Loved almost all of it
Chat Noir was the second show I have seen at Lost Estate. The first one, Havana, was disappointing but as a lover of Montemartre and fascinated by the art culture I couldn't bear to miss Chat Noir. Firstly Lost Estate is an immersive show not a fine dining experience. I had the vegetarian option which was absolutely fine, heavy on the garlic - but we're in France! The decor was outstanding. My party all agreed on this and that we really could have been in 1890's Paris. That's what I paid for so very happy with this. The first part of the show was outstanding. The 'club owner' was brilliant as was the mime artist, the dancer, musicans and singer all excellent. I loved the absinthe dream. It was weird but its supposed to be. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the gratuitous strip tease and the incorrectly placed can can. Chat Noir did not feature strip and certainly not can can which was from Moulin Rouge, the club Chat Noir hated. To remain authentic I would have preferred the flea dance if a girl must take her clothes off to entertain. It would at least have been authentic. Lastly whilst I enjoyed the mini opera it seemed out of place. Shame the famous Chat Noir shadow puppets weren't included in the show, this would have been lovely and much better than a rendition of Carmen.

Didn't live up to expectations sadly
I wanted to love this, I truly did. I hadn't been to London for 13 years & persuaded my husband this would be worth the journey and expense of staying in London. Honestly I was so excited about it and bought VIP booth tickets. First impressions were good and the decor and lighting were lovely & atmospheric. The first act/section was great and I really enjoyed it. The food was lovely. My husband (tight /careful with money, Northener) was horrified by the wine prices - the cheapest bottle of red he could find for us to share was £40, although it was nice. The performance started well, but, I did find, as I think others have said, that the show deteriorated as time went on. The 2nd act honestly became a bit dull and reminded me of the dancing by Kate Bush in Wuthering Heights. Very arty and a bit pretentious. Act three, I'm afraid to say, had me becoming fairly bored. It was very camp, a bit am dram and self indulgent. In the end I was wishing it would just stop. It's a shame, because the actors/actresses are very talented, but I think maybe the script let them down a little. It did feel towards the end that we were at the local village hall watching an amateur production, although the actors/actresses did work really hard and give it their all. No disrespect to them. We did not like the forced audience participation (eg 'everyone stand up and sing,/shout this' as if it's an order). It felt very uncomfortable. That kind of thing really isn't to everyone's liking. Overall I enjoyed the night, but it didn't really live up to my expectations, sadly, and I left wishing I had not dragged my (bored) husband down to London for it with all the associated expense. One thing I would say is that others around us seemed to be enjoying it more, so maybe getting drunk before the show might be the key 😂. I only had half a bottle of wine because he wouldn't pay for any more drinks....

Car Crash Show
What a waste of time and money. The show was disjointed and completely lacking a story. The individual pieces clamped together by nothing were boring. The food was a complete car crash - and I mean car crash - the pate tasted awful as a started (really like game that been hung far too long), the coq au vin was an insult - it was an overcooked reheated skinless dry chicken supreme with a few baby onions and mushroom in a red wine sauce. The dessert was even worse - I completely dry pastry case that had incredibly sweet lemon curd squirted in it and topped with a couple of raspberries. Great shame as I have been to two previous shows and thought they were excellent - really excellent. I don’t know if the management has changed but this is unbelievably different to the other shows.

CHAT NOIR. - Immersive Cabaret Dining Experience in London: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does CHAT NOIR. - Immersive Cabaret Dining Experience in London cost?
+
Prices start at £147 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does CHAT NOIR. - Immersive Cabaret Dining Experience in London take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is CHAT NOIR. - Immersive Cabaret Dining Experience in London worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 37 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule CHAT NOIR. - Immersive Cabaret Dining Experience in London?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is CHAT NOIR. - Immersive Cabaret Dining Experience in London suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book CHAT NOIR. - Immersive Cabaret Dining Experience in London?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does CHAT NOIR. - Immersive Cabaret Dining Experience in London start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
