Opera is invited to your table at Le Bel Canto.

The opportunity for you to have dinner with Verdi, Mozart, Puccini, Rossini… You’ll either hate it or you’ll love it.
Dinner & show, without drinks: 85 € fixed price.
Under the category named “cabaret”, the Paris tourist office recommends the Bel Canto as one of the best live venues for a night out in Paris: a unique show combining opera and French haute cuisine.
The restaurant is located on the banks of the Seine in the 4th arrondissement. Magnificent view from the dining room of Notre-Dame la Seine, île Saint-Louis. Inside, the decor with warm red and gold colors, is dedicated to opera.
After all the eating and drinking you’ll be ready for a nice long walk: No Worries Paris, your best friend.
