It was a great show!!! I love having dinner + show. Although it was a little pricy, it was worth it. There were a lot of Americans in the table which made it fun. read more

I spent over a week staying next door to the Moulin Rouge and I'm just so disappointed. I grew up in awe of this venue, Moulin Rouge was my favorite movie as a teenager, and I thought it would be so cool. I was warned that the exterior leaves a lot to be desired, and honestly that's an understatement. There's a restaurant based on the Moulin Rouge a few blocks away that is much more beautiful. But even the lobby and everything else about the venue is just overhyped and comes off as a cheap Vegas show (for expensive Vegas prices). But the most disappointing aspect is that they still use live animals in their shows. This isn't necessary for any venue, and even less for a venue like the Moulin Rouge. I genuinely can't support a venue that engages in live animal shows. It's time for the Moulin Rouge to strip back and be the pure cabaret they should be instead of resting on their name. read more

Tourist Trap ! But Thats Exactly What We Was Looking For ! Topless Women And Thongs I Did Not Expect (Bonus Points) But It Was Tasteful Kind Of Like An Adult Ringling Bros W/ Music Food Sucked Not Edible At All .......

This was the best part of my Paris vacation! The show was absolutely amazing, entertaining, and longer than I thought it would be! If you're not one to see topless ladies, then this show is not for you, but who are we kidding everybody enjoys that! The service was great all the seats we're good for the show and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is in Paris nearby as a must-see! read more

Amazing show, a little cramped but a great experience! We weren't able to order the dinner ticket but I would advise to still arrive early.

I would highly recommend. I live in NYC and we are pretty spoiled by Broadway shows here. After reading some very nasty reviews I was very pessimistic but really wanted to see the show since it's kind of MUST if you in Paris. There was no line to get in, I mean I bought tickets in advance and picked them at the ticket office/ right next to the entrance. We did not have assigned seats, but the service person was extremely nice and gave us some options. Oh well, we had kids with us, so we did not want to seat the first row, but we got seated on the balcony. The view was great! We got two bottles of Champagne since we had four tickets because children's tickets cost same money is adults and we just got a Coca-Cola for kids. The show was well organized beautiful costumes amazing, choreography and production were out of the world. It is great experience!!! read more

Beyond tacky, this show is a garish nightmare vision of 1960's and 1970's era variety shows and circus acts. Despite the titties, the show was bereft of romance, class, or eroticism. This felt more like I was in a low-budget gay club in Las Vegas 40 years ago, than like I was in the legendary Moulin Rouge in Paris. I felt embarassed for the performers, who were genuinely talented. They deserve better. The clown segment was horrific and the entire show so deeply out of touch and dated that I would have laughed had I not spent more than 200€ on the night. If you're searching for the romantic, sexy, dark, and playful vision in Baz Luhrman's film, please spare yourself. If you've ever seen Cirque du Soleil, you will be bitterly disappointed by the Moulin Rouge's culturally-impoverished, low-grade, low-effort, atrocity of a show. read more

It's so sad to see that they have destroyed the Moulin Rouge. My husband and I went about 13 years ago and it was wonderful. Exactly what you would expect. Historical building, great show, very romantic. Just went again this past week and they have ruined the building and definitely destroyed the show. The building has been completely remodeled and updated and did not keep much that was original. It's cheesy and cheap looking now. The show! Oh my goodness!!!! It's a terrible, tacky, Vegas show from the 70's! Seriously...it was terrible. I cannot stress how bad it was. The couple sitting in front of us at our table actually left early! I saw another couple leave early also. I considered it...it was so bad you honestly didn't even want to have to finish it. I was so disappointed. I'm so sad they've not tried to keep the charm and romance and history and went full blown tacky, off the strip, old Vegas. read more

We had so much fun this show was very entertaining Everything was on point worth the money I was sooo amazed at the performances. Lights dazzling everywhere read more

Restaurant service and food were horrible. This was our 20th wedding anniversary and I wanted a photo to commemorate this but our waiter got very angry and said no photos were allowed and our table was in a corner facing away from everything . Our table had rolls of bread on bread plates. Our waiter took our bread plates and rolled our rolls onto the napkins. What restaurant does this?!! For dinner you get a choice between 2 appetizers , entrees and dessert s. Another couple was dining with us. When he inquired how the pâté was instead of answering him our waiter told him to order the other option. Each couple is entitled to a bottle of champagne. A busboy opened our first bottle but we had to open the second ourselves. We asked for water 3 times we finally got it after our meal was finished. You can just purchase tickets to the show which I highly recommend but do not dine here unless you want to spend 200 euros per couple for dinner for bland food and insulting service. This review is for the restaurant only not the show which was fine read more

The best burlesque show I have ever seen in my life. The costumes were stunning and so colorful. I loved the act with the mini horses. This was extremely entertaining show best I've been too. In good taste as well. The snake act was awesome. Also the in between acts were great. Roller skating couple were bad ass. Also the ping pong guy was hilarious. I would highly recommend booking this show it is a must see once in a lifetime opportunity. read more

My wife has always wanted to go here and see the cabaret show, so we ordered tickets when we knew were going to be in Paris. The tickets were not cheap: roughly 300 Euros a piece and the place is not in the best part of town. If you go there during the day, you'll be fine. However, just beware that this is an area for pick-pockets and their kind. The actual venue is very well kept and they take great pride in keeping their reputation solid. The seating arrangements are somewhat odd in that they may seat you at one long table with 7-8 other people. I can understand this as they are trying to fit as many people into the auditorium as possible. Do not show up in jeans and a t-shirt as this place expects you to come well dressed. The meal was terrible and barely edible. I think we ordered the veal and it tasted more like mystery meat than anything. However, no one comes to the Moulin Rouge for the food, though, right? As for the show? Unbelievable. While the dancers are, at times, topless, it is done with class and pomp. The numerous performances are well choreographed and very colorful. Basically, the show was worth the price of admission alone. I strongly recommend going, if only for the actual show! read more

not west end or broadway theater. more like a cheesy low budget production. lots of nude boobies. and I mean lots. lip syncing is so bad. yes, they try to fool you with some of the leads wearing mics they have no mic packs and you can tell they aren't singing. they pack you into a tiny space. if you are larger or taller just don't go. you'll hate it. 6 to a table. our table sucked. no one fun. what a bummer. the entire thing was horrible. read more

My wife and her friends are dance teachers, so when it was decided we were going to Paris they absolutely wanted to visit the Moulin Rouge. I enjoy dance as well, and am a fan of the Baz Luhrman film so was more than happy to check it out. It wasn't going to be a cheap excursion, but since we normally take in a lot of theatre when we're in New York we were willing to spend a little bit of money knowing we wouldn't be going to as much theatre on this trip. Needless to say, we are glad we did, as it was a night we'll never forget. The building itself is a sight to behold; there's just something so amazing about that iconic red windmill all lit at night. Once you enter the theatre you feel as though you are being transported back in time. You can feel the history around you, and the red lights and little details make it a truly unique place. As for the show itself, it can best be described as mid-90s Cruise entertainment, but with a lot more boobs. Yes, despite the video previews online there is nudity here so maybe not the best place for kids. The dancing itself is incredibly cheesy, but in a such a fun charming way that we didn't mind (the two bottles of free champagne might have helped). The highlights though were the cabaret acts in between the dance sequences. From stunt roller-skaters, to comedy juggling acts, we were blown away by the talent on display that night. Oh, and about that champagne, we each got half a bottle, which meant two bottles for the four of us. It was more than enough, and it's a good thing too since wine/food costs are astronomical (they're making a lot on that mark-up let me tell you). They'll also offer to sell you photos of you and your table, which the other couple at our table took advantage of (I can only imagine how much it cost!) If I'm honest, the show itself was probably not worth the price (80+ Euros) but we had such a fun time, and made some great memories that in the end none of us regretted spending the money. That said, there are other shows in the city that are probably better, and less expensive, but hey! We can now say we've been to the Moulin Rouge! And we'll never be able to get those cheesy songs out of our head! "Dance dance, Paris dance!" read more

It was a very good show. The line to go in is crazy but don't worry about getting in fast. Your tickets are already selected so it doesn't matter first come or first serve. The show is a Paris them not moulin rouge the movie. It's similar to a Vegas show. They have a lot of cool parts to it the people are very talented. The tables are very small so it's hard to get in and out. No filming allowed or pictures read more

Best show I have ever attended! We opted for the dinner and show combination which turned out to be fortuitous because you get better seating that way when the actual show starts and the non-diner attendees come in and join your table. The dinner itself was excellent too. I won't ruin the surprises for you but do yourself a favor and splurge on this ticket as its well worth it. P.S. Don't be a rube. Dress for the occasion. It's a fancy show so dress fancy. read more

The Moulin Rouge is situated in a seedy Red Light area of Paris (Aren't they all). We only really visited it just so we could say that we had been there! Tickets prices for shows were very very expensive (Starting at 95 Euros) so we gave that a miss! More time and more money and we may have given it a try - maybe next time! read more

My boyfriend took me on a suprise trip to Paris last Valentine's Day and a late show at the Moulin Rouge was the highlight of the trip!! I had wanted to go ever since watching the film Moulin Rouge. I began reading about it online and really wanted to go. We went to the 11:30pm show, seats were based on first come first serve and we were advised to get there about an hour early to get good seats. Unfortunately this meant queueing for about 2 and a half hours to get seated and the weather wasn't very warm to say the least but to be honest I was so excited at the thought of seeing a show that it didn't bother me to much. As soon as I walked down the steps in to main room where the show takes place I was pleasently suprised. I felt that despite the rooms size it's pretty intimate and the decor is fabulous - you feel as though you've stepped back in time!! We were very lucky to be seated about 8ft from the stage, after we were seated and got aquainted with the others at our table we were served with a bottle of champagne which is included in the price of the ticket. The show itself was breathtaking, both myself and my boyfriend didn't know what to expect (he didn't even think that he would like it) but both of us were stunned throughout the show!! I won't say anything about the show itself as it runs for years & years and don't want to ruin it for anyone who is thinking of going! Overall it's quite pricey but the experience of being there is AMAZING and one that you will probably only experience once in your life!! read more

An expensive tourist trap. For the price I would have expected more. The building is run down and in need of some updates.

I absolutely LOOOOOooove this place while I'm in Paris. I never get bored of it. Probably because I'm the creative type and design. I can't get over the delicious costumes and the head-dresses are LIFE! Needless to say the show is amazing as well as the choreography. The dancers are half naked but it's done in a tasteful non vulgar way. The food is good but not great, but that's just my opinion. If you are in the city of lights don't pass up the chance to come to the Rouge. It's an experience you will never forget read more

I feel every visitor to Paris should attend a Moulin Rouge performance. The tickets are expensive, but one can reduce the cost by purchasing show only tickets (without dinner) and dining elsewhere such as Le Petit Canard nearby. This is live cabaret - not Cirque du Soleil nor the Hollywood movie with same name. Lots of beautiful women with fantastic bodies wearing elaborate costumes dancing high energy routines dominate the evening. Unless you are specifically looking at breasts as most men do, one does not notice they are topless. It's a fun show to watch while drinking good French champagne. read more

Moulin Rouge - Cabaret Near Me - Paris, 75

This was bad. So bad I fell asleep. The dancers, the costumes, the choreography is just plain awful. There is no storyline. It went from one misguided theme to another. The tickets are pretty expensive you would think they are actually investing some kind of money on the talent or the show itself. It was 1 hour and 40 minutes of torture. I kept wondering when it would end. Please spare yourself and do something else with your money in Paris. read more

It is a very exciting place when viewed from the outside. We did not eat, but were sold a 10€ bottle of champagne for 90€. The dancing was horrible. Worse than a high school musical, especially the male dancers. The nudity was simply gratuitous. Save your money, Paris has so much better to offer. read more

Magnifique spectacle, très poétique, et d'une durée assez longue. Nous avions des tickets pour 23h et le show a démarré avec une heure de retard, donc ne pas prévoir d'activités tôt le lendemain. read more

I agree with all of the reviews, both good and bad. The good- - worth the price for a meal, entertainment while you eat, and the show - beautiful, historical venue - fantastic acts (roller skating had us in awe) - definite evening out - local and easy to get to (we took an Uber but metro would be appropriate) - dancers smiled the whole time The bad - lip syncing and uncoordinated - crowed. But typical for Paris - animals did look sad. Horses were unnecessary in my opinion but snakes were really neat - not attentive service but again that's typical for Paris. I would say if you are hesitant, and you are fine with the cons, do yourself a favor and go. read more

Really nice show, it's definitely a must see ! Adults only, however. They offer you two drinks each or a bottle of champagne with the entrance price. The colors of the show are beautiful and there's acrobatics which were phenomenal. We liked the single performances a lot more than the group dances. Also, we did not like them using animals such as snakes and ponies in the performance. It's unnecessary and it stresses the animals out. I would recommend more practice and synchrony for the dancers because some dancers were out of synch ! read more

Waste of time and money. Do not believe the hype of this place. Overpriced, bad food, cheap wine, and rude waiters. They pack you in there like sardines and rush you through the meal. The pre-show is cheesy. The place was so bad that my date and I walked out before the actual cabaret show began. We wasted so much money, we didn't want to keep wasting our time. This place is a tourist trap, and they know it. Spare yourself and find another expensive dinner somewhere else. read more

The worst show I ever seen. The show was all over the place. Bizarre when they had to use a line of cute lil ponies marching up on the stage. There is no narration or story line whatsoever. One minute you feel like you are watching a high school soap opera and the next thing you know you are watching bunch of clowns jumping and hopping round the stage. Poorly distasteful that we had to leave even before it was finished. Felt so cheated out of our monies and had wasted 3 hours of our lives that we would never get back. Should have spent our time better somewhere else when the time we had in Paris was so limited. Oh yeah...they all lips synced too...yup that's right. Totally worthless. read more

We spent 3 action-packed days in Paris, trying to squeeze in as much as we could. Moulin Rouge was a last-minute add, and I am so happy we found time for it! The show is incredible. I've literally never seen anything like it before, the theatrics and performances are really above and beyond. The venue is stunning and by the end of the show, I was really quite sad to leave. Do not miss this! read more

Came here with a group and I didn't know what to expect exactly but it was a pretty amazing show. The venue was nice and loved the theme and costume changes. First you have dinner, desert, wine and champagne...... All while a band plays on stage. I loved the dances and acrobats going on and they even had some sort of comedy show and it was really good. The show itself was pretty on point. I enjoyed the whole show and the food was not bad as well. I had the steak and it was very juicy and tasty! Will definitely come back when in Paris! Was worth every penny. read more

You're in Paris .... So, u must catch a cabaret show. We attended the Moulin Rouge dinner & show. Dinner - Surprisingly good ... Wine, bread, shrimp appetizer, salmon entree, & dessert. Show - Totally 70's... Imagine the Sonny & Cher show, lol I had a 3 Star experience! read more

I visited the Moulin Rouge during my most recent trip to Paris. We skipped dinner and opted for the beverage only option. The reviews lead me to believe we made a wise choice. We loved the show, and I consider it a must-see while in France. The Good: - Humor, entertainment and a few surprises - Enough booze to ensure you have a good time - Beautiful photo ops in front of the theater - Very French. Wait, what? I know a lot of people say that this is a tourist trap... and it is. However, it is at the same time a uniquely French experience. The Bad: - Very tight seating. In the US I'm sure the fire marshal would have closed the joint. In fact, I would venture to suggest that a very overweight person might not enjoy this show at all. - Pricey. But hey, it's the Moulin Rouge! Note: Cab drivers are swarming after the show, so don't worry about transportation at all. read more

I went on a Eurotrip this past summer and of course Moulin Rouge was on the "places to go" list. There was 8 of us that came to the show. We got there early so that we could get a good seat. I would HIGHLY recommend getting there early. The line was long when we got there an hour before the show started. We finally got in and they sat us near the front and started bringing the champagne. Don't even think about taking pictures inside. The servers will yell at you. But we just pretended like dumb tourists and continued to take pictures of us sipping our bubbly. The show started. I was a bit nervous since I've never been to a "topless show" it was pleasantly classy. The beads were just enough sexiness to not make it trampy. Those French sure do have some nice ta-tas. I liked the performance, they had a lot of acrobatic stuff that I wasn't expecting. Even though it's expensive you should definitely come for a "been there done that" type of ordeal. The only cons I have is: 1. There is no snack bar. Half way through the show I could literally feel my body eating its own fat. I was a starving s.o.b. 2. The dancers beads make a lot of noise. I could hear the beads moving around and such. 3. Be careful at night once the show is out. I've never seen so many drunk people at night. It definitely is not a tourist place at night. read more

Nudity. That one word pretty much sums up the Moulin Rouge experience. In deciding whether you want to go, then, you have to ask yourself whether you want to visit what's essentially a strip club for rich people. If you do, then it's admittedly an enjoyable experience. Perhaps due to boob-induced amnesia, I forget exactly what I ate, but I do recall it being quite tasty. My only complaint is that the provided champagne ran out too soon! As for the show... well, it showed something. Mostly breasts. And snakes at one point. (No, that's not a euphemism.) All to a soundtrack that sounded like it was stuck in the land of corny 80s power ballads. Which also kind of fits my mental image of a strip club. (Honestly, I've never been to one.) Another thing that bugged me: as much I appreciate female nudity as any other straight guy, and think that *in some cases* nudity can be artistic and not just objectifying, I think the show is still a little sexist in so far as it was clearly meant for the male gaze and not equal opportunity. I'm not necessarily saying there need to be twirling dongs everywhere, but it wasn't until the last act that guys started appearing on stage "topless." Summary: Good food, fun night. Thongs but no dongs. read more

Food was horrible, the show was worse than a $15 Las Vegas Flamingo show. When you ask for water the only option is Evian for 5 euros. The waiter kept bumping my head to reach across the table to get my husbands plates. It's a Paris landmark but I do not recommend it at all. read more

I am a huge fan of Broadway shows, musicals, and most stage performances. On my last trip to Paris we decided to finally go see Moulin Rouge on our final night. Considering we were mostly living off of the hotel buffet and buying baguettes & wine throughout the trip we decided to splurge and have dinner here before the show. I think they have 3 pre-fixed menus. The difference between the show only and the show + dinner option we selected was about $60 USD per person. Not too bad since it included a half bottle of champagne! We used Viator to purchase our tickets and didn't run into any problems. We got to the venue early and queued up in the already formed long line. Once they started letting people in the process was very quick. We checked in our coats and were escorted to our seats. The venue is absolutely beautiful, dimly lit, very historical, and just fits with the theme of the show. I was so happy that we had opted for dinner because our seats were right up close to the stage (second row). Service was excellent and we had the table (ours seated 6) to ourselves for dinner as the others were going to be there just for the show - awesome! The food itself wasn't amazing but comparable to what I have eaten (taste & portion size) at many other fine dining restaurants. Going in I had assumed I wouldn't be getting "bang for my buck" as far as the food was concerned. It is just more about having eaten at Moulin Rouge vs what you actually ate... Don't get confused by the "half bottle" of champagne - you are not sharing but you end up with a half bottle each of excellent champagne. Since we finished our bottle prior to the show starting we decided to purchase one bottle to enjoy during the show. Yes, we got tipsy but not like we were driving :) And enjoy we did! Yes, parts of the act and costumes are outdated but I won't try to compare it to a show in Vegas or off-Broadway. I just can't compare a show that has been around for such a long time to one that is more relatively new in comparison. For me, just the experience of now having been to Moulin Rouge was worth it. Overall, a memorable way to spend my last night in Paris. read more
