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

Tenerife’s Scandal Dinner Show pairs a five-course meal with burlesque, comedy, live singing, dance, and striking gymnastics. The show has a polished, cabaret feel, with lavish costumes and athletic acts rather than a simple stage revue. It is an adult evening for people who want dinner and entertainment in one sitting.

I like the way the acts keep changing, so the night moves from music and humor to dance and acrobatics. I also like the practical value of the package: a welcome drink, dinner, and drinks during the show are included. The main caution is the language mix. Spanish is used more than English in some parts, and seafood features heavily in the menu.

Quick takeaways for booking

• Expect a burlesque show with serious athletic skill: Gymnastics, dance, singing, comedy, and music share the stage.
• The five-course meal is part of the entertainment: Courses arrive at intervals, allowing the show and dinner to continue together.
• Seafood may dominate the menu: Request vegetarian or vegan food at least one day ahead.
• Dress for an elegant evening: Men need long pants, and swimwear, beach clothes, sportswear, and sandals are not accepted.
• Plan for a shared table: Your party may sit with other diners.
• Allow 2.5 hours: The event begins and ends in the Las Olas hall at the GF Victoria Hotel.

An adult cabaret inside the GF Victoria

The show takes place in the GF Victoria Hotel’s Las Olas auditorium. The room is arranged for dinner and performance, with dim lighting that helps create a cabaret mood from the moment you enter.

At check-in, look for the desk in the hall. Staff will direct you to your table, and that table may be shared with other people. This matters if you are planning a romantic birthday evening and expect complete privacy. It is less of an issue if you enjoy the social feel of a dinner show.

The tone is sensual but not presented as a nude show. Expect burlesque costumes, suggestive dance, humor, and an erotic edge, mixed with gymnastics and polished stage work. The production aims for spectacle rather than a traditional theater play, so the appeal comes from movement, music, costumes, and quick changes of mood.

The room’s low light and close dinner setup make the performers feel part of the evening rather than a distant stage attraction. You eat while the show unfolds around you, so this is not a formal meal followed by a separate performance. The two parts are linked throughout the night.

What happens during the 2.5-hour evening

The precise starting time changes, so check availability before booking. Once you arrive at Las Olas, the check-in desk handles your table assignment. A welcome drink begins the evening, giving you time to settle in before the first acts.

The performance combines several styles:

• Singing and live music
• Dance and burlesque
• Comedy and audience interaction
• Gymnastics and other athletic routines
• Costume changes ranging from glittering outfits to elaborate stage wear

That range is one of the strongest reasons to choose this show. You are not watching the same type of number for two and a half hours. One sequence may focus on singing, another on dance, and another on physical skill. Short breaks can also bring some movement from the audience, with dancing reported during pauses.

The athletic side deserves special attention. The gymnastics are not just decoration around the dinner. Acts can have the feel of a sensual circus performance, with physical feats that add real surprise to the burlesque format. If you want a quiet cabaret with a few songs and a meal, this may feel more energetic than expected.

The humor is part of the design, too. Some jokes and presenter remarks are in Spanish, and not every spoken line is translated into English. You can still follow the visual acts, music, and dance, but language affects how much you get from the comedy and introductions.

Five courses and drinks during the show

The GF Victoria kitchen prepares a five-course menu to accompany the performance. The meal is designed around varied flavors, so dinner arrives in stages rather than as one large plate. This pacing helps the evening feel like a full event instead of a quick meal with entertainment added on.

Food quality is generally a strong point. Dishes have been described as tasty, well timed, and good enough to support the price. Service also receives consistent praise, with attentive staff keeping plates and glasses moving while the show continues.

The menu has two important limitations. First, portions may seem modest if you arrive very hungry. Five courses create a sense of plenty, but this is still a performance menu, not an all-you-can-eat dinner.

Second, seafood appears to make up much of the regular menu. Prawns and other fish-based dishes may be served, and you are not necessarily given a printed menu explaining every course in advance. That can be awkward if you have strong dislikes, allergies, or simply want to know what is on the plate before eating it.

Request a vegetarian or vegan menu at least one day before the show. Do not wait until you sit down. The information provided does not give a full sample menu, so you should contact the provider before booking if you need detailed ingredient information or have a serious allergy.

Drinks are part of the evening, not an extra purchase at every course. Your ticket includes a welcome drink and drinks during the show. Several accounts describe wine being poured freely throughout the performance, but the exact drink arrangement should still be confirmed when you book, especially if you do not drink wine.

How the language affects the experience

The hosts and staff speak Spanish and English, but the balance may favor Spanish. Basic instructions and some key points may be given in English, yet jokes, presenter remarks, and spoken sections can be harder to follow if you do not speak Spanish.

This is less important during the music, dance, gymnastics, and visual comedy. The acts communicate a lot without words. It matters more if your enjoyment depends on understanding every introduction or punch line.

I would not choose this show mainly for spoken comedy if you are not comfortable with Spanish. I would choose it for the full mix of music, movement, costumes, dinner, and physical performance. English-speaking staff are available, but that does not mean every line from the stage receives a full translation.

Dress code, cameras, and practical rules

The requested dress code is elegant-casual, but you should err on the smart side. Men must wear long pants. Swimwear, beach clothes, sportswear, sandals, and flip-flops are not accepted.

This is worth taking seriously because Tenerife’s resort areas make it easy to stay in beach clothing all day. Pack a change of clothes if you are heading directly from the pool or shore. A polished evening outfit fits the hotel setting and avoids a problem at the door.

Photography is not allowed inside the show. Cameras, professional cameras, drones, flash photography, and sportswear are also listed as prohibited items. Do not plan on recording the acts from your table. You may be able to take pictures with performers afterward, but the performance itself is a no-photo setting.

The no-camera rule has a practical benefit: it keeps the room darker and the stage less distracting. It also means you should enjoy the acts in the moment rather than trying to capture the acrobatics on a phone.

Is $106 a fair price?

At $106 per person, this is not a cheap dinner out. It becomes easier to justify when you count the complete package: a five-course meal, a professional stage production, a welcome drink, and drinks during the show, all within a 2.5-hour evening.

You are also paying for convenience. Instead of arranging dinner and a separate night of entertainment, you have one reservation at a major hotel. For a birthday, anniversary, or special evening, that all-in-one format can make sense.

The value depends on what you normally spend in Tenerife. If you would otherwise pay for a quality dinner, several drinks, and a separate performance, the price looks more reasonable. If you mainly want a large meal, the modest portions and seafood-heavy menu may leave you less satisfied.

I see the ticket as entertainment-led value. The food needs to be good, but the show is the reason to book. The strongest parts of the evening are the variety of acts, the athletic performances, the service, and the polished setting.

Who should book the Scandal Dinner Show?

This experience suits adults looking for something different from a standard restaurant meal or a familiar resort bar. It works particularly well for couples, birthday celebrations, and anyone who enjoys cabaret with a playful, sensual edge.

You should be comfortable with burlesque and adult humor. The show is not suitable for children under 16, and its atmosphere is designed for an adult audience.

It also suits people who enjoy visual performance. You do not need to understand every spoken joke to appreciate the singing, music, costumes, dance, and gymnastics. If you prefer a fully English-language production, however, the Spanish-heavy presentation may be frustrating.

Food-focused diners need to think carefully. Ask about the menu before booking if seafood is a concern. Vegetarian and vegan options are available only when requested at least 24 hours ahead.

The best way to plan your evening

Arrive dressed for the hotel, not the beach. Give yourself enough time to find the Las Olas check-in desk and receive your table assignment without rushing.

If you are celebrating a birthday or anniversary, tell the provider when booking, but do not assume every announcement or presentation will be in English. If you want a drink before the show, the GF Victoria Sky Bar is nearby and has views toward Playa de las Américas, making it a possible add-on before the performance.

Keep your expectations clear:

• This is dinner with an ongoing stage show, not a silent fine-dining meal.
• The table may be shared.
• The regular menu may include several seafood courses.
• The comedy and spoken sections may be mainly in Spanish.
• The show is sensual and adult, but it is not described as nude.
• The evening is carefully timed, with dinner courses placed between sections of the performance.

The activity is wheelchair accessible. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so you must make your own way to the GF Victoria Hotel. The event ends back at the Las Olas hall.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund, and the reserve-now, pay-later option can help if your Tenerife plans are still changing.

My verdict on the Scandal Dinner Show

Book it if you want a polished adult evening built around variety. The strongest combination is the five-course meal, attentive service, flowing drinks, and a show that mixes burlesque with genuine gymnastics and live performance.

Think twice if you dislike seafood, need every joke translated, or want a quiet private dinner. The shared-table setup and Spanish-led commentary are real considerations, not minor footnotes.

For most couples and celebration groups, I think the $106 price can be fair because the show carries the evening. Ask for vegetarian or vegan food in advance, dress more smartly than casually, and arrive ready for a theatrical night rather than a conventional meal. With those expectations, Scandal offers one of Tenerife’s more unusual dinner experiences.
