Cafe de l"Opera Barcelona

Cafe de l'Opera Barcelona is a historic cafe on Barcelona's Las Ramblas. Situated opposite the Liceu Theatre, Cafe de l'Opera has a sumptuous modernist interior with neo-classical details, and offers a relaxed ambiance for enjoying Las Ramblas.

Cafe de l'Opera offers tapas, sandwiches, hot drinks and alcoholic beverages and is conveniently located halfway down Las Ramblas, with a terrace out on the boulevard itself.


The cafe dates back to the 18th Century when it started life as a tavern. During the 19th Century it was made into a chocolateria and decked out in Viennese furnishings, of which several mirrors remain.

At the end of the 1920s the cafe was given its current name, as well as a modernist make-over which it still sports today. The cafe is worth visiting for these period details, which make it the most attractive of the many cafes along Las Ramblas.
