The gastronomic offer in Madrid is an absolute delirium: traditional taverns, delicious daily menus, lavish dinners, Michelin stars everywhere and… experiences that transcend the magic of the kitchens. So much so that they even become an immersive show. This is what happens with La cena criminal, a new format of gastronomic evening and interactive theater in which the diner must unravel the clues of a murder between one dish and the next. Several restaurants in Madrid are offering this experience and tickets are already on sale.
A corpse in the Louvre: who is the murderer of La Cena Criminal?
Attention, a corpse has been found in the Louvre! Crossing the door of the restaurant, we will travel from Madrid to Paris. An art historian has called a grand reception at the Louvre museum (indeed, we are the guests). Champagne is flowing on the tables, the diners are commenting and toasting and, suddenly, Madame La Voyante realizes that something doesn’t fit… Is that the real Mona Lisa? It looks like an imitation! The police must be called! And when the investigators appear on the scene… They discover more, much more: What’s that corpse doing on the floor? But what’s going on?
This is the starting point of The Criminal Dinner. A game of murder and mystery that unfolds with actors and the audience between courses. In addition, diners can choose to enjoy the show at their leisure while they dine; or, if they prefer, they can dive right in and actively participate, becoming part of the story as investigators or even suspects. That’s the charm of the experience. Everyone chooses the game mode.
Therefore, each evening is different and no event of The Criminal Dinner is the same as the previous one. For this reason, it is also a plan that invites you to live it in a group, with couples, friends, family…
