More information on Cafe de l'Opera

This dignified, antique bar, just across from Théâtre de la Monnaie, is an ideal place for a drink before, after and even during opera. The café is well attended during performance breaks and a bell warns you when it is time to return. Situated in the centre of a busy shopping neighbourhood, this bar is also a great place to regain strength once you tire of shopping. There's a wide choice of excellent snacks, and during summer months, the large terrace is quite inviting. In fact it's a great spot to watch the many street artists on Place de la Monnaie who perform their tricks just in front of you while you dine.
