Opera Restaurant

Autumn 2020: always order refreshments in advance

In the exceptional situation of autumn 2020, we are taking the safety of our audience and employees very seriously. To ensure adequate social distancing measures are practiced in the foyers, all refreshments will be laid out on named tables. Please order your refreshments in good time through our online store, by telephone, at a customer service desk, or via the mobile app.

A small selection of refreshments will be available at the service counters in the foyer, but these must be enjoyed while seated. All visitors are guaranteed a seat.  

The Opera House doors open 1.5 hours before a performance, and pre-performance refreshments will be laid out on tables one hour before the performance starts. Service counters will also open one hour before the performance. Please note that the wine lounge of the Main Foyer will be closed in autumn 2020.

Please only visit us when you are feeling well! You can cancel your ticket and refreshments up to seven hours before the start of the performance.

Loving local produce

The Opera Restaurant prefers Finnish local food and organic produce. Our catering partner Kanresta grow their own carrots and red beets.

Honey from our own hives

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.

“I really like the Opera House as a building. The wonderful view of Töölönlahti bay always lifts your spirits as you arrive early for a cup of coffee.”
