Eating to be at your lodge at 7:20 sharp does push your evening meal early. Beware the possibility of closed kitchens if you roll out of the opera at 11:40 hungry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A smart solution would be to eat out as close to the opera as possible. Due to the nature of the neighbourhood, I would recommend reserving, especially for Thursday, Friday or Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you feel like treating yourselves without venturing too far, you could always eat at Coco, the newly named and renovated \u2018\u2019restaurant de l\u2019Op\u00e9ra\u2019.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18627\" style=\"width: 1511px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18627\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18627\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/coco-restaurant-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1501\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/coco-restaurant-.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/coco-restaurant--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/coco-restaurant--768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/coco-restaurant--1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/coco-restaurant--816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1501px) 100vw, 1501px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-18627\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Coco restaurant, photo credit coco-paris.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The d\u00e9cor, Gatsby-esque evokes the roaring twenties and is the brainchild of designer, Corinne Sachot.
