Hi there-
We have tickets to see a ballet that starts at 7:30pm at the Opera Garnier. Any suggestions of places close by that maybe offer all day dining (for an early dinner) or late dining? Cafe Paix opens at 6:00, which feels like it’s cutting it a bit close, but maybe not?
Since most restaurants don't serve dinner before 7pm, I suggest you do like the Parisians, go to dinner after the ballet.
A ballet is about 1h30, at 9:30pm you are out of the Opera and ready to go to the restaurant to talk about the show during a good meal.
Unfortunately (fortunately) this one is 2 hours and 45 minutes. So we can do a late dinner but that feels late even for Parisians? The last reservation at Cafe Paix is 10:30, which feels like it’s cutting it close.
There are a few restaurants open until 2 a.m. in the area.
I lived in this area, but having left Paris for quite a few years there may be other forum members to give you up-to-date addresses.
Or you could ask your hotel for a recommendation
The Galeries Lafayette food emporium, across the street from the Opera Garnier, has many food stands with tables where you can sit down and eat.
