Flamenco Ana Maria

Nice flamenco show, but the rest was disappointing. We went to this restaurant in Marbella to watch a flamenco show. The performance was enjoyable and well done — definitely the best part of the evening. Unfortunately, the food was not at the same level. It was quite mediocre: one paella and four starters shared among eight people, with nothing particularly memorable in terms of quality or quantity. The real surprise came with the bill: €587 for eight people, around €76 per person, for a very average dinner. On top of that, the cost of the show had not been clearly explained in advance. We were told it included a drink, but in the end the drink was charged at full price. This made the whole experience feel unclear and not very transparent. Overall: nice flamenco, but very poor value for money. Good atmosphere, but at this price and with this lack of clarity, I would not recommend it.

What an amazing night! The flamenco show was full of real passion and tradition. Such an intense and beautiful atmosphere. And the paella was absolutely delicious! A perfect combination of great food and authentic Spanish culture💃🏻🔥

Beautiful place, flamenco was very authentic, not trying to be too flashy with fancy dresses and other extravaganza. Very good singer, great dancer (especially Sr Don Cortes) and excellent guitarist- Ruben Escalona-who is a real artist and virtuoso guitarist. Show was performed with good taste and respect for the traditions of flamenco, highly recommend!

The show was great, but unfortunately the food was disappointing. The paella was undercooked and the seafood was still raw, and the croquetas arrived cold inside instead of warm. I mentioned it to the staff, but no gesture or solution was offered. My family is from Andalucía, so I do know what good Spanish food should taste like which made it even more disappointing.

Fantastic food and entertainment, well worth a visit. Only scored down as the bar man cocked up the bill at the end of the night. Worth a visit though 👍

Have been twice now & we enjoyed it as much the 2nd time. Absolutely authentic little place full of atmosphere. Very different to the usual tourist traps doing so called flamenco. This place really gives you an insight into this beautiful part of Spanish culture. Ana Maria herself is very friendly. We haven’t eaten here but next time we will do as the food looked really good! ***Edit: we have now eaten here too a couple of times & it’s fantastic! I can recommend the paella- it’s no problem waiting for it to be cooked because you are enjoying the show! It also makes sense to eat at the same time because although they still charge 25€ per person it seems less expensive because you are spending more time here eating & drinking. We did have a lovely bottle of white wine which was served nice & cold. We’ll definitely be back again next trip with more friends. If watching the Tabla doesn’t give you a lump in your throat or give you goosebumps I don’t know what will! Absolutely passionate & so atmospheric- we all absolutely loved it.

Nice, local flamenco bar. Strange pricing though: 25eur for entrance normally, 15eur now during pandemic time but if you are Spanish it's 10eur. Anyway I recommend it
