A fantastic experience inside, well worth the money you pay. However, the surrounding area at night is very sleazy - not for women out on their own. I was glad to have a big strong man to protect me from the pervy old men, icky. read more

As well produced as any Vegas show and a must see when in Paris. The. Food was fresh and delicious with a choice of two entrees. Because of the limited menu and high turnover expect a delicious and fresh meal. Not to be missed. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY Food was the worst we had experienced in Paris. Seating was cramped and we felt as if we were on a commuter train at peak hour. Service was also poor for the money paid. Yes it is the Moulin Rouge but you expect value for money. Show was poor read more

The Moulin Rouge is one of the most famous cabarets in the world and no trip to Paris is complete if you don't go. I've been there many, many times and I never get tired of it. However, there are some cautions when you buy tickets. First, if you buy a ticket for one of the tours that package a visit to the Eiffel Tower, a Seine cruise and a visit to the Moulin Rouge all in one, or are part of some other tour, be prepared to have the worst seats in the place. The large tours are all shoved together in seats in the rear...many with little view of the stage and almost impossible to get out of if you have to go to the bathroom, etc. Also, the tour customers usually get the worst service, mostly because the waiters can't even negotiate a way to many of the tables and their tips are minimal for the tour customers. My advice... purchase your tickets at the Moulin Rouge, not as a tour or online. Now, you will have a wonderful experience if you make a little more effort. First, go by the Moulin Rouge to make a reservation at the desk, either the day of the show or a day or two in advance if you want (the day of the show is best...but I always visit or call a number of days in advance to make sure of the ticket situation). You really can't reserve a specific seat, but you can leave your name and make a reservation...making sure the gal notes that you do not want to sit in the upper tiers or on the side. You will pay at the end of the performance when the waiter presents you with the bill. Also, make sure (subtly) when you arrive that you know how they allocate seats and remind them once again that you want a good seat. Remember the old adage, the squeaky wheel gets the grease (but do all of this with the greatest of care...if you are abrasive in any way, you'll get a crappy seat - guaranteed). The night of the show (the 11pm performance is best...the food at the earlier performances is not all that good anyway) you go to the desk, tell them you have a reservation and then wait to be seated. I have never tipped the fellow before being seated, but always secretly hand him 20 or 30 Euros when I'm seated (if the seats are good). Do not make a production of tipping for your seat... they don't like that! Now, why go to the Moulin Rouge? OK, I've seen every show in Vegas, I've been to the Lido and the Follies Bergere and the Moulin Rouge is a similar type of show... so why go? Because it's history. You walk in the footsteps of the great artists of the "Belle Époque", where the Can-Can became famous, and where some of the greatest stars of the last century have appeared. It is more that a show... it is a place where you can rub shoulders with the ghosts of Toulouse-Lautrec, Collette, Josephine Baker, Edith Piaf and hundreds of others. read more

I came here with my Trafalgar group and it blew my mind. I would definitely recommend the dinner and drinks option because the food was phenomenal, especially the chocolate mousse dessert. The amount of wine they served was perfect, and just enough to really help you enjoy the show. Yes, this is something tourists do, but I believe it really captured the true "Moulin Rouge" ambience that I had expected and more. Crazy stunts, flawless bodies, can-can dances, French stand-ups... What more could I ask for. Being on a travel group always got me tired by 6 pm, but there was always something spectacular going on during the show that my whole group was so pumped and excited after the show. This was an amazing experience, and probably one of the best parts of my trip. read more

Not what we excepted. Tacky show with no service. Wish we wouldn't have listen to our tripadvisory and get our money back.

I am here now and I want to stab myself ! Lol so touristy ! I'm glad we did it but to pay 400 dollars and be disappointed sucks ! Food was the worst I have had in Paris ! The waiters are rushed and slam plates down and snatch them up ! I'm pouring my own champagne ! There are so many people here packed in ! Also it's NOT handicap friendly ! They did their best but I don't think they grasped the handicap idea ... I have no idea how my husband will get out of here ! Also the pre show is all American songs !!!! Why come to Paris to hear a terrible rendition of Alicia keys ?? Go but at least have your standard low ! Like cruise to the Bahamas low ! read more

If there were a --star I would use that. We are loving Paris but DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON MOULIN ROUGE! This is like going to Disneyland in a nightmare - except the music and food, sound quality and choreography and dancing are much better at Disneyland. Spent beaucoup bucks on a reserved dinner ticket and still had to wait in long line and be herded in like cattle. Finally seated and the food was so-so - waiter insisted that we ordered beef not poisson, methinks not - vegetarians. Then the band struck up the first song - the sound man was on vacation or on drugs, bass and drums audible only. No melodies apparent, felt very bad for the pianist, flutist and singers. Then they started with the 70s American pop music and we had to leave until that was done - bah-dee-ah-dee-ah-dee-ah in a sort of screech. Came back in for the classic MR music revue and the first number there were dancers who had no clue what was going on; onward to the topless singing women, some of them were great; but the costume mishaps, uncooperative ponies; scared anacondas (yes, scared of being drowned by the swimmer); and lamely flying singers on wires. What a disappointment. I suggest you visit the theatre and take a picture of the famous "red windmill" and stroll the other interesting parts of Montmartre. read more

The show was outdated, it reminded me of cruise ship entertainment, in fact cruise ship shows were better. The neighborhood was creepy and the overall experience was cheesy. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. The food and service were terrible. During the meal we could not get the waiter to even open the bottles of wine that came with the meals. He was totally rude and we finally had to go find management just to get served. The food was very ordinary --beef with a canned sauce and cold soup. But my biggest disappointment was with the show. First sight lines are terrible. I was only able to see through a small opening in many heads in front of us and my husband at the end of the table could not see at all. The show is very mundane--most of it is just topless women with small breasts mouthing songs and wearing sparkly costumes. The ventriloquist was the best thing in the show. The famous can can was only one song in the whole show. Don't waste your money. read more

Waste of money and time. Got bored and sleepy! It's a slappy version of Vegas girls with little bit of cirque de soleil. Don't waste your money. read more

Not to be missed! Absolutely go with the dinner which is available in three variations. We opted for the highest price and it was well worth the extra expense. After all, how many chances will you have to experience this? The show was outstanding. Costumes were gorgeous and the lack of costumes was terrific as well. Do not take the Metro to get there. A taxi is much safer, quicker, and not very expensive. read more

I love the show, food, champagne and all. Had a great time got on stage....Loved every minute of it....going back for sure

My husband and I booked moulin rouge from Australia through Viators. The show was simply one of the worst experiences we have ever had. We opted for the wine and show package and had awful seats with a restricted view. The music and singing were all pre recorded and badly mimed. With the exception of some additional 'acts' the show was boring, repetitive and in fact my husband fell asleep. The wine was also inferior quality. Instead of cabaret it should be classified 'craparet'! Save your money for something more entertaining while in beautiful Paris. read more

We booked our tickets same day as the show so our seats were a bit to side of the stage but it wasnt bad. They seat you based on your purchase. Day. If you book dinner than you get seated ahead of everyone else and you are in seats as people arrive. We booked the champagne package but you can get red wine instead. $150 per person and it included a bottle of wine. The show was entertaining with a lot of costume changes. The feature acts were great. Soooo disappointed that they use ponnies. One of the black ones looked like he was struggling to walk. They had no purpose in the show so why put those animals through all that ? 2-3 shows per day so where do they keep them? Overall, good show to see while in Paris but using the ponies is animal cruelty. Stop using animals! read more

Very disappointed in the service for dinner. The waiters scoffed when our party of 11 came in to be seated in their section. Then the service lacked from there, the service was not acceptable. The waiter was very impatient taking the orders. Then those seated after our group, big and small groups received drinks and food before we did. We waited a total of 15mins minimum for our drinks finally came. At that point I asked the waiter why is it that we seem to be served last. He stated he did not understand so I asked for the manager, which happened to come the same time as our drinks. With that he seemed to see no issue with the service then gave a through out bs answer about others had pre-ordered which is not true since I saw him with my own eyes taking everyone's order. Then walked away without a sorry or anything. Not impressed, I go out to eat everynight and have eaten at numerous restaurants including Michelin star ones. I know service and this my dear was horrible service. I truly hope it was not a race thing but no matter what their is no excuse. Not to mention the food was undercooked and tastless. We left thinking what are we ordering to eat. The show was okay, just like Vegas so I could have saved myself money and a quick plane ride to see in Vegas. Do not go here don't waste the $200+ to attend. read more

this was an acceptable dance review with vaudville-type acts in between. the women were pencil-think (if you think that's attractive), the men ricky martin look-alikes (i had no idea how important the men's part was). expensive ($102 euros). you get used to sitting in close quarter in paris and i don't mind that, but the seating is sideways to the stage. a few of the costume changes were very nice, others average. "champagne", vinegary. read more

Totally disappointing outside of going to the show for the simple sake of going to the show... Maybe it was preconceived expectations but there were only about 10 minutes of the 90 minute show worth watching. I was expecting something classy, sexy and intriguing - I got dated, strange and wacky. If they updated the show, rid the miniature horses, snake pool (it was beyond obvious that both the horses and snakes wanted nothing to do with the show and continuously tried to escape the stage) and the clowns (seriously, clowns and topless women just don't mix) I think they could make a truly fantastic experience. Right now they are simply resting on the shear novelty of the place. read more

This show was definitely not worth the price. I am from Los Angeles and frequent Vegas and if you are used to a high quality production - please skip!! The dancing was not in synch and very simple choreography. They lip synched!!! I was very bored and almost left because it had no theme. They need a new Artistic Director and Choreographer (and practice!). They had one guy come out and Juggle? really? and clowns - yuck. The Bright spots were two things - the Roller skating couple was great (believe it or not)! And there was another couple who did an act with hoops. Only two highlights (and not even that high) but that was 15 minutes of a two hour show. Service was bad as well. I would not recommend this for the money. I was expecting a Quality cabaret and it felt more like a amateur recital. BAD!!!! read more

Spent a terrific evening with my wife at this legendary Paris institution. We only did drinks but the service was excellent and the champagne kept flowing --my glass never went dry! The variety of acts and quality of the performances were all top notch. Although it's considered "touristy", it's still a very fun time and I'd highly recommend a visit. read more

strolling around Paris and we ended up here...what an amazing night. intimate, classy, spectacular, sexy, fun, entertaining and wonderful!

Went tonight for a fantastic experience and show probably one of the best ever! Must go see right up there with Cirque de Soleil of USA. Very creative show something for everyone! Fantastic 10+ expensive but worth every Euro read more

Don't waste your money. If this is on your list you will be just as satisfied taking a picture from the outside. The inside is so run down and the quality of the show is comparable to a $30 dollar comedy shows in the US. read more

the tickets are very expensive(start around 100EUR), but i think for this show its okay. the service is friendly and the show is amazing. we had much fun. read more

Food: every major airline has MUCH better food in their business class section. Accommodations: impossibly cramped - like sardines. Service: C grade, at best. Impersonal. Spotty. Entertainment. there are many more elegant venues that offer better talent at a third or less the price. Overpriced by easily a factor of FOUR. read more

The show itself is okay. There's some neat acts and costumes but I found myself bored for some of the performances. The roller skating couple wowed me, the lady dancing in the water with live snakes wowed me. The rest wasn't too exciting. Seating for the show though is incredibly uncomfortable. They pack everyone in like sardines. There literally wasn't any room for me to get up from my seat to go to the bathroom because the person sitting at the table next to us was right behind me. It took both of our tables 10 minutes to leave because we had to juggle seats and climb over each other. The people who work there are TERRIBLE. I was visiting from the United States with my mom and grandmother. We didn't realize that seats were first come first serve so luckily we arrived early and waiting in a line outside for over an hour. This would have been fine, but my grandma is old and not in the best physical condition so she wasn't holding up well with all of the standing. Once they finally let us inside, we realized we had to stand for another 20 minutes before we would be given a seat. At this point, I went up to a staff member and asked him IN FRENCH if my grandma could sit down somewhere until we were let in for the show. We weren't asking for early seating, or better seating, I just wanted a chair for her because she is old and can't stand for 1 1/2 hours. I was told he would "go and check" and then I proceeded to watch him walk away and start goofing around with another staff member. He never came back to talk to me about the situation. So, I asked TWO DIFFERENT staff members the same thing again in French, and got BS responses from both of them as well. While I was speaking with the third person about it, I saw the staff member I asked the first time accompanying an elderly woman down the stairs to a seat. When they finally let us through into the tables, the staff member I asked the first time was taking tickets. When he saw me he said "sorry there was nothing I could do" which was clearly a lie because I watched him help someone else five minutes prior. Never once did I expect anything special from them. And not once did I expect them to cater to me or my family. I spoke to them in their language and was trying to help someone who is old as it is the right thing to do no matter what country you are from. I am absolutely disgusted by the way the staff here treated us. Even if we weren't treated this way, the show itself was decent at best. I will never go here again, nor will I ever recommend this place to anyone. read more

Don't bother. It is not a burlesque show and it is very cheesy at times. The costumes were beautiful and the skating act was wow. But the rest of the show was a yawn! read more

Ok, so my best friend and I went to experience what we thought would be something professional...this was based upon the amount of money we spent on tickets, and the historical narrative of the Moulin Rouge. It was so excruciatingly bad that we were laughing our heads off trying to keep quiet and hold back tears. God bless these performers for trying, but OH MY the choreography was atrocious... all the music and vocals were canned... there were roller skates, a water tank full of huge snakes and black lights.... I liken it to a 1970's "Abba" performance on crack at the Wisconsin Dells with a lot of T&A. Just because a performance offers a lot of boob, doesn't mean it can get away with sub par music and performances. I don't even want to give it 1 star but I can't write a review if I don't. I absolutely don't recommend spending the money, but if you love to laugh at boobs and bad choreography, knock yourself out. Thank goodness there was champaign to numb the pain. read more

What a great show!!! We were hesitant at first to purchase the dinner and show option, but hey, you only live once! ( I was also lucky to have a friend treat me!) so we purchased the Belle Époque option for 7pm. The dinner choices were nice! We were entertained by a lovely group playing live music while we dined and drank champagne. Looking around at the beautiful theatre and people watching are a great benefit to coming to dinner ;) could we have eaten better outside the theatre? We'll probably..... But the experience was definitely worth it! Our waiters were fantastic. It had been a long time since I was treated so well in a restaurant! So attentive and so many waiters. We both ate the duck pate and filet. Which were very good. The champagne flowed all night and the show began. And what a show it was! The girls were beautiful and guys were hot. They danced around and around and around for 2 hours. Not sure how they kept the energy level up! The show was actually more than I expected. The costumes were beautiful and the show was very tasteful. Just a wonderful experience. read more

We traveled to Paris in November. I purchased our tickets via Viator and will NEVER do business with them in the future. Our flight was delayed from the U.S. and we arrived in Paris 1.5 days late and were unable to make the show we had tickets for. While Viator did absolutely nothing to help us to use our expensive tickets on another night, Moulin Rouge did! We went directly there and found all employees at the front desk to be very helpful and nice. They let us use our tickets and sat us a table close to the stage. We weren't sure what to expect, but figured we were in Paris so we needed to go to this historical place. We were pleasantly surprised. The meal was very good. The show was entertaining and there was a good variety of routines. Overall it was a good experience and we were glad we went. Thank you to Moulin Rouge for your excellent customer service! While the dinner and show is at the higher range of the cost of entertainment, it was well worth it. read more
