Terrific experience, from beginning to end, and although there are areas of opportunity, overall worthwhile.

Regarding location, you couldn’t ask for a better one, right next to Puerta de Alcalá, and although not visible from the venue –as otherwise advertised, the truth is that the area inspires confidence and cheerfulness; the merry, crowded parlors allow and invite for walking and exploring should you arrive early –unlike other shows located in the middle of near empty, dark streets. The venue itself is comfortable, cozy and wheelchair accessible.

Regarding the tapas and the main course, they were really good but with still some room to go before reaching the excellent tier. Flamenco de Leones was one of the first dining experiences we had upon arriving to Madrid and we were pleasantly surprised, however, as we moved forward on our travel plans, we got to try truly spectacular food along our way, and I mean off-the-chart great food. Probably not a bad idea to make this flamenco show one of your first stops if touring Madrid. On the other hand, though, desserts were a bit of a disappointment, with 5 small desserts served and only 1 or maybe 2 being up to the experience.

Finally, the show. Being our first flamenco show ever, we were expectant and curious, and although the show kind of resembled what we had in mind (from movies, videos, and the popular cliché), it certainly did not disappoint. Since the presentation, the teasing, and up to the main act, the show was so heartfelt, so passionate, so intriguing… I’d need so much more words to barely describe the feelings Flamenco stirred up in just a matter of 30, maybe 45 minutes.

Now, regarding areas of opportunity, there are 2 I’d like to highlight. The first one is accessibility. Although the venue is wheelchair friendly and has an elevator to reach it, the accessible entrance is located on the side street (C. de Serrano). It was somehow challenging to find someone who could give directions on how to access Flamenco de Leones, so I think more detailed information about accessibility is needed on the website. And second, I do believe some sort of explanation about flamenco is needed to fully embrace and enjoy the experience. Your feelings get stirred up without a doubt, but there’s a message embedded in the performance that somehow becomes lost if not consciously aware of it. Was the performance about joy??? About sadness??? About both??? It would have been...

Great venue and great show, much much better than I was hoping for.

Places like this are often a hit or miss. They can be tourist traps or they can lead to superb nights. Incredibly happy this was the second case 🙂

I opted for the full dinner and I was joined last minute by 2 friends.

The location is beautiful and super central. The beauty starts from the staircase that leads to the upped floor, where the show takes place.

One is welcome in a beautiful place, a bit dark to create atmosphere, all in the tones of black & red.

We were lead into a first room where we were delighted with a steam of very good appetizers. An highlight for me was certainly the ice cream made of cheese twirls.

About 90 mins later we were led in another room for the main. I hade. The most delicious and tender ox tail.

After that, 4 mignon desserts. They were all very good. The soft flower of chocolate twirls was beautiful to see.

Then the show. 1 hour of high quality flamenco that we could enjoy sipping a generous glass of Porto, on the house.

What a...
