Sala Scala Gran Canaria Dinner Show
Sala Scala makes dinner part of the performance. You sit in a courtyard of seats as artists, dance and stage technology bring the Canary Islands’ history and culture to life, with a seasonal tasting menu served alongside the show.
I like two things in particular: the meal is designed by Canarian chef Andrés Rodriguez, and the format combines live performance with food rather than asking you to choose one for the evening. The three-hour length also gives the experience room to unfold.
One consideration: the show can include sex-oriented performances that may not suit every age or taste. If you are booking for a teenager or prefer traditional folk entertainment, check that this style of production feels right for your group.
- A show built around Canarian culture: Dance, music and technology draw on the islands’ history and artistic heritage.
- A seasonal tasting menu: Chef Andrés Rodriguez prepares a menu using seasonal products from the islands.
- Dinner and performance together: Food is served in the courtyard seating area as part of the evening.
- About three hours: Allow enough time for a full evening rather than a quick meal and a short stage act.
- Wednesday to Sunday at 18:00: Check the available date before making plans around the show.
- An adult-content caveat: Some performances may be sexual in nature, so consider your party’s comfort level.
A Canarian story told through food and performance

Sala Scala is not simply a meal with a show added on. The performance takes inspiration from the Canary Islands’ history and artistic and cultural heritage, while the food is also presented as a way to celebrate local gastronomy. That makes the evening a good fit if you want a planned night out that brings several parts of the islands’ culture together.
The production uses dance, technology and a cast of world-class artists. The details of individual acts are not specified, so I would not expect a particular style of dance or a fixed set list. Instead, think of it as a stage-led evening that combines several kinds of performance to tell a broader story.
The show’s advertised 360-degree concept suggests that the experience is meant to extend beyond a single point on stage. You sit in a courtyard of seats, with the meal and performance sharing the same setting. The exact layout and view can vary by seat, so a particular table should not be assumed unless it is confirmed when you book.
The experience has a strong local focus, but it is also designed as entertainment. If your priority is a quiet, traditional dinner, this is not that sort of night. You are there for a staged production, and the meal is part of the format rather than the sole reason to come.
What happens during the three-hour evening

The experience takes place at Sala Scala Gran Canaria, where your admission includes the dinner show. The advertised start time is 18:00, Wednesday through Sunday, and the full evening lasts about three hours. That gives you a substantial block of time for dinner and performance, so plan the rest of your day accordingly.
The show and meal are presented together in the courtyard seating area. Rather than arriving for a performance and then heading elsewhere to eat, you can expect the food to form part of the same evening. This is convenient, especially if you want one booking to cover both dinner and entertainment.
The performance draws on dance, technology and Canarian cultural themes. The use of stage technology points to a production that goes beyond a simple revue, though the exact effects and sequence are not described. You should expect a blend of visual and live elements, not a historical lecture or a tightly explained account of island history.
The tasting menu is designed by Canarian chef Andrés Rodriguez and uses seasonal products from the islands. That seasonal approach means the menu may change over time. No specific dishes, number of courses, dietary options or drinks are listed, so do not plan around a particular plate or assume that every dietary request can be met without checking first.
The meal has been a major part of the appeal for many people who rate the experience highly. Food is repeatedly praised as excellent, and one diner specifically liked the varied, interesting dishes. That is a promising sign if you want more than a show with a token dinner, though it is still wise to treat taste as personal and remember that the exact menu is not specified.

The menu: local produce in a show setting

Chef Andrés Rodriguez’s menu is described as a tasting menu built around seasonal Canarian products. This is a useful detail for anyone who wants the meal to reflect the place they are visiting. Instead of a generic dinner served beside a performance, the stated aim is to celebrate local gastronomy.
The word tasting suggests a sequence of dishes rather than one large main course, but the number and size of servings are not provided. If you are a light eater, a generous eater, or someone with dietary needs, you may want to confirm the menu details directly before booking. The information available does not specify vegetarian, vegan, allergy-friendly or other alternatives.
A few people particularly valued the food, describing it as excellent and one of the strongest parts of the night. That matters at this price: the evening is more persuasive as a combined dinner-and-show than as a ticket to a performance alone. If the menu is important to you, ask about current dishes rather than relying on a fixed expectation.
You are eating while the production unfolds, which creates a different rhythm from a standard restaurant dinner. The stage is part of the room, so attention moves between your table and the performance. That can be lively and memorable, but it may be less suited to a long, quiet conversation over dinner.
Choosing the show for your group

The entertainment is not guaranteed to be family-friendly. One attendee described a mix of traditional and sexual performances and felt that the latter would not suit everyone. The production team acknowledged the comment, but the available details do not explain exactly what those acts involve or how frequently they appear.
That makes it sensible to consider the make-up of your party before booking. A couple looking for an unusual evening out may be comfortable with a performance that includes adult themes. For families, the experience is less clear-cut: a 16-year-old attended with parents and enjoyed the evening, but that does not establish that the show is suitable for every child or teenager.
If you are booking for younger guests, ask the venue about the content before committing. The important point is not to assume that a show inspired by island culture will consist only of traditional dance or music. Its mix of art forms may include material that feels more adult or provocative.
The show has a strong overall audience response, with a 4.7 rating from 212 ratings and 91% recommending it. Those figures indicate broad appeal, but they do not erase the difference in taste that the adult-content note reveals. I would use them as a sign that many people find the evening worthwhile, not as a guarantee that every group will feel the same.
Is $111.31 good value?

At $111.31 per person, this is a premium night out rather than a bargain dinner. The value depends on whether you want both a staged production and a multi-course tasting-style meal in one outing. If you would otherwise pay separately for a substantial dinner and evening entertainment, the package may make sense.
The price is harder to justify if you mainly want a low-cost meal, or if the adult themes make you unsure about the show. You are paying for the combination: a performance featuring dance and technology, a Canarian food focus, and an evening that lasts about three hours. There is no separate price breakdown for the meal and show, so you cannot easily compare their individual value.
The best case for the cost is the kitchen’s emphasis on seasonal island products and the way the meal is woven into the production. The strongest praise tends to center on both the food and the show, rather than one carrying the other. Still, menu specifics are not supplied, so diners who judge value by exact dishes, portion sizes or included drinks should get those details before paying.
An average booking lead time of about 10 days is a useful planning clue. It does not guarantee availability at that point, but it suggests you should avoid leaving the decision until the last minute if you have a particular evening in mind.

Seating and booking details worth checking

The experience uses a courtyard of seats, and seating can shape your evening. One person described having what they considered one of the best tables, while another said a booking discrepancy led to an unexpected offer of VIP seating because the show was not sold out. That was a fortunate outcome, not something to count on.
The same account is a reminder to check that your booking confirmation is in order. The experience includes a mobile ticket and confirmation is issued at booking, but a booking was once missing from the venue’s guest list. Keep your confirmation handy and, if anything looks uncertain, contact the provider before the evening rather than relying on spare seats being available.
The show is near public transportation, which may help you plan how to get there. No specific route, stop or travel time is provided, so check your own route from where you are staying. The venue states that most people can participate, but details about accessibility are not provided; ask ahead if you need particular arrangements.
This experience is non-refundable and cannot be changed after booking. If the minimum number of participants is not met and the show is canceled, you will be offered another date or experience, or a full refund. That distinction matters: the stated refund option applies to a cancellation for not meeting the minimum, not to a change of your own plans.
Who will get the most from Sala Scala

I would consider Sala Scala if you want a planned evening that combines local food and live entertainment, and you are open to a production that is more theatrical than a conventional folk show. It is especially appealing if you enjoy sampling a chef’s seasonal menu and would rather have dinner and an activity handled in one place.
It can also suit a special occasion. The three-hour format gives the night a sense of occasion, and the combination of live artists, dance and stage technology offers more variety than a simple meal out. If you prefer calm dining or want to talk through dinner without competing with a performance, you may find the format less comfortable.
For families, the decision turns on the adult-content caveat. One family with a 16-year-old enjoyed the show, but the possible sexual material means you should check suitability rather than assume. For anyone who wants strictly traditional entertainment, this may not be the right match.
Before booking, make sure you are happy with the fixed date, the non-refundable terms, and the lack of detailed menu information. If those points work for you, Sala Scala offers a substantial evening centered on Canarian food and performance. If you are uncertain about the content or expecting a quiet dinner, choose another plan.
