Flamenco Dinner Show in Barcelona

Dinner and a world-class flamenco show, on La Rambla since 1970

Looking for a flamenco show with dinner in Barcelona? At Tablao Flamenco Cordobes, in the heart of La Rambla, the evening unfolds in two acts: first, a gastronomic journey through more than 40 traditional dishes of Spanish and Catalan cuisine; then, a 70-minute flamenco performance by some of the finest artists in Spain, in Barcelona’s historic tablao, named Best Flamenco Tablao in the World 2025.

Dinner is always served before the show, never during it. That is what separates an authentic tablao from an ordinary dinner show: when the artists take the stage, nothing competes with them. 

You dine first, unhurried, in rooms decorated by the master restorers of the Alhambra, and then you are escorted into the tablao for the performance, with a glass of cava or sangria in hand.

How your evening works

1. Dinner first

You are welcomed into our dining rooms, inspired by the Nasrid art of 15th-century Andalusia and handcrafted by the official restorers of the Alhambra in Granada, with views over the bustle of La Rambla. 

Our chef, Jordi Narro, has designed a tour of Spain and Catalonia on a single table: seasonal and locally sourced.

2. Then, the show

After dinner you move into the tablao itself, an intimate room of just 80 to 100 seats with vaulted ceilings that make microphones unnecessary. 

For 70 minutes, dancers, singers and guitarists perform pure, unamplified flamenco at arm’s length. Dinner guests enjoy preferential seating, closest to the stage.

There is no other place in Barcelona where you can taste such a wide variety of traditional dishes and then watch flamenco of this level, all under one roof and in a single evening.

Why this is the best flamenco dinner show in Barcelona

The artists

This is not a resident troupe performing the same routine year-round. Our lineup changes almost weekly, drawing on the most important names in flamenco today, the same stage that hosted Camarón de la Isla, Farruco and Manuela Carrasco now welcomes figures like Farruquito, Tomatito, Pastora Galván, Karime Amaya and El Yiyo.

In 2025, the Flamenco School of Andalusia named us Best Flamenco Tablao in the World at the Silverio Franconetti International Flamenco Awards.

The format

Many Barcelona dinner shows serve food during the performance, reducing flamenco to background music. We never do. Dinner first, show after, with your full attention where it belongs.

The room

An authentic tablao of 80–100 seats with natural acoustics: no microphones, no speakers, just the true sound of the guitar, the cante and the zapateado, amplified only by the vaulted architecture.

The kitchen

Chef Jordi Narro’s selection of traditional, seasonal and locally sourced cooking, the widest offering of typical Spanish and Catalan dishes you can sample in a single Barcelona evening, with unlimited drinks included.

The history

Founded in 1970 and run by three generations of a family of flamenco artists, Tablao Cordobes is the historic tablao of Barcelona and the only venue surviving from the golden age of the city’s show business on La Rambla.

Dietary needs? We have you covered

If you choose the buffet option, it includes vegan, vegetarian, halal-certified, gluten-free, lactose-free and nut-free alternatives, prepared daily with local ingredients. If you have any allergy or intolerance, let us know when booking or upon arrival,  you can also review our allergen chart in advance.

The setting: dining inside a work of art

The dining rooms and tablao of Tablao Flamenco Cordobes were decorated by hand by the official restorers of the Alhambra in Granada, faithfully recreating the Nasrid art of 15th-century Andalusia, a tribute to the Arab-Andalusian culture that is one of the roots of flamenco. 

From your table, La Rambla unfolds below in all its life: the soul of Barcelona as the backdrop to your dinner.
