Sex, jokes, and a real dinner in Tenerife. At the GF Victoria hotel’s Las Olas hall, you’ll get a 5-course meal paired with modern burlesque-style entertainment, with drinks flowing as the night goes on. The main drawback to plan for is the strict dress rules: long pants for men and no swimwear or sandals.

What I really like is the way the show feels close to your table. The acts move around the room and the lighting is set for a proper night-out mood, not a distant stage. I also like that you’re not stuck choosing between food or entertainment, because this is built as one continuous experience for the full 2.5 hours.

One more thing to know up front: the 5-course menu can be hit-or-miss depending on your preferences, especially if you don’t eat fish/seafood. If you’re flexible, this is a fun, theatrical evening with real production value.

Key highlights you should know before you go

• Modern burlesque with acrobatics: expect singing, music, dance, and stunt-style performances in the same show
• Las Olas hall staging: the show is set around the room so your seat usually works
• A true 5-course dinner: timed smoothly with the performances (not just “food while you wait”)
• Drinks included from the start: a welcome drink, then ongoing drinks during the show
• Adult-focused content: not for kids under 16, and there may be partial nudity elements
• Rules that matter: no cameras inside and a dress code that’s more formal than beach-clothes

Where the Scandal Dinner Show happens: GF Victoria and the Las Olas hall

The Scandal Dinner Show takes place at the GF Victoria, a 5-star GL property in Tenerife (Canary Islands). Your entry point is the Las Olas hall, where the auditorium is dim and designed to make the performances feel like a night-event, not dinner-in-a-restaurant.

This matters because the venue shapes the whole vibe. You’re not watching from a separate dining room while sound travels in. Instead, the show and meal share the same space, so the lighting, pacing, and performer movement are part of the experience. It’s also wheelchair accessible, so the venue is set up for mobility needs.

When you arrive, go straight to the check-in desk first. That simple step saves stress later, because your table is allocated there before you settle in.

Your 2.5-hour evening: timing, check-in, and what “dinner show” means in practice

This experience runs for about 2.5 hours, and show start times depend on availability. Plan on a full evening block, not something you’ll squeeze in between errands.

On arrival, you typically begin with a greeting drink. Multiple diners describe being met with cava or prosecco right away, then escorted to the table. After that, the show continues as the courses roll out at an intentional pace.

Also, check the seating reality before you go: your table may be shared with other people. That doesn’t have to be a deal-breaker, but it’s good to know so you’re not surprised by the “dinner theatre” format.

And about the pacing: the show is designed so you don’t miss major acts while you’re eating. From the way the night is run, it’s more like a scripted performance with synchronized courses than a free-for-all buffet model.

The 5-course meal: what’s included, how vegetarian works, and the fish/seafood factor

You’re paying for two things at once: a 5-course menu and a full adult stage show. The meal isn’t an add-on. It’s meant to be part of the flow.

Here’s the practical side of the menu:

• You can choose between a regular and a vegetarian option.
• Vegetarian and vegan choices need to be requested at least 1 day before the activity.
• There isn’t a guarantee of a printed menu handed to you in advance, and some people found it a little unclear what each course would be.

One important pattern to set your expectations: the food can lean fish/seafood-heavy. Several accounts describe the menu that way, and a few people said this was a mismatch for their tastes (even if they liked the show overall). If you strongly prefer meat or you’re picky about seafood, this is the one area where your personal preference can decide whether the night feels worth it.

On the upside, many diners also call the meal “proper courses,” with service timed well. The portion size is sometimes described as on the smaller side, but the overall experience is built around the entertainment too, so you’re not relying on the dinner alone to satisfy your appetite.

Vegetarian and vegan tips

If you need vegetarian or vegan, send the request early and keep it specific. The rules state the request must be made at least 1 day before, and that’s the cleanest way to avoid last-minute changes.

Burlesque with a modern edge: comedy, music, and the acrobatics you’ll remember

The show is adult-focused burlesque with a modern sensibility. The room is dim, the costuming runs from lavish to sparkly, and the choreography aims for humor plus sensuality.

What you should expect includes:

• Singing and live music
• Dance and comedy-style bits
• Acrobatic performances, including trapeze routines
• Some visually surprising acts, described by diners as including water-based moments

The big reason people rave about this show is the variety. It’s not only “one style of dancing.” You get a sequence of acts that change the energy level throughout the night. One person described it as having moments similar to a raunchy Cirque-style vibe, and that fits with the strong emphasis on athletic performance.

About nudity: the show is adult and you may see partially naked bodies or erotic staging. Some people explicitly say it is not full nudity, while others just flag that the show includes partial nudity elements. If you’re sensitive to that, it’s better to skip this one.

One more realistic note: the language on the mic can be uneven. The venue indicates Spanish and English, but some diners found the spoken commentary leaned more toward Spanish than English. It doesn’t ruin the show, but if you want lots of explanation in English, plan to watch first and listen second.

And yes, there may be humor meant to get the room involved. Diners mention audience participation during short breaks, including people joining in with dancing.

Drinks and service rhythm: welcome drink, steady attention, and the wine question

Your ticket includes a welcome drink, and there are other drinks throughout the show. In practice, many diners describe wine being topped up constantly, with servers staying attentive and quick.

This part matters more than it sounds. A dinner show lives or dies on pacing:

• You don’t want empty glasses while the best act is happening.
• You want food delivered at the right time so you don’t miss big moments.

Multiple accounts praise staff attentiveness and describe the meal and show running smoothly together. Even people who were less happy with certain courses still often rate the service and atmosphere highly.

The drink angle for responsible planning

If wine is flowing steadily, it’s easy to forget that you’re still on a timetable. If you plan to head out afterward (or you’re driving yourself), pace your drinking. The show gives you plenty of reasons to sip, but you control the speed.

Dress code and no-photo rules: the details that can ruin your night if you ignore them

This show is styled as elegant-casual, but it’s more formal than a casual dinner at home.

Here’s what you need to follow:

• Long pants for men
• Entry is prohibited for those wearing swimwear or beach-style clothing
• No sandals or flip flops
• No sportswear

That’s the most common “vacation mistake.” If you’re used to dinner on holiday being whatever you wore to the beach, this is a different standard.

Also, photography rules are strict:

• Cameras and professional cameras are not allowed
• No flash photography
• No drones
• No photography inside during the show

This affects two things:

1. You won’t have the usual “I’ll just record this act” mindset.
2. You should mentally plan to enjoy with your eyes, not through a screen.

Some diners mention photo opportunities with cast members after the show, but you should assume the show itself is not photo-friendly and follow staff guidance on the day.

Price and value: is $111 for a dinner show a fair deal in Tenerife?

At $111 per person for roughly 2.5 hours, you’re paying for a bundled experience: a venue-based adult performance plus a 5-course meal plus a welcome drink and ongoing drinks.

So what makes it feel like good value, and what can make it feel expensive?

Why it can feel like a good deal

• You’re getting a full show with multiple performer disciplines: music, comedy, dance, and stunts.
• Many diners describe the meal as genuinely structured as five courses, not a token dinner.
• The drink service is a major part of why people rate it so highly. If glasses are continuously topped up, that changes how “all-in” the ticket feels.

Where value can slip

• The menu can be fish/seafood heavy, and a few people were unhappy with specific dishes.
• A few diners say some courses didn’t match their taste, even while the show itself impressed.
• If the meal is the priority for you more than the performance, the price may feel harder to justify.

My take: if you go for the show first, the dinner is a bonus that usually lands well. If you go for the food first and you’re picky, do your homework with the vegetarian request process and be ready for the possibility that seafood shows up often.

Who should book the Scandal Dinner Show in Tenerife

This is a great fit if you want:

• An adult evening with humor and theatrical staging
• Live music and singing mixed into the performance
• A night out that feels more like a show at a theatre than a meal in a restaurant

It’s also a solid pick for celebrations. People describe bringing partners for birthdays and enjoying the atmosphere as something special and memorable.

Who should think twice:

• Families or anyone with kids under 16 (it’s not suitable)
• Anyone who strongly dislikes partially naked staging elements
• Anyone who hates fish/seafood, since the 5-course menu can lean that way
• Anyone who expects lots of English explanation on the mic (Spanish may dominate)

So, should you book this dinner show?

If you want a guaranteed night of entertainment, the Scandal Dinner Show is one of the easier “book once, enjoy all night” options in Tenerife. The combination of burlesque-style performances, live music, acrobatics, and a proper 5-course meal is built to fill the full 2.5 hours without dead time.

I’d book it if your priorities look like: you’ll enjoy a theatrical adult show, you’re okay with seafood appearing, and you don’t mind dressing up a bit. I’d skip it if seafood is a hard no, or if partial nudity staging would make you uncomfortable.

If you go, follow the rules on dress and don’t plan to film inside. The night works best when you treat it like a real performance.
