A restaurant with its own stage
Established in 1971, Alhambra occupies the ground floor of the White House Building, just outside Nishi-Nippori Station. Its pale façade, red sign and rounded red entrance canopy make it easy to recognise. Inside the performance room, red upholstered chairs and cloth-covered dining tables face a raised stage backed by burgundy curtains. Stone-effect arches frame the room. This is seated dining with a live performance; the performers and programme change from one booking to another. About the restaurant · Photographs
The restaurant also has quieter dining areas. For this experience, reserve a place for the live show rather than selecting the food-only bar option. El Fuego, the adjoining sister establishment, has its own opening arrangements. Booking options
What to eat
The Paella Course costs ¥4,800 per person, with orders for two or more. It includes Iberian ham and cured meats, salad, chicken stewed with porcini, bread, seafood paella and dessert. The Flamenco Course, ¥5,800 per person, also for two or more, includes Galician-style octopus and potatoes and a beef-shank stew. A separate ¥4,800 A Course is listed for solo diners. These are tax-inclusive food prices; the name “Flamenco Course” does not establish that a show ticket is included. Official menu
