Lido de Paris, Paris

I had booked the Service Premier, which is very costly, even for the good food supplied. The table was a minature and the bench did not go round the table, thus my wife and I were falling from the edges. To make matters worse, the table is only 10 cms higher than the table infront of it. Thus during the show those who paid very much less had a good view of the show, while we, who paid up to 50% more could only see the heads of those in front of us. I had visited Le Lido many time and the current show is of a lower standard than the previous ones.

Be carefull before you go, how much you pay, and the position of your seat

Dress Code: Le Lido claim to have a strict dress code and that they do not accept jeans or joggers. Half the audience was in jeans and joggers. Why bother about a dress code when all that matters is to pack the people like sardines?

Se encuentra en la mejor zona de París, perfecto para una noche con cena y champan. familia o parejas. traje no es obligatorio pero, saco y zapatos de vestir son necesarios para entrar. Damas con saco o chalina esta bien. No tenis ni vaqueros. Te encuentras con Damas y caballeros vestidos de etiqueta y aunque no es lo deseable . entre mejor te presentes mejor te tratan. El show "Bonheur" es único y vale la pena lo que cuesta. La cena es de 4 tiempos y todas las mesas tienen buena visibilidad aunque las del centro son las mejores.El servicio es de primera en todo. De este show derivan luego parcialidades a otros lugares del mundo como las Vegas, New York etc. Ir a París y no ir al Lido es como no estar en la Torre Eifffel . Los boletos puedes comprarlos directamente en el Club, Excepto en fin de semana o festivos debes hacerlo previo,está cerca del Arco del triunfo y no dudes en pagar la foto del recuerdo.

We were at Lido on new year`s eve 2007.The show was great, but the night was wasted because our camera with all the pictures of honeymoon was stolen while we were dancing.
It is not the value of the camera but the value of the pictures that was so important for us.
The personnel staff was not helpful,they were only interested to get rid of our complaints.The lido of Paris is not a safe place.Keep your money with you and don`t leave items on your tables.

Dress Code: And they have their own "taxi system" ! To make 1 km 25 euros per person ! We asked for taxi and they sent us to their own system,this is not fair.We are completeley unsatisfied with Lido personnel and managers for their incompetence and their extremely low customer satisfaction.

The Lido's production of "C'EST MAGIQUE" was a dramatic reworking of the classic Parisian cabaret show, with eye-popping special effects and new themes, both nostalgic and contemporary, including aerial and aquatic ballets using more than 60,000 gallons of water.

The show, the most expensive in Europe at the time, used 80 performers, $4 million in costumes, and a $2 million lighting design with lasers.
There was even an ice rink that magically appeared and disappeared.
...and the legendary topless Bluebell Girls were still there.

Now that the celebrated chef Paul Bocuse is a consultant, the food has become even better.

You can book ONLINE @ http://www.conciergerie.com and a ticket voucher will be issued at the time you make your reservations.

Dress Code: Formal attire is requested.
Jacket and tie is appreciated.
No casual clothes such as jeans, tennis shoes, or sportswear.

Well well well, Lido is the show you can not miss. Since i planned to visit Paris I wanted to go to Moulin Rouge or Lido.

I chose Lido because Moulin Rouge is in a district called Pigalle and it didnt seem to be a safe place. Anyhow Lido is a wonderful burlesque show, the singer, dancers, costumes. They are really good artists.

There are 2 shows one at 9 p.m. it includes dinner and a second one at 11:00 it includes a half bottle of champagne or 1 drink.

I went at 11:00. Cameras aren't allowed for obvious reasons but they don't check cell phones with cameras.

Lido is 100% recommendable

Dress Code: When I bought the tour to Europe I was told that I would need a cocktail dress for Lido, the truth is that I saw a man with jeans.

What I think it isnt allowed is sneakers or clothes that couldnt make you look formal.

The difference for those of you choosing between Crazy Horse and lido, the lido production is outstanding. There are at least a hundred girls. A live horse comes on stage, a lifesize elephant. Every act is totally different, many costumes. It is also topless, and the girls do look good. But they are not as close up as crazyhorse, and not as beautiful. But the act is so impressive that it doesnt matter. An iceskating rink appears on the floor, with figureskater, waterfalls emerge as well. There are very cute men in the production at the lido too. Waterfountains spring up from the stage. Lido has a dinner show, or you can just buy half a bottle of champagne, and it is the same price, about $120 per person. Crazy Horse is a small theatre, looks like fifty seats. all very close to the stage. The lido is a theatre, probably can seat at least 300 people. I believe there is dancing there at the dinner show. Just down the block there is a great Gay discoteca, club, that is so much fun. Sometimes they only let in gay men. It is called the queen. Across the street is a coffee shop/bar/cafe. You will see it, its black and purple. Its very good and great for people watching.

Dress Code: My friend was going to wear jeans, but I convinced him not to. We were very dressed and he thanked me, and said he would have been uncomfortable in jeans. It was a Saturday night. Maybe during the week it is more casual.

Lido is competing for the first place of cabarets with Moulin Rouge, but it's definitely No.1 on Champs Elysées.

The place is a bit more "easy going" then the spots on Pigalle, there is also a children's menu for instance :)

Prices range from 80-120 EUR (show only), Dinner shows cost 140-200 EUR (kids menu for 30 EUR, show not appropriate for children under 4 :).

Dress Code: More elegant then casual, but no tie required.
