Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament is a family dinner theater featuring staged medieval-style games, sword-fighting, and jousting. The first two Medieval Times-styled shows were developed in the late 1960s by Jose Montaner in Spain at Majorca and Benidorm. Montaner converted the barbecue restaurant on the family farm into an entertainment and food venue where actors portrayed 11th Century jousting of knights of northern Spain and southern France kingdoms of Aragon, Navarre, and Perelada (stories derived from Montaner's family history). Montaner claims to be a descendent of Charlemagne. Accounts indicated that Tino Brana, who was involved in the jousting scenes from the 1961 film El Cid, was involved in staging the jousts.

Today, Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament has 9 locations across the US. Because of its exciting and authentic dinners, Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament deserves to be one of the best dinner theaters in Los Angeles. You definitely shouldn't miss it when visiting Los Angeles.
