Flamenco Show with Dinner and Sangria

Experience the Passion of Flamenco in Washington, D.C.

When looking for a night that combines cultural authenticity with a lively, sensory experience, the Flamenco Show with Dinner and Sangria at Taberna del Alabardero might just be your perfect fit. For $330 per couple, you get roughly two hours of vibrant entertainment, including a traditional Flamenco performance, a carefully curated Spanish dinner, and plenty of sangria to go around. The setting is elegant, the food is authentic, and the passion of the dancers promises a memorable evening.

What we love most about this experience is how seamlessly the restaurant blends culinary craftsmanship with cultural artistry. The generous serving of paella makes you feel like you’re dining in Spain, while the live Flamenco dancers and musicians create an electric atmosphere that’s hard to beat. Plus, the included two glasses of sangria perfectly complement the lively evening.

One aspect to consider is that this experience is designed for small groups—limited to just two people—so it’s more intimate than a big tourist show. If you’re seeking a private, upscale night out with a focus on authentic Spanish food and dance, this tour hits the mark. However, if you’re traveling with children or prefer a more casual environment, this might feel a bit refined or formal.

This experience suits couples celebrating special occasions, cultural enthusiasts, and food lovers who want a taste of Spain without leaving Washington, D.C.

Dinner: Spanish Flavors & Tapas
The meal begins with a trio of Spanish tapas, which may include classics like olives, chorizo, or seafood options — all thoughtfully prepared to showcase authentic flavors. These small bites whet your appetite and set the tone for the evening. The paella is a highlight — a large, aromatic dish filled with rice, saffron, and ingredients like chicken, seafood, or vegetables, depending on your choice (excluding Lobster Paella). Reviewers consistently praise the quality of the paella, describing it as “cooked to perfection” and “packed with flavor.”

Adding to the experience is the sangria, served in two glasses, which is refreshingly balanced, not overly sweet, and complements the spicy and savory dishes beautifully. The included desserts provide a sweet ending, with options that delight the palate and offer a satisfying conclusion to your Spanish feast.
