Lonely Planet review for El Café de la Ópera
Opposite the Teatro Real, this classic before-performance café has one unusual requirement for would-be waiters – they have to be able to sing opera. If you pass by here at most hours, it’s a quite, classic café and your attention will be caught by the décor (floral wallpaper and stainless-steel tables) as it’s rare that the waiters break into song until dinner time – then you’ll pay around €55 for a meal, which is not bad value if you don’t have tickets for the show across the road.
