Paris: Dinner at Ginger Restaurant & Show at Crazy Horse

When it comes to evening entertainment in Paris, the combination of a fine dining experience followed by a world-famous cabaret show is pretty hard to beat. This particular package, which pairs a delicious Southeast Asian dinner at Ginger with a ticket to Crazy Horse’s “Totally Crazy” show, promises a glamorous yet intimate night out. As someone who’s seen a lot of the Paris nightlife scene, I can tell you this experience offers some unique highlights—particularly if you’re into spectacular visuals, refined cuisine, and a bit of cabaret glamour.

What I really like about this experience is the seamless flow of the evening—you’re not left wandering to find dinner after the show or rushing to your seats. Plus, the inclusion of champagne and good-quality food elevates the whole outing. On the flip side, it’s worth mentioning that it’s a couple of hours and might feel a bit rushed if you prefer a more relaxed pace or want to explore other Parisian sights afterward. This experience tends to suit travelers who love shows, enjoy tasting different cuisines, and appreciate well-curated evenings without needing to plan every detail themselves.

If you’re looking for a luxurious yet practical night out, with a good balance of entertainment and fine food, this experience could really suit you. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a night to indulge in something memorable, it’s a solid pick—especially if you’re curious about Paris cabaret beyond the usual tourist spots.

An In-Depth Look at the Experience

The Dinner at Ginger Restaurant

Starting your evening at Ginger sets a promising tone. Located conveniently in Ile-de-France, this restaurant specializes in refined Southeast Asian cuisine. The menu is a highlight here, with dishes like baby spinach with pinion, parmesan & truffle oil, tuna tartar & avocado, and chicken fried spring rolls—all promising a flavorful start. We loved the way the food is served promptly, with many reviews praising the quick service and helpful staff. One reviewer even noted, “the food came out so quick” and was “delicious,” which is exactly what you want when you’re about to head into an evening of entertainment.

The main courses offer a nice variety—sauteed beef with black Angus onions and snow peas, grilled chicken with lemongrass, and tuna tataki—so whether you’re into tender meat or lighter fish dishes, there’s likely something to suit your taste. The sides—rice, noodles, or broccoli—are straightforward but complement the mains well. The desserts are a good way to end the meal with options like lemon sorbet, mochi ice, and coconut milk tapioca. Many reviews point out the quality of the food, with one customer noting that the dinner alone was “definitely worth it,” especially if you’d prefer not to dine out after the show.

The meal is served with wine, adding a touch of elegance. The overall price of $240 includes the whole package—dinner, show, champagne, and drinks—which many see as excellent value, especially considering the quality and location.

The Show at Crazy Horse

Once you finish your meal, you’re ushered into the legendary Crazy Horse cabaret. The venue itself is a Paris icon—intimate, stylish, and packed with history. The “Totally Crazy” show features sensual dancers, stunning visual effects, and legendary acts. As noted by many reviewers, the performance is “beautiful,” “amazing,” and “breathtaking,” often standing apart from similar shows elsewhere.

The show runs for about an hour, and your ticket includes half a bottle of Crazy Horse’s own champagne (“Cuvée Crazy”) or two other drinks. Many reviewers appreciated the generous drinks service—you arrive, your champagne is already at your seat, and it’s a nice touch that adds to the VIP feel.

The dancers are often described as talented, glamorous, and very sensual, with some reviews mentioning their captivating performances making the Las Vegas shows seem less impressive in comparison. The visual effects—light, movement, and choreography—are thoughtfully executed, making it clear why Crazy Horse remains a Parisian institution.

Timing and Logistics

The show timings vary throughout the week, with multiple options to fit your schedule. For example, on weekdays, you can choose an 8 pm or 10:30 pm show, with dinner scheduled accordingly. On Saturdays, there’s a 7 pm, 9:30 pm, and even a 11:45 pm option, which is great if you’re a night owl.

The experience lasts roughly 3 hours, which includes the meal, the show, and the drinks. While the small group limit (up to 10 people) makes it more intimate and personalized, it also means you’ll want to book early, especially during busy seasons.

The booking process is flexible—you can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, giving some peace of mind if your plans change unexpectedly. Note that no hotel pickup or drop-off is included, so you’ll need to arrange your own transportation.
