of the whole event very good. The dancers and musicians were all very talented and worked incredibly hard. Like the venue, the performance felt authentic and successfully achieved in recreating the setting and tradition of flamenco. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed the Cordobes and would not hesitate to recommend this show should you find yourself in Barcelona and fancy a spot of flamenco. It’s also probably a good idea to book tickets in advance as this place is popular.

Amazing show, a must see experience! The buffet is also fantastic, has a broad range of traditional Spanish food and tapas. Would recommend the flamenco show + dinner, a great taste of Spain.

Oh my goodness! This place was fabulous! The food was delicious and the flamenco dancing was mind blowing! Absolutely amazing time tonight. A MUST SEE!!!

Wow. What a fantastic experience. The Tablao Flamenco Cordobes has a rich history for the this style of dancing and music and it certainly shows! We sat down for an all-you-can-eat meal beforehand which gave us the opportunity to delve into Spanish/Catalan cuisine. The food was great. After that we went into the flamenco room and we were blown away! The flamenco was very intense but in a really positive way. You could see the artists took it very seriously. I would highly recommend journeying here if you can. The only downside was the lack of disability friendly access. There is a lift but it's a stock lift so there's no room for an unfolded wheelchair. We managed to get in eventually with the help of the lovely staff and we enjoyed the meal and show together.

What a fantastic show. It really captivates you, I didn’t expect to be so entertained as I’m not a big fan of arts/dance. This was loads of fun! Great how they don’t let you use your phones for photos while the show is on, they have a spot at the end where you can do it. Break idea! Everyone was focused!

Absolutely Stunning Experience! Recommended by a friend who has done the whole experience and i will thank him for that. Good tapas, intimite experience. Highly recommended.

This was our first time seeing a Flamenco dance and we were super impressed!! It was stunning and captivating!! I wish we understood the language that was being sung so we could better understand and appreciate the experience more, but even without it, it was impressive!! Definitely a must see if ever get the chance !!!

Awesome flamenco show on La Rambla. I was nervous that I would not get the best show because this is such a touristy area, but I could not be more wrong. The show is fantastic, and the dancers and musicians are passionate and talented. I really enjoyed the show.

My family and I enjoyed the entire show. The dancers are very passionate, and the skill of each dancer was amazing! The live music was the perfect complement to the entire performance. The dinner prior to the show was great as well, variety for adults and children. A must during your visit to Spain!!

Took my wife and son here end of March 2023. The dinner was great. Plenty of variety, good quality food, pleasant staff. The Flamenco performance took my breath away. At first it was completely foreign to me, but the talented musicians and amazing dancers swept me away. I locked eyes with some of the dancers and their emotion was palpable. I don't pretend to understand all the meanings of Flamenco, but I loved it and highly recommend you spend an evening in Barcelona here.

This is the first “tableau” flamenco evening I have ever attended. To say we were enthralled and taken up in the emotion shown by every one of the artists does not do justice to our experience. It was simply amazing. Thank you to the entire group for an astounding and emotional experience.. it truly reached our hearts and thank you!

We recommend the performance, it's quite good and seems authentic. The food itself is not worth the money. We don't know if it was fresh and we speculated that they maybe reuse the food from each buffet. The food was pale and I'd consider attending only the show, eating dinner elsewhere. The buffet might be a tourist trap. In their defense when we said one of us is vegan they tried to fix up a plate and a vegan burger.

We enjoyed our experience very much. The buffet dinner was tasty and we had more than enough food. The show was amazing as well. My only critique would be that staff could walk around the room reminding customers to be quiet as the show was unfortunately a bit disappointing as three people next to us were clapping along which took away from the performance as we could hear their out of time clapping.

Food wasn't anything special, but the Flamenco show was OUTSTANDING. It was the best Flameno show I've ever seen. Super highly recommend it. Unlimited alcoholic drinks included with dinner. The sangria was tasty.

Authentic show - very interesting and enriching experience. Welcome of guests could be improved (felt rushed). I was surprised that they didn’t ask guests what type of drink they would like? We got a red sangria but others seemed to have different drinks (orange juice, white sangria, cava?). Seats were wooden chairs, you sit very close to other people so if you are someone who likes personal space…well this might be too intimate for you. Despite the not so comfy seats, the show was great and we were seated right in the middle-centre row. Great costumes, emotion and energy

Nice enough. Decent food. Nice Sangria. Pretty good flamenco show 💃. They really should price it better for kids under 16. Not value enough and ideally avoidable with kids.

I almost didn't go based off some of the reviews and I am so grateful I went! I did the whole experience of dinner and the show. The dinner was buffet style and there were a lot of options to choose from which I thought were all very tasty. The staff was very attentive ensuring I had a drink and my finished dishes were removed right away. The show though..... No words can express that show. As you're informed prior it's different every time because the dance is a feeling, it's simply watching art unfolding before you as they feed off the energy in the room and between each other. It was masterful and at times I definitely had tears in my eyes. Yes the room is small and there is no sound system but I was fully swept up in the whole experience. Definitely recommend!

I really struggled with how to rate this because there are two wildly different things to rate with this dinner show. First is the dinner, which I found inedible. I tried a number of items on the buffet and I didn't finish a single one of them. They're all cold and weird. I don't even know how to describe it. I wish it was bland. I can handle bland. But this wasn't, it was just... off. I thought maybe it's just a cuisine I'm not used to, but I had other seafood paella in Barcelona that I thought was absolutely fantastic. Here, the paella was cold and bad. Then there is the show. The show itself is breathtakingly gorgeous. The performers are very skilled, and it is a sight to behold. With the dinner, you get first dibs on seats and it is definitely a nice perk because you won't miss anything from the front. I really want to give these performers 5 out of 5 because they worked very hard and deserve it. But there in lies the problem. To get the best seats, you need to pay for the inedible dinner. So they are intrinsically linked and must be rated as a whole. I will look back fondly at the show we saw, and then immediately wince thinking about the dinner that preceded it. So I'd say definitely check out a flamenco show, just not this dinner package.

Very exciting show, we were blown away by the calibur of talent of the performers and their passion for the flamenco. The dinner here was a wonderful sample of a wide variety of flavours from around Spain. Our family including two teens really loved the experience and found it extremely memorable. Thank you for a wonderful memory from our time in Barcelona.

Decent Food and Fantastic Flamenco! Excellent value for money and an experience you will struggle to find elsewhere. We paid 79.50 euros per person for their Gastronomic Tour and Flamenco Show. We had a bottle of wine, various hors d'oeuvre and traditional dishes to try. They were served buffet-style and you could help yourselves, some of the dishes were fantastic and others you could experience a tastier recreation locally, however it was a lovely way to experience a range of traditional recipes laced in culture in a short period of time. In a beautiful and ambient small seat theatre (180 capacity) we then got to experience the best of flamenco. All who participated in the show were faultless and how on earth they move their feet so quickly I will never understand. It was a lovely, welcoming show with a complimentary glass of fizz and the perfect way to spend an evening.

Okay, my world travelers. I am going to keep it 💯 with you as I always do. If i had came to Tablao Flamenco and saw the show alone, there aren’t enough stars here to express the magnificence of this cultural experience. They give their audience 1000 percent and offer the best of what Spain has to give to someone wanting the absolute best experience. However, the dinner and show package was not the best combo. An all-you-can-eat type of serve it your self, plate after plate bits and pieces of okay food. Not that much of a romantic setting here. Lights are super bright, in your face and the people are packed in like sardines. The food and desserts are authentic as is the wine but a quality and experience that was inferior to the expectation of a place like this demands in other similar places around the world. The creme Brûlée was aweful as was the wine. I salute the talent! Amazing!!!! Recommendation: Space out the dinner shows and talent so the talent get sufficient rest and the audience does not get a feeling of circus monkeys performing every hour on the hour. 🙏🏼 #wetraveltogether

Awesome experience. Ordered tickets with food and drinks, the food was tasty and good but maybe not for everyone. The show was amazing with a intimate scene and great performers. Those who buy tickets with food gets the best seats at the stage.

Incredible, incredible experience!! Food is good but the Show is what you go for! You can tell these entertainers have this in their blood. I got chills listening to and watching every single person. Captivating is an understatement. Buy a ticket for dinner + the Show, please be respectful - do not take pictures or film until they allow you to at the end when the lights go up - and enjoy the Show! You will not be disappointed!!!

The buffet is OK, but much better food can be found elsewhere in Barcelona. Everything was decent, but nothing was great. The Flamenco show was enjoyable, and the performers were clearly very talented.
