Conveniently located on the third floor of the Lyric Opera House, the Florian Opera Bistro is a casual and chic European-style bistro with a new menu by Jewell Events Catering. Complete with a full bar and a wine list curated by Master Sommelier Alpana Singh, the Bistro is the perfect place to enjoy a light pre-performance meal, a glass of wine during intermission, or a post-curtain cocktail or dessert.
You’re welcome to pre-order beverages or food at the Bistro prior to curtain time and pick it up during intermission or after the performance. For matinee performances, the Bistro will be open beginning at 12p.m. and for an hour after the performance ends. For evening performances, the Bistro will have reservations available for a 5:30pm seating.
Reservations are now available in the Florian Opera Bistro for every seating. Please arrive within 15 minutes of your scheduled reservation to be guaranteed a table. Walk-ins are also available for all seatings on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Please note that the Florian Opera Bistro is open only to patrons who hold tickets for that day's performance. Entry to all restaurants is through the Lyric Opera House after presentation of tickets
