The show was amazing, the dancers were fantastic! We had a drink and tapas, the wine was lovely and the food was ok.
Very delicious dinner with drinks. Excellent service. The flamenco performance exceeded my expectations. It was a root show that noticed the involvement, emotion and professionalism of the dancers and singers.
I didn’t love the seat arrangements and atmosphere. The performance was good but not great. I’d probably go elsewhere if I went back.
We went to Tablao El Arenal for dinner with a flamenco show and we left simply delighted. Dinner was delicious, very well served, with entry, first dish, second dish and dessert, and good choices on the menu. All very tasty! But the big highlight, no doubt, was the show. I didn’t really know flamenco and was completely fascinated. It’s a pulsing, vibrant, intense and thrilling show! The dancers, singers and musicians are extremely talented and deliver everything on stage. It is impossible not to get involved with the energy of the show. It was one of the most special experiences of our trip to Seville and, for me, a wonderful way to know and feel a bit of Andalusian culture. An experience that really was worth it!
What a great evening! This was our first time experiencing flamenco, and we were completely blown away. The energy and raw passion of the performers filled the entire room and was deeply palatable.Beyond the spectacular performance, we opted for the full dinner, and every single dish was absolutely delicious. The perfect combination of incredible art and fantastic food. If you are looking for a wonderful experience, don't miss out on this!
I was incredibly underwhelmed by this performance. Firstly, when you google 'Tablao Flamenco El Arsenal ' to find directions, it sends you to the wrong place. When I arrived (10' late) the people were unwelcoming. I found the dancers were very performative and did not embody their movements but merely performed them. I was bored. Could not wait for the show to be over so I could leave. If you want to see passionate, embodied flamenco, go to sacromonte in granada where every inch of their body is part of the dance and at half the price. This was a waste of my time and money.
Absolutely fantastic! We had read the good reviews and glad we booked this Flamenco for our visit to Seville. Authentic, intense and intimate. The food (tapas) was delicious and the portion sizes were fantastic. The waiting staff were attentive. We were seated right next to the stage so close you could feel the vibrations on the stage and the swooshing of the dresses. Fabulous!!
Fantastic show and great tapas! The dancers, musician and singers were wonderful. What a great experience!
Overall, we enjoyed the Flamenco Show at Tablao El Arenal. This intimate venue allows everybody to see and enjoy the show. The dancers and musicians (a guitarist and two people providing percussion with their feet and hands) were amazing, and they looked like they were having fun telling the story through dance, chant, and music. For food options, please note that you will not have a choice of tapas. They are pre-made to help serve the customers in a limited amount of time. If you want options, you may want to choose the dinner instead of the tapas. This show was a great introduction to Flamenco, and made me realize I should have studied the history and purpose of Flamenco before I saw this show.
We booked dinner with the show and were not disappointed. To be honest, if all we did was have dinner here, it would have been one of the best dinners we had over our entire 17 day vacation! The show was also very good. The performers were a bit more "experienced" than other flamenco shows, but they brought youthful energy nonetheless and put on an amazing performance. So much so we tried to see another show during our trip but just couldn't fit it in the schedule.
