Opera Delices - Lille

Not sure if it was suspicious or not but suddenly after taking my order for a draught beer (cheaper option, compared to bottled), a different member of staff came out to say that only bottled (and more expensive) Leffe beer was available after all. €9 for a baguette. Hmmm...

We we went here for a very late lunch. The kind lady behind the counter took time to explain the choices available. He had a Croque Monsieur and I chose the tuna and tomato salad. We were both very happy with our food. Excellent service too.

Opera Delice is a place with nice smiling waiters, dellliccious cakes... we love to go there with my wife and we are relaxing there after shopping... if you will visit there one day, please try their "hot chocolate and cake" as u see on the picture...

Such a treat to be here! Best coffee ever and delicious high quality pastries and for an incredibly reasonable price. I think it's the cheapest coffee you can get in Lille. And, the best as well.Very friendly hosts, they'll make you feel at home. Don't miss the two floors where you can indulge in the coziness of Lille and observe the rhythm to which this city beats on. Being here is like being at the pounding heart if the city of Lille. Next visit I'll start the day from Opera Délices, no doubt about it. I finally found the city's heart! Enjoy!!!

This establishment was located right in the city centre. It looked very nice on the outside so we decided to go in. There was a lot of seating so we sat down once we had ordered our food from the counter. The staff were very friendly and our food was delivered to us very quickly. The sandwiches were really nice as were the pasta and the waffles. Judging by this I'm sure the other food (crêpes, cakes), is very nice too.
