Sala Scala Gran Canaria Dinner Show
Sala Scala Gran Canaria turns dinner into a full evening of theatre, with Canarian food arriving as the stage brings together dance, singers, technology, and stories tied to the islands. The show is designed as a 360-degree experience, so the action is not meant to stay in one small spot.
I like two things right away: the menu is created by Canarian chef Andrés Rodriguez, and the production gives you more than a standard meal with background music. The price of $111.31 is reasonable if you want dinner and a major evening performance in one booking. One point to consider is that the show may include nontraditional, sex-oriented performances, which will not suit every family or audience member.
Key points at a glance

- Three hours of dinner and theatre: Plan this as your main evening activity, not a quick meal.
- Canarian menu by Andrés Rodriguez: Seasonal local products are used in a tasting menu designed to match the performance.
- A broad stage concept: Dance, singers, technology, and Canary Islands culture work together around the audience.
- Wednesday to Sunday at 6 p.m.: The fixed schedule makes it easy to plan, but you have fewer date choices than with a daily attraction.
- Good score for a dinner show: The experience holds a 4.7 rating from 212 ratings, with 91 percent recommending it.
- Check the tone before booking: Some material may be adult in nature, so this is not an automatic choice for every family.
A Canarian evening built around the stage

Sala Scala Gran Canaria is best understood as a theatre production that happens to include dinner, rather than a restaurant that happens to offer entertainment. The central idea is an all-around presentation inspired by the artistic and cultural heritage of the Canary Islands.
That format matters. You are not simply sitting down for a plate of food while musicians perform at the front of the room. Dance, singing, visual technology, and food are intended to work as parts of one evening. I like this approach because it gives the night a clear sense of occasion, especially if you are looking for something beyond the usual resort dinner.
The production uses a cast of world-class artists, although the available details do not name the individual performers. That means you should book this for the overall production rather than for a particular singer or dancer. The chef is named: Andrés Rodriguez, who created the tasting menu around seasonal products from the Canary Islands.
The cultural angle is important. Many holiday evenings in Gran Canaria can blur into hotel meals and familiar entertainment. This show makes a clear effort to put local identity at the center, using Canarian cuisine and island heritage as the basis for the evening.

What happens during the three-hour visit

The total experience lasts about three hours. You will spend that time in the Sala Scala venue, with dinner served as the performance develops.
The stage program combines dance, singers, technology, and theatrical presentation. The exact running order and number of courses are not provided, so I would not promise a particular sequence of dishes or acts. The useful thing to know is that the dinner is not presented as a separate restaurant reservation followed by a show. Food and performance are planned as one combined event.
The description calls the format a 360-degree experience. In practical terms, that suggests you should pay attention to more than the main stage area. The show aims to surround the audience with visual and artistic elements, rather than asking you to watch one fixed point for the entire night.
For you, the main benefit is convenience. One ticket covers the admission and the dinner show, so you do not need to arrange a separate meal before or after the performance. The possible downside is that a theatrical dinner moves at the pace of the production. If you prefer to eat quickly, choose every course yourself, or spend a quiet evening talking across the table, this may feel less relaxed.
The tasting menu and Andrés Rodriguez’s local focus

Food is a major part of the reason to consider this outing. The menu is a tasting menu created by Canarian chef Andrés Rodriguez, with seasonal products from the islands. The stated aim is to celebrate local cooking while matching the stage production.
I like that the food has a clear regional purpose. A dinner show can easily serve a generic menu designed only to feed a large audience. Here, the food is presented as part of the Canary Islands story. That gives the meal more meaning and makes the price easier to assess than if you were paying only for a seat and a plate of standard event food.
At the same time, the available information does not list the courses, portion sizes, drinks, or options for dietary needs. You should not book this expecting to select from a full restaurant menu. It is a set tasting experience, and the seasonal approach means the dishes may change.
The food has been a strong part of the evening for many people. Specific praise centers on the quality of the meal, with one family party especially pleased by both the food and the show. Another diner described the dishes as exciting and the meal as a good match for the dance and singers.
If food is your top priority, keep your expectations sensible. A tasting menu at a performance venue is about variety and presentation, not necessarily a long, leisurely restaurant meal. If you enjoy trying several local preparations and letting the kitchen set the course, this format should suit you well.
The show’s strengths, and its adult tone

The production has earned a 4.7 rating from 212 ratings, and 91 percent of people recommend it. Those figures point to a consistently well-liked night out, though they do not mean every part of the program will suit every person.
The most praised features are clear: the show itself, the quality of the food, the singers, and the dancing. One pair attending together described the performance as very well done and highlighted the combination of interesting dishes, dance, and impressive vocal performances. Another audience member considered the production among the best shows they had seen and also gave the food top marks.
There is one important warning. At least one response describes the presence of nontraditional, sex-oriented performances and found that material unsuitable for some people. The venue acknowledged the concern but did not provide a detailed content guide.
I would take this seriously when planning a family night. A 16-year-old attended one party and enjoyed the evening, but that does not mean every parent will be comfortable with every scene. If you are booking for children, teenagers, or a mixed-age group, ask the provider about the current program before paying. The show is not presented as a strictly traditional folklore performance.
That point also helps explain the production’s style. You can expect more than a straightforward display of regional dance. The show blends cultural themes with modern staging and theatrical material. Some people will find that fresh and exciting. Others may prefer a more conventional presentation of Canarian music and traditions.

Is $111.31 good value?

At $111.31 per person, this is not a budget dinner. But it is also not just the price of a meal. You are paying for a roughly three-hour evening that combines a tasting menu, a purpose-built production, live artists, venue admission, and stage technology.
I would judge the price against what you want from the night. If you would otherwise pay for a quality dinner and a separate performance, the combined format can make sense. It also saves you the trouble of arranging transport between two evening stops and deciding where to eat after a show.
The value is weaker if you mainly want a cheap introduction to Canarian food. You may find simpler local meals for far less. It is also less attractive if you care little about theatre, singers, or dance. The ticket makes the most sense for someone who wants a planned night out with food and entertainment bundled together.
The high rating suggests that the package works for many people. Still, ratings cannot tell you if the menu will fit your tastes or if the adult material will be comfortable for your group. Those are the two questions I would settle before treating the price as good value.
Choosing your date and planning the evening

Performances are scheduled from Wednesday through Sunday at 6 p.m. That early evening start gives you a useful rhythm: you can spend the afternoon elsewhere and make the show your main nighttime plan.
The fixed start time is also a limitation. There are no listed Monday or Tuesday performances, and the supplied details do not show alternate start times. Check the date carefully before booking, especially if you are fitting this around a flight, a transfer, or another fixed reservation.
The experience is often booked around 10 days in advance. I would use that as a planning signal rather than a rule. If your visit falls during a busy period, reserving ahead is sensible because you have only five performance days each week and the ticket cannot be refunded or changed.
A mobile ticket is provided, which keeps the entry process simple. Confirmation is issued when you book. The venue is near public transportation, so you have a practical option if you do not want to drive or arrange a taxi.
One unusual booking problem has been reported: a party arrived through a booking app and was not initially on the admission list. Because the performance was not sold out, the venue placed them in VIP seating instead. That worked out well for them, but you should not count on a complimentary upgrade. Keep your confirmation handy and allow a little time at arrival in case staff need to check your reservation.
Who will enjoy Sala Scala most

I would recommend this for couples, friends, and families with older teenagers who want one organized evening rather than separate dinner and entertainment plans. It also suits first-time visitors who want an introduction to local food and island culture in a polished setting.
The format is particularly useful if you like:
- Set menus with several tasting portions
- Live dance and singing
- Modern stage technology
- A strong cultural theme
- A full evening activity with a clear start and finish
I would be more cautious if you want a quiet meal, a fully traditional folklore presentation, or complete control over what appears on stage. The adult-themed material is the biggest reason to check the current content before booking.
Most people can participate, and the venue is near public transportation. No special physical requirements are listed, but the experience lasts about three hours, so anyone who finds long seated performances tiring should plan accordingly.
Booking, cancellation, and small practical details

This ticket is non-refundable and cannot be changed for any reason. That makes date selection especially important. Do not book until you are confident that Wednesday through Sunday at 6 p.m. fits your plans.
The only stated exception is a cancellation caused by the experience not reaching its minimum number of participants. In that case, you will be offered another date or experience, or receive a full refund.
Because the meal is seasonal, the menu may vary. The published information does not specify drink inclusions, dietary substitutions, table arrangements, or the exact seating layout. If any of those details matter to you, contact Sala Scala before purchasing rather than assuming they are included.
I would also confirm the current performance tone if you are bringing anyone under 18. One 16-year-old enjoyed the show, but the reported adult content means the decision depends on your own comfort level.
Should you book this dinner show?
Book Sala Scala Gran Canaria if you want a polished evening combining Canarian food, dance, singers, technology, and theatre. The strongest reasons are the regional menu by Andrés Rodriguez, the three-hour format, and the consistent praise for both the meal and production.
Think twice if you want a low-cost dinner, a quiet restaurant, or a strictly family-friendly folk show. The $111.31 price is fair for a combined dinner and stage event, but only if you value both parts. Before committing, confirm the adult content and make sure you can attend on a Wednesday through Sunday at 6 p.m.
For the right audience, this is a convenient way to make one evening in Gran Canaria feel like a proper event rather than another meal at the hotel.
