Paris Moulin Rouge Cabaret Show and Dinner

Posted By : Odyssey68553732517
I went to the Moulin Rouge to celebrate my mums birthday, the show was beautiful and entertaining but unfortunately, the service ruined the experience before it started. We ordered water because its July and hot outside, this request was met with the server rolling their eyes at us because we were not ordering more expensive drinks (they asked us more than once if we were sure we didn't want any of their alcoholic drinks). They then asked us to pay before they even brought out the bottle, and when it did come, the server did not bother to open the bottle, nor serve us and once again, asked how we would like to pay. They then came back before the show started to ask us if we had a reservation (they'd seen and scanned our tickets about 3 different times before this point) and asked to see our tickets again despite being seated already - they did not ask anybody else around us, nor the ones on our table or in the nearby tables for this. Overall, great show but typical rude, and unwelcoming French experience by the servers that would not make me want to go back or recommend it to anyone.

Amazing show …full
Of skills ,colors and amazing performance. Better to line up early for the show to grab a good seat. Though it’s visible all throughout. We were amazed by the performances. But one thing though it allows 6 yrs and above parents should read about it before taking kids.

First, the actual Moulin Rouge show itself is spectacular and worth every single penny. That said, the pre show dinner and pre show I recommend one skip. The food was not good. This is Paris, I expect something edible. The entertainment, bless their hearts, was horrible. The male and female singer were so bad I was shocked. I would give the pre show dinner and show 1-2 stars. I would give the Moulin Rouge show 5 stars. I’ve settled in 4 stars but you figure out what’s worth seeing.

We booked this through our travel agent, and it was really one of the funniest parts of our trip. The dinner was better than we expected, and we had a half bottle of champagne. Nice people sitting around us as well. The show is pretty amazing. It is notable that it is topless, at least for the women. I’m not exactly sure what this adds to the quality of the show, but it is certainly a throwback from an earlier day. Still, lots of talent up there on this stage.

If you're looking for a contemporary take on a the romanticism of Parisian culture, then a visit to the Red Mill is worth your time.
Those expecting a pinnacle of fine art and expertly choreographed dances may be slightly disappointed, the entire show is a visual extravaganza with eye catching costumes and entertaining acts.
There are overtones of cobblestones and accordians of Paris of yore.
It's worth the time and expense!
TIPS:
Get the bundled champagne package
Travel: the Metro stops @ the Windmill! And is open after the late show on a Friday or Saturday

So, we did several cabarets and this one is out of proportion with the others. not cheesy, not porn, big means, quality: just an hour and a half fairy.
I had taken the total (with meals - it was Joce’s birthday) but I hesitated because of the comments indicating that the menu was not level and that we were crowded, etc.

it’s very good, very fine. maybe not at the price level, anyway (100 € per person extra), but what do we have today in a beautiful place in Paris for less than 50 € starter-dish-dessert? and above all, it allows us to be in the atmosphere of this magnificent room and this fabulous event for two more hours. there is an orchestra playing, it’s very nice, we can dance. the tables are very cramped, certainly, but it allows us to get to know our neighbors (unless we are a good ten and thus fill the whole table). we had beside us Australians from Brisbane and Americans from Los Angeles: it was very interesting to talk with them and share together this extraordinary moment.

the show: an avalanche of costumes, colors, (very) original choreographies, and the French cancan, revisited (I’m not a fan in general, but here, it’s unavoidable, and as soon as the first notes are heard, it’s riot!) very pretty smiling girls (they all have a white smile), beautiful boys with a slightly plastic face (real Kens), 3 excellent singers, not forgetting the interludes of an extraordinary technicality (we may even have for them – it’s high flight – if the dancers were slender, there, it’s all muscle).

and if, like me, you hesitate, tell yourself that such a reputation is not done on nothing.

Absolutely amazing unbelievable. To go to the moulin rouge has been on my bucket list for such a long time and I can tell you now it did not disappoint. My bf surprised me for my birthday. We went for the show and drinks package not the dining.
The show itself was unbelievable and breath taking. I was saying oh my god all the way through it was magical.
There is nudity. But after a while you do actually stop noticing I think us British are a tad pride so once you're over the shock of it it's such wonderful show it's done in a classy way. I loved every minute it was the perfect birthday present

We had a great time with family 👍😃. Welcome, meals and excellent show, in an exceptional setting. This is the second time, and we are still as amazed.

Packed in so we could not move, I cannot believe the theatre complies with safety standards, you could not walk to your table, you have to squeeze in through a small gap practically sitting on others tables to get to your seat. There were six to our table but all chairs could not fit around the table, we had to sit at an angle just to fit in. The theatre is old and faded. The male dancers were amateur, there were some excellent women. The whole thing is dated, the women strip in the first number to g strings and they bring out the men, you would expect them to strip too but no, they stay fully clothed. Pathetic, old fashioned, and just plain dated, do not waste your money. So over priced.

One off the bucket list & so glad we went. The building is so iconic. The food was lovely. How they serve so many people so quickly, and yet the food is piping hot and you still get a chance to rest between courses and chat to the waiters. You will be packed in (6 on a table that should really seat 4!!) but this just got us all talking and making friends. The food was lovely, well worth having & it also then gets you the front seats on that table. The gymnastic warm up acts were incredible...we found ourselves audibly gasping at the feats we were witnessing. The dancers and costumes were spectacular, and exceeded expectations. The dancers (male & female) are beautiful, so athletic, and with all the dances and costume changes, must work so hard to be as good as they are. Really appreciated how amazing they are. There is a souvenir stall inside, but as I wanted a few items like mugs etc, & didn't want them crushed under the table at dinner, we called there in the day on the way to Sacre Coeur, and went to the external souvenir shop just past the Moulin Rouge & right up the hill. I hadn't realised the actual windmill has either been decommissioned or is being refurbished, so there was a banner with a photo of it above the building where the windmill would be. I was gutted as I didn't know this, but just means I'll have to return again !!!!
