I visited for the first time about 2 years ago but have been wanting to back after the wonderful time that I had.
We went with a group and everything was paid for so I'm not sure about the over all value what I do know is that everything that came out of the kitchen was delicious, it seemed as if the food was almost never ending, the music was jamming, beautiful ladies in gorgeous costumes + very handsome talented male dancers, culminated in one fantastic spectacle...manifique!
During the time that I was at Pau Brasil, the venue seemed a little on the small side (more normal for french standards)
There was a male MC/host, who could ssss-ang, a female vocalist, about 4 or 5 female dancers and 3 male dancers, so at most there were only about 7 to 8 people on stage at one time but given their space and the good use of it, the showed really filled up the room and I really enjoyed the more intimate setting. I also really liked the crowd participation.
For now I can only imagine how the show has evolved over the years but I bet now is an even better time to visit because I have a feeling that they probably found a cute way to include this years Olympic games.
Obrigado Pau Brasil!
Side note: From what I've heard and read about other more touristy cabaret/spectacles like Moulin Rouge, etc I know that our group spent a fraction of the cost and got much better food and over all experience (based on my research, without visiting other places as to not waste my money) read more
