Food & Drink

Enhance your opera experience with a taste of culinary elegance!

Our interval buffets

For our regular evening performances, our interval buffets are also open upon admission. This means you can enjoy a drink or a snack before the performance begins.

If you would like to reserve a table with drinks and food for the interval, you can of course do so at the buffet of your choice or via the online reservation tool before the performance begins. This will save you waiting time during the interval and give you more time to enjoy it.

You will find our interval buffets in the Gustav Mahler Hall (during the time around the Vienna Opera Ball, the buffet will be in the annex of the Gustav Mahler Hall), Schwind Foyer, Marble Hall, by the gallery, in the box foyer and the parterre foyer.

Like our intermission buffets, the Café-Bar-Aperitivo is run by our catering partner Gerstner.
