The doors of the Opera House and the wine lounge of the Main Foyer open 1.5 hours before the performance. Early opening for groups can be arranged upon request. Pre-performance refreshments will be laid out one hour before the start of the performance. Other refreshments sales will also open one hour before the performance.

The restaurant services are delivered by our catering partner Kanresta.

Locally sourced raw materials

The Opera Restaurant prefers Finnish local food and organic produce. Kanresta grow their own carrots and red beets. And few people know that the honey used on the roasted almonds and other delicacies produced by the Opera Restaurant comes from beehives at the Opera House itself.

This season has produced a full-bodied honey with hints of toffee that shows the taste of five-leaved ivy and linden, both of which grow abundantly around Töölönlahti bay.
