Paris: Dinner at Ginger Restaurant & Show at Crazy Horse
Paris can feel like two cities at once. By day it’s cafés and museums. At night, it turns into cabaret glamour with dinner planned around the show. If you want a very parisian evening that is easy to execute, this combo is a smart way to do it.
I especially like how the evening is built around timing, not stress. You’ll either start with dinner at Ginger and then head to Crazy Horse, or do the reverse, so you spend less time figuring out what comes next. The other big win for me is the drinks setup, you get a half bottle of Crazy Horse champagne (or two other drinks) plus wine with dinner, which makes the whole night feel like one smooth experience instead of two separate errands.
One thing to watch: this is an adult cabaret. You can’t bring shorts, you can’t record video or take photos inside, and it is not suitable for kids under 16. If you’re hoping for a flexible, walk-in style evening, this format is more structured than that.
Key things to know before you go

- Totally Crazy cabaret with iconic acts: the show is designed for maximum spectacle and sensual performance.
- Pre-show or post-show dinner: Ginger happens before or after, depending on your Crazy Horse start time.
- Half bottle champagne at the show: you get Cuvée Crazy per person, already part of the seating experience.
- 3-course Southeast Asian menu: Ginger dinner is not just filler food, it’s a full meal with dessert.
- Small group size (up to 10): the setup feels controlled, not chaotic.
- Strict photo and recording rules: plan on enjoying with your eyes only.
Crazy Horse and Ginger in one smooth Paris night

This is the kind of night that saves you mental energy. You get dinner, drinks, and entry to Crazy Horse in one package, with a clear plan for when to eat and when to watch. That matters in Paris, because evenings can scatter quickly if you start freewheeling.
At Ginger, you’re eating Southeast Asian food that feels polished and refined, not casual bar food. Then at Crazy Horse, you’re switching gears to one of the most famous cabarets in Paris, with legendary choreography and big visual effects. It’s a change of pace that works well if you want a complete night out without turning it into a logistics puzzle.
Also, this show is easy to pair with your day. If you have energy after sightseeing, the later options let you stretch the evening into a true Paris night.

How the dinner and show timing works

The dinner timing is tied to your Crazy Horse show slot. The package includes entry to the show, plus champagne, and Ginger dinner is scheduled either before or after.
Here are the options you can expect:
Monday through Friday
- For the 8pm show, dinner is at 9:45pm
- For the 10:30pm show, dinner is at 8pm
Saturday
- For the 7pm show, dinner is at 9pm
- For the 9:30pm show, dinner is at 7:30pm
- For the 11:45pm show, dinner is at 9:30pm
So the key question for you is simple: do you prefer to eat early and then watch, or watch first and then eat late? Either works, and the included drinks make both sequences feel like one continuous night.
If you like eating earlier, pick a slot where dinner comes first. If you’re more of a night owl and want the cabaret to kick off the evening, choose the shows that place dinner after.
Ginger dinner, what you’ll actually eat

Ginger is the meal part of the evening, and it’s built as a full 3-course dinner with choices. You’ll get starters, mains, sides, and dessert, plus water, coffee, and wine with dinner.
Here’s what’s on the menu.
Starters
- Baby spinach leaves with pine nuts, parmesan, and truffle infused oil
- Tuna tartar & avocado
- Chicken fried spring rolls
Main courses
- Sautéed beef with black Angus onions, sesame, and snow peas
- Grilled chicken with lemongrass
- Tuna tataki, sesame sauce
Sides
- Rice
- Fried noodles
- Broccoli
Desserts
- Lemon sorbet & crystallized ginger
- Mochi ice (3 pieces: vanilla, chocolate, mango, raspberry-lychee)
- Coconut milk tapioca with mango
- Soft chocolate cake
What I like about this spread is that it’s varied without feeling random. There’s something for seafood lovers, chicken fans, and beef eaters. The dessert list also gives you more than one kind of sweet, from sorbet to chocolate cake to mochi.
One practical tip: the dinner is served per person with wine, so if you want a more relaxed pace, don’t rush the early courses. The show experience is better when you’re settled.
Champagne and drinks, what the package includes

This night is built around alcohol in a way that feels intentional, not an afterthought. At Crazy Horse, you get a half bottle of champagne (Cuvée Crazy) per person. If you’d rather not do champagne, you can get two other drinks per person instead.
With your Ginger dinner, you also get:
- Water
- Coffee
- Wine with dinner
That’s a meaningful value piece. You’re not just paying for entry to a famous venue, you’re also paying for a dinner experience plus a built-in bar component that would cost real money on your own.
If you like the idea of enjoying the show with champagne at your seat, this package is tailor-made for you.
Crazy Horse Totally Crazy, what to expect from the show
Crazy Horse is all about performance as visual design. The evening is known for sensual dancers, legendary acts, and stunning visual effects. The show name you’ll see with this option is Totally Crazy.
One detail that helps your expectations: the show numbers can be very culturally recognizable if you have watched famous pop references. For example, if you’ve seen Beyoncé’s Partition music video, some elements may feel familiar. That doesn’t ruin the experience, but it can change how surprised you feel.
Another thing I’d plan for is the choreography and lighting. One highlight repeatedly praised is the light design effects, which is a big part of why the show looks so sharp and cinematic.
It’s also a night with rules. You cannot take photos or record video inside. If that’s your normal habit, shift your mindset before you go. The experience is designed to be remembered, not documented.

Getting between Ginger and Crazy Horse with minimal hassle

This package keeps you in a rhythm. Ginger is close enough to Crazy Horse that the trip feels quick. In practice, it’s a short walk between the two venues.
Because there is no hotel pickup or drop-off, you’ll need to handle getting there on your own. That means you’ll want a simple plan for how you reach the meeting point and then return after.
Meeting point can vary depending on which option you book, so check your specific details before the day of. Once you arrive, staff will guide you into the show flow.
Rules and practical tips that make the night smoother

Cabaret nights are more controlled than you might expect. The rules here matter for comfort and timing.
You should know:
- Shorts are not allowed
- No video recording inside
- No photography inside
- Not suitable for children under 16
Also, the package is set up as a small group limited to 10 participants. That can make the experience feel less rushed, but it also means everyone is moving together. I recommend keeping your pace steady and not trying to wander off.
If you’re bringing a date or doing this as a birthday night, the champagne-at-seat setup helps the moment feel special right away. You are not waiting around with empty hands.
And if you’re sensitive to crowds, small group format plus a clear plan can be a relief. You’ll spend less time herding your own schedule.
Price and value, is $241 per person worth it
At about $241 per person, you’re paying for a stack of things that often cost separately in Paris: a ticket to Crazy Horse, a full dinner with wine, and champagne during the show.
Here’s the value logic I use:
- Ticket plus champagne: Crazy Horse entry is bundled with champagne at your seat, which is a premium experience element.
- Full 3-course dinner at Ginger: not a snack. You get starters, mains, sides, dessert, plus water and coffee.
- Wine included: dinner includes wine, which is typically an add-on when you’re booking dinner and show separately.
- No hotel transfer: you do handle your own transport, which explains part of the pricing structure.
So the question is less whether you can find a cheaper ticket. You can. The real question is whether you want the evening to feel complete, with a dinner stop that’s scheduled and drinks handled for you. If that’s your goal, the package price makes sense because it bundles the most expensive parts of the night.
Who this is best for, and who should skip it
This is best for you if:
- You want a glamorous Paris night that runs on a plan
- You like cabaret performances and big-stage visuals
- You prefer pre-arranged dinner and drinks over hunting for a restaurant at night
- You’re okay following venue rules on photos and recording
It may not be a fit if:
- You want casual attire. Shorts are not allowed, and the vibe is performance-focused.
- You travel with kids under 16. The experience is not suitable for them.
- You need lots of flexibility once you arrive. This is structured, and that’s part of the value.
Wheelchair accessibility is available, so if mobility is a concern, this option can work. You’ll still want to confirm specifics with the operator using your booking details.
Should you book this Crazy Horse and Ginger night?
If you want one high-impact evening in Paris without building a complicated schedule, I think this is a strong pick. The combination of Crazy Horse entry plus champagne and a full Ginger 3-course dinner with wine makes it feel like you bought a night, not a ticket.
Book it if you’re excited by the idea of pairing a proper meal with an iconic show, and you’re comfortable with the photography and recording rules. Choose a show time based on whether you want dinner first or dinner after, because that timing choice really shapes the feel of your evening.
If your priority is the cheapest entertainment, you can do that elsewhere. But if your priority is a classic Paris night that’s organized and celebratory, this one is worth your shortlist.
