Tenerife: Scandal Dinner Show Entry Ticket and 5-Course Meal

Dinner plus burlesque sounds risky, and it works. This adults-only night pairs a 5-course meal at GF Victoria with a modern burlesque show in the Las Olas hall, with music, singing, and comedy running while you eat. I like how the room lighting and the way the action is staged make it feel like entertainment first, meal second, in the best way.

My favorite part is the drink flow, with a welcome drink on arrival and wine that keeps getting topped up. My main caution is the practical stuff that can catch you off guard: the vibe is elegant-casual, cameras are not allowed, and the commentary can lean heavily Spanish, so you may not catch everything if you only speak English.

Quick take: what matters most

• Las Olas hall setup keeps the show visible from many tables, not just a front row view
• 5-course menu with drink service runs alongside the acts, so the timing stays lively
• Bottomless-feeling wine shows up often, with staff staying on top of your glass
• Adult burlesque plus circus tricks includes acrobatics such as trapeze and aerial work
• Dress code is real: long pants for men, no swimwear, and sandals or flip flops are out
• Language can be uneven since more of the hosting may be in Spanish than English

Entering the Las Olas hall at GF Victoria

You start the night at the GF Victoria Hotel in Tenerife, in the Las Olas hall. This matters because the venue is designed for performance, not just for dinner. When the doors open, you are in a dim, show-ready space where the lighting helps you stay in that in-the-moment mood.

Check in at the desk inside the venue, then you are escorted to your table. Many diners find the seating works because the show is staged around the room, so you are not stuck watching from one narrow angle.

If you want a smooth start, plan to arrive a little early. One review notes the GF Victoria sky bar as a great pre-show option with views over the area. Even if you do not have much time, arriving calmly helps you settle in before the music starts and the first acts roll in.

The meal and drinks: 5 courses that pace with the show

The ticket includes a 5-course dinner plus a welcome drink, and drinks are served throughout the show. The biggest value here is pacing: courses are timed so you are not waiting around in silence for the next act. Reviews also praise how the staff keep service moving at a steady rhythm between performances.

What you should expect, practically, is this: you eat while the show continues in the same space. So your evening becomes a loop of act, course, act, course. That is a good fit if you hate long, awkward restaurant waits, and you want entertainment to keep your attention.

Drink service is a highlight. Multiple reviews describe the wine as repeatedly topped up, including both red and white options. You also get water offered, which is smart if you plan to pace yourself through the night.

There is one more practical detail: your table may be shared with other diners. That is not automatically a problem, but if you are picky about having your own space, it is good to know in advance.

The show itself: burlesque with a circus mindset

The Scandal Dinner Show is built around adult burlesque with a modern sensibility. Think staged sensuality mixed with live performance. The acts are not all the same style, which is why the energy stays up. You get singing, music, dance, and also acrobatic work that feels closer to circus theater than a strip-style revue.

Costumes range from lavish to sparkly, and the room stays active in multiple zones, not just one center stage. Several reviews highlight acrobatic standouts such as trapeze work and aerial acts, and one person mentions unexpected elements like water-themed performance.

Humor is also part of the formula. The mix of comedy with sensual choreography helps the mood stay fun rather than overly intense. If you enjoy performance art that plays with flirtation and athleticism, this format is a strong match.

Important boundary: if you are easily offended by partially naked bodies, this show is not for you. Still, it is not described as adult nudity in a graphic way. The overall vibe comes across as athletic, theatrical, and intentionally entertaining.

The food reality check: regular and vegetarian options

You have two menu paths: a regular option and a vegetarian option. Vegetarian and vegan meals need to be requested at least 1 day before the activity, so do it early when you book.

Here is the honest picture on the food: the meal is often praised as high quality and well served, but the biggest complaint is taste and composition. One review notes the dishes leaned heavily toward fish and seafood, and that there is no detailed menu shared in advance. That can be fine if you love the sea, but it can be a letdown if you expected a broader mix.

Other reviews point to individual dishes that did not land well, including one person who disliked a fish course and another who felt some courses were not to their taste. On the flip side, many reviews call the meal delicious and describe it as genuinely five proper courses.

So my practical advice is simple: go in hungry, expect the food to be part of a themed performance night, and know that fish-forward courses are likely. If you have strong dietary rules beyond vegetarian or vegan, the provided info does not say whether those can be accommodated, so you will want to contact the organizer directly after booking.

Price and value: is $111 a good deal?

At about $111 per person for a 2.5-hour evening, this is not a bargain ticket. The value depends on what you want from your Tenerife night.

If you care about three things together, it can feel fair:

• a real show with multiple performers and high-skill acts
• five courses rather than a light meal
• a drink service that often feels like it is keeping pace with the party

Where it may fall short is if you mainly want a specific kind of dinner. Because the menu can skew toward fish and because some people did not get a clear preview of what they would eat, you might feel less satisfied if you are picky.

Also, the show and meal are bundled into one event. That is great for convenience, but it means you cannot easily adjust the evening on the fly if you do not love one course. If your ideal night out is all about food you can customize, you may prefer another dinner option and do a separate show.

Dress code and house rules that affect your night

This is where you can make or break the experience. The dress code is elegant-casual, and men must wear long pants. Entry is prohibited for people wearing swimwear such as swimsuits, beach clothes, or sandals.

Even if you are on holiday, do not treat this like a beach club. Reviews mention the audience often dressing more glam than basic resort wear. If you arrive in flip flops, it is a fast way to feel stressed before the show even begins, and the rules specifically say sandals and flip flops are not allowed.

On the rules side, there is a hard no on cameras. Cameras are not allowed, and professional cameras, drones, and flash photography are also prohibited. That includes photography inside the show, and you should plan for the fact you will not be taking photos while the acts are running.

If you want photos, it is worth asking on arrival whether there is any permitted moment for pictures with performers after the show. One review says photos with the cast after may be possible, but it is not described as guaranteed, so consider it optional rather than a promise.

Language, pacing, and seating: what to watch for

The host or greeter speaks Spanish and English, but the language balance during the show can still feel Spanish-leaning. Several reviews mention that the introductory speeches are in Spanish more than English, and you might only get the gist.

Does that ruin the show? Not really, because the main entertainment is visual and musical. But if you want the full story behind every act, you may miss some of it. Going in with a flexible mindset helps: focus on what is happening onstage and the music mood, not on perfect narration.

Service is generally praised as attentive, with staff repeatedly topping up wine quickly. Still, one review mentions a service hiccup at their specific table, including missed attention at moments. That is not the overall pattern, but it suggests that seating location can influence how fast staff reach you during busy transitions.

Finally, because the venue is designed for performance, there is a lot of movement. If you are sensitive to crowds and nearby distractions, it is smart to keep expectations realistic. A small number of notes mention disruptions from other diners, which can happen anywhere when alcohol is involved.

Who should book this, and who should skip it

This show is a great fit for couples celebrating something. One review describes it as a big hit for a partner’s birthday, and the general tone of the event feels like date-night energy with plenty of humor.

It also works well if you like stage talent that mixes dance with athletic feats. The standout praise across reviews focuses on dancers, acrobatic numbers, and the sheer variety of acts. If you enjoy circus-style performance in a glamour setting, this is your kind of evening.

I would skip it if:

• you cannot handle adult-themed performances, including partially naked bodies
• you need lots of English narration throughout the show
• you strongly dislike fish or want a predictable menu
• you hate events where you cannot take photos during the main acts

Should you book the Scandal Dinner Show at GF Victoria?

Book it if you want a single-ticket Tenerife night that combines a five-course dinner, live entertainment, and a strong party atmosphere. The most consistently praised parts are the show quality, the variety of acts, the service, and how often the drink service keeps your glass full. For many people, it is not just a dinner with a show, it feels like full entertainment from start to finish.

Skip or think twice if you are mostly food-focused and picky about menu details, especially since the meal can be fish-heavy and some courses do not hit for every palate. Also, if cameras matter to you, the no-photography rule will change how you experience the night.

If you decide to go, do two things and you will stack the odds in your favor: wear your best elegant-casual outfit with long pants and leave the camera at the hotel. Then settle in, because the Las Olas hall is built for watching, eating, and laughing while the show keeps moving.
