This was a joyful, enormously entertaining experience! We left feeling as if we had attended a big party. The opera singers were passionate and talented. They sang regularly throughout the dinner. There were a few numbers where the audience was encouraged to join in. At the end of the evening, pop music came on and one of the staff members initiated a conga line with the audience that wove around the entire restaurant! The food was good, particularly the appetizers and sangria. But…go for the show. You won’t regret it!
We had no idea what to expect when we booked this, but it was great fun. The staff actually sings a little opera and then some popular songs. The food was delicious. We would definitely do it again.
2 time visiting and still the best experience in Madrid. Every time the experience is better. My family loves it.
Even if you are not a fan of opera, this will be an absolutely, absolutely fantastic experience. Words alone cannot describe this experience. If you are considering this experience, don't hesitate. It is a rare opportunity, particularly at this price and with this remarkable quality of cuisine and wine.
These are professional opera singers who perform on these occasions to rehearse and to keep their skills razor sharp.
After 10 days in Spain, this was hands-down my best experience.
We love this place. We visited it 2 years ago during previous Madrid trip and now again. The good food, drinks, great entertainment and wonderful staff. They the warmest and friendliest people.
Live sarzuela, (spanish opera) and will get the whole room engaged.
Highly recommend this place.
We really enjoyed this show. It was a lot of fun and the performances and staff were great! My only suggestion would be to show up on the hungry side as it is a lot of food.
Outstanding performances!! Food was great too. It felt like you had a private concert from amazing opera professionals. Could charge more for this experience. Fantastic!!
The quality of singers was decent, but the quality of food was pretty bad. We made our reservation starting at 09:00PM, but it started at about 10:00PM due to the unexpected performance prior to ours.
Was really more than we expected. Would recommend for anyone looking for a fun night out with a group. The cast was so warm and you could absolutely pick up on the fun they were having. Very engaging with the crowd.
Food was a bonus as I figured it would be a bust at this type of event , but it was not. Do it!
Amazing!! The singing was phenomenal and the venue pretty. The food was very nice. I’m so glad I went!
Food and piano, opera was wonderful.
I enjoyed the food, and opera. Very creational concept made me feel relaxed while eating in a warm atmosphere
Didn’t know what to expect. It was an amazing experience. Had such a good time I would book it again. The Opera singers were excellent and the food was also. Such a positive place. The staff were friendly and accommodating.
Wonderful experience, lively entertainment, delicious food. The staff were very friendly Highly recommend.
What a unique and amazing experience! Not only the waiters are great opera singers, but they move around with grace and perfect customer service skills, looking after you but not intrusive. The food was delicious, with a tasty prawn and salmon salad, a juicy stake and yummy black chocolate tart and champagne sorbet. I would do that again in a heartbeat if I was in Madrid again, outstanding!!!
The food and service was really great, the singing……AMAZING! Had several choices for meal, very attentive service! The music was so good, and the finale a blast! Very inclusive and entertaining! Highly recommend!
Awesome unique show. They make it feel intimate. Kudos to the pianist who found out where we are from and played a song from our country for us. The owner takes her time to go to the tables and connect with the families on a personal level. The interaction between the artists feels like those between family members. Highly recommended
What a magnificent experience! I bought a ticket through Viator before I left home. The space is intimate and really customer oriented; I was asked on more than two occasions was everything ok and was I fine. Excellent service. Before I received my first course I had jamon bruschetta, then a tortilla. My first course was pasta bows stuffed with ham in a champignon and caviar sauce. Yes it was a little salty but it was delectable. I had a beer & asked for red wine and a bottle of Monticello Rioja Cranza 2020 was brought to the table along with a bottle of water. Main course was steak & potatoes. This is not Argentina but the steak was great. Finally came the lemon sorbet with champagne, absolutely yum. All the while the waiters would sing to us. How bloody fabulous is that? One woman Suzy, Susie was astounding; her powerful voice was beautiful to hear. Everyone who performed was great. I really appreciated being included; as was everyone. Congratulations you did a magnificent job at feeding me good food and entertaining me so that I will talk about it for years to come. Thank you❣️
FANTASTIC event filled with
music, singing and good meal with great atmosphere and delightful surprise at the end!!
must see
you will not regret this for sure
The driver contacted me by text letting me know where he was and where to meet him after baggage pick up withbeautiful Mercedes-Benz S glass sedan. Very professional and stress-free.
I’ve always wanted to attend an Opera show and haven’t got around to it. This was as close to an Opera experience you can get. Their voices were phenomenal. The food and wine was really good. I can’t remember our waitress name but she was such a sweet African Woman.
Wow! Loved every minute of this unique dining experience! The opera singers, who also happen to be your wait staff, have amazing voices. The food was excellent and the singing was even better. What a great evening! If you want a memorable night in Madrid, this is it. Highly recommend!
It was an amazing dining experience. The food selection was great and the whole bottle of wine for the table was generous; the service was excellent, the servers were friendly and very talented, and the owner stopped by the tables and see if everyone was enjoying themselves. I’d highly recommend this unique opera and dinner
Wonderful experience, great ambiance, great performers, a great time for all. The food was average but the overall experience for the price was well worth it.
I had a great time. People singing were very talented and the piano player was also. The singers also made it fun for the crowd. At the end they sang familiar songs and we could join in singing or they had us dancing to a couple of songs also. Very funny evening. The food wasn't totally up to par, we didn't think. It's too bad because otherwise it was an A+ evening.
This is a must while in Madrid! The food was good, the entertainment was exceptional! A fun evening to do with my spouse. This would also be a fun night to do with other couple or older kids (teens). Well done!!
Everyone was super friendly and each insured we were having a good time throughout. It was a lot of fun and engaging and interactive. The singers were all fantastic! The meal was also delicious.
An incredible evening. The food was fab the wine also great. The staff were amazing as it turned out they are the Opera stars.
Their voices give you goosebumps such passion.
The atmosphere was just perfect. Exceeded all my expectations. When I'm next in Madrid I will definitely return to this place.
You must visit. I loved every moment x
Great service and performance. I enjoyed the different individuals, staff was personable, polite, and passionate.
Great experience and warm atmosphere. I will come back with my family soon. All ages welcome, including children. We had fun and even participated by dancing and singing by the end.
A great show. The waiters and staff performed well. The whole experience lasted 3 hours but it felt like time flew by. I highly recommend this experience. Great Opera performance
