Planning an evening in Tenerife that blends entertainment, local cuisine, and a touch of glamour? The Scandal Dinner Show at the GF Victoria Hotel offers an intriguing mix of burlesque performances and gourmet dining, promising a night that appeals to travelers craving something different. Our review draws from hundreds of genuine reviews to help you decide if this experience is worth your time and money.
We’re drawn to the high-energy performances and the quality of the food, both of which receive rave reviews. The show’s mix of sensual dance, comedy, and live music creates an engaging atmosphere, while the five-course meal promises a taste of local flavors. However, it’s worth noting that the experience is adult-oriented and not suitable for children, which might influence your decision if you’re traveling with family.
One consideration to keep in mind is that the menu is seafood-heavy and not pre-published — so if you’re vegetarian, vegan, or dislike seafood, requesting special options at least a day in advance is advised. Also, as the show takes place in a sophisticated setting, casual or beachwear is not permitted, which might be a surprise for some. This experience is best suited for couples, groups celebrating a special occasion, or adults looking for a lively, chic night out.

An Authentic Night Out in Tenerife: What You Can Expect
The Venue and Atmosphere
The Scandal Dinner Show takes place in the stylish Las Olas hall at the GF Victoria Hotel, a hotel known for its luxury and attention to detail. We loved the way the dim lighting and sophisticated decor set an intimate, slightly theatrical tone right from the start. The venue’s ambiance is one of understated elegance, perfect for an evening of adult entertainment where sensuality and humor mingle.
The Show: Burlesque with a Modern Spin
Prepare for a spectacle of vibrant costumes—from lavish to sparkly—paired with acts that blend the classic burlesque with contemporary flair. The performers display a range of talents, including singing, dancing, and gymnastics, often with a sensual or humorous edge. Many reviewers describe the acts as “entertaining,” “professional,” and “talented,” with some calling particular performances “standout” moments.
From the Reviews
One guest enthused, “Great food, excellent show with a couple of standout acrobatic performances,” highlighting the mix of visual spectacle and culinary delight. Others noted how the entertainment was engaging enough to keep the audience captivated throughout the 2.5-hour duration.
The Food: Five Courses of Local Flavors
The menu is designed to complement the evening’s entertainment. Guests can choose between regular and vegetarian options, with the emphasis on seafood dishes—a fact mentioned frequently in reviews as a highlight, although some guests note the dishes can be seafood-heavy without a published menu beforehand. The courses are served at a comfortable pace, with the timing well-organized so that your dinner doesn’t interfere with the flow of the show.
Drinks and Hospitality
The ticket includes a welcome drink, and during the performance, guests can enjoy an unlimited flow of drinks, including wine and possibly other beverages, which adds a relaxed, celebratory tone. Reviewers praise the attentive staff for their professionalism and friendliness, which elevates the entire experience.
Dress Code and Practical Tips
Guests are advised to dress elegant-casual, with long pants required for men. Wear beachwear, flip-flops, or sportswear, and entry will be refused. No cameras or flash photography are allowed during the show, but photos with performers afterward are permitted, which many guests enjoy.
Timing and Group Size
The activity lasts approximately 2.5 hours, with starting times varying. It’s suitable for small groups or couples, and the venue can accommodate a variety of party sizes comfortably. Since the experience does not include hotel pickup or drop-off, plan your transportation in advance.

Is It Worth the Price?
Considering the combination of a 5-course meal, unlimited drinks, and a lively burlesque show, many reviews suggest the experience offers good value. One guest pointed out, “Not cheap but well worth the money,” especially for those celebrating a special night out. The quality of performances and food, coupled with the elegant setting, makes it a memorable way to spend an evening.
The all-inclusive drinks and the professional nature of the show contribute to the perception of value. However, the seafood-heavy menu and dress code are factors to keep in mind. The experience is clearly geared towards adults seeking a glamorous, slightly risqué night with plenty of entertainment and good food.
Who Will Love This Experience?
If you’re seeking an adult-oriented performance that combines live entertainment with a gourmet meal, this is a strong choice. It’s perfect for romantic couples, groups of friends celebrating, or anyone wanting a night of lively, sophisticated fun. It’s especially appealing if you enjoy cabaret, dance, and comedy, and are open to a sensual, energetic show.
Those who prefer casual, family-friendly activities should look elsewhere, as the show’s theme and dress code aren’t suitable for children. Also, if seafood isn’t your thing, be sure to request a vegetarian option well in advance.
