Restaurants and Bars

Your visit to the Royal Opera House is not complete without a visit to one of our many restaurants and bars. For most people, eating and drinking at the Royal Opera House is an essential part of the glamour and buzz of attending a performance. However, non-ticket holders can also book lunch or enjoy afternoon tea in the Amphitheatre Restaurant and, on sunny days, sit outside on the Amphitheatre Terrace to enjoy its spectacular views of the Piazza.

In addition to the Amphitheatre Restaurant and Bar, the Royal Opera House offers you the chance to experience the spectacular open spaces of the Paul Hamlyn Hall Champagne Bar and Balconies Restaurant and the traditional grandeur of the Crush Room. There are also exclusive opportunities for private dining in the Conservatory and private dining rooms.

You can use the navigation bar on the right to find out more about each restaurant, view menus and photographs, and book online.

Since September 2012, our Head Chef has been creating menus specifically for each performance to reflect running times and audience demand. Dishes may vary from those shown on this sample menu and prices are subject to change. See the feature on our website for details of the delicious dining options.
