Opéra, French restaurant in Bourran, Rodez, France
Opéra is a French restaurant in the Bourran neighborhood that merges classical French cooking with Venetian touches through menus that shift with the seasons. Chef Vasco Baldisserotto shapes each menu around ingredients sourced from nearby producers.
The restaurant began operating in late 2022 on Rue d'Athènes, marking a fresh direction for this address. Its predecessor, Les Jardins de l'Acropolis, had defined the space for many years before.
The dining here centers on how food is presented as a performance, with selections that shift based on what local producers bring to market each day.
Service runs Wednesday through Sunday with lunch from noon to 2:00 PM and dinner from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM. It is wise to book ahead since the three dining rooms fill quickly.
The space is divided into three separate dining rooms holding around 30 seats together, which keeps the feeling personal rather than grand. This layout lets the team focus attention on each table.
