A small restaurant with plenty of good seats for viewing the flamenco show. Performances are usually on Saturdays and have inlcuded guitarist singer Marija Temo with dancer Ana Menendez, guitarist Michael Pérez with dancer Micaela Moreno and guitarist Torcuato Zamora with dancer Natalia Monteleón. Telephone for more info/reservations. To my knowledge, this is the ONLY flamenco show in Baltimore! Andalucía de Rockville 12300 Wilkins Ave, Rockville MDCall (301)770-1880.Spanish restaurant. Hard to find, but well worth the effort...located in an industrial district. The food and service is very good. Owned and operated by María Serrano, this is an intimate (read small) restaurant--so you can't hide when one of the flamenco dancers invites you onstage! The flamenco show is on Thursdays about 8:00pm. Members of Ena Camargo's ¡Viva Flamenco! Spanish Dance Company--with dancer Micaela Moreno featured during the summer months, accompanied by guitarist Michael Pérez and occasionally Richard Marlow. El Bosque 50 Pigeon Hill Dr in Sterling, VACall (703)421-3390.Spanish restaurant. All the way out there...near Dulles Airport. Haven't been there yet, but guitarist Richard Marlow, who performs there the first Friday of the month with dancer Joana del Río, tells me it's well decorated. Don't know about the food yet, but I'll let you know. Andalucía de Bethesda 4931 Elm St Bethesda MD(301) 907-0052Spanish restaurant. Shows occasionally. Past performers include dancers Joana del Río, Natalia Monteleón, Ana Martinez, Susana Lorenzo; guitarists Torcuato Zamora, Marija Temo, Paco de Málaga, Jesus Serrano; singers Manolo Leiva and Marija Temo. Please note that this Andalucía is a completely separate restaurant from the one in Rockville. (Closest Metro stop: Bethesda) Casablanca Restaurant 1504 King St Alexandria VACall (703)549-6464Moroccan restaurant. Hearty food served in generous portions. Between $15-$20 a person for dinner including the show. Flamenco shows on Fridays at 8pm. Dancer Sara accompanied by recorded music. Incidentally, this is just 4 or 5 blocks away from La Costa del Sol which also has a flamenco show. (Closest Metro stop: King St) La Costa del Sol 710 King St Old Town Alexandria(703)836-4000Spanish restaurant. Flamenco Thursdays. Dancer Sara Candela and friend accompanied by guitarist Richard Marlow. (Closest Metro stop: King St) La Bodega 2039 Wilson Blvd Arlington(703)522-6622Sorry, CLOSED After more than 3 months of regulary presenting flamenco shows, La Bodega is history!!! Mediterranean cuisine. Flamenco shows were on Fridays and Saturdays. Dancer Joana del Río was accompanied by guitarist Tomás or Torcuato Zamora. (Closest Metro stop: Court House) El Bodegón 1637 R St NW(202) 667-1710Sorry, CLOSED After more than thirty years of regularly presenting flamenco shows, El Bodegón has closed down as of Tuesday March 18, 1997. It's been renamed the Townhouse Tavern, a bar. The neon sign that is turned on every night still says 'Live Flamenco Show' This is of course misleading...there is no show no more. Taberna del Alabardero 1776 I St NW(202) 429-2200Spanish restaurant. Shows occasionally. Around March and October, the Taberna brings a flamenco cuadro down to DC to perform for usually about 5 or 6 nights as part of a prix fixe dinner. Some of the previously invited artists: La Repompa, Contratiempo with guitarist Vicente Cortés(!), Paco de Málaga with singer Tomás de San Julian, Manolo Leiva with guitarist/singer Marija Temo. This is a very expensive restaurant so don't say I didn't warn you, but the high quality flamenco show usually justifies the expense! (Closest Metro stop: Farragut West) Jaleo 480 7th St NW Washington DC(202) 628-7949Spanish tapas bar. Brief Sevillanas shows on Wednesday nights. (Closest Metro stop: Archives/Navy Memorial) Toro Tapas in ShirlingtonNew restaurant. The food is OK. (I ordered some mejillones --mussels in tomato sauce--and got a measly four pieces drizzled in a bland tomato sauce. I can't remember what else I ordered...it was just wasn't a memorable dining experience.) The background recorded music is a confusing blend of salsa, American rock and cumbia.Bottom line: go for the flamenco show, not for the food or ambience. Occasional flamenco shows on weekends with guitarist Richard Marlow accompanying dancers Lola Zalamea (all the way from Pennsylvania!) and Susana Lorenzo . Located in Shirlington (south Arlington, VA) at 4053 S 28th St. Call (703)379-0502. Mobay Café 2437 18th St NW(202)745-1002Across the street from Cities on 18th St. Go upstairs to a very cozy lounge with a view. Very laid back atmosphere. Drinks only (last time I was there a Corona was $5!) No food sorry. Flamenco shows Saturdays late (around 10:30pm-ish to 1am). Guitarist Richard Marlow accompanies dancer Sara Candela.
