Fish and seafood sharing plates near the opera, with Mediterranean ingredients and South American influences.
This entry is for Peixes Opéra at 4 rue Jacques Médecin. Peixes also has a Bonaparte branch, and the two addresses should be kept separate when checking menus, directions or reviews. The Opéra restaurant sits near the town hall and opera house, on the edge of the Old Town.
The kitchen gives fish and seafood a contemporary, sharing-plate format. The restaurant describes preparations such as ceviche, carpaccio, tartare and tataki, with Mediterranean and South American influences. Much of the menu involves raw fish, so check the current choice carefully if you prefer cooked dishes or need to avoid raw seafood.
Michelin describes the compact blue-and-white interior and independently identifies the Opéra branch. The official website publishes a separate food menu for each location, which is the most useful starting point for deciding what to order.
The restaurant's stated continuous opening does not guarantee that every dish is served throughout the afternoon. Michelin mentions a reduced afternoon selection and a no-bookings policy. The official website currently gives a 22:00 closing time, earlier than the time in Michelin's description; check directly if you are planning a late meal.
Highlights
- A seafood-led menu designed for sharing.
- A central location beside the Old Town and opera.
Good to know
- Many preparations use raw fish.
- Select the Opéra menu and address, rather than the Bonaparte branch.

BRA Score — aggregated online reviews
BRA score not calculated: insufficient verified source coverage.
Snapshot consulted on 2026-10-15
BRA-1.0 combines verified public ratings: Google 50%, TheFork 30%, Tripadvisor 20%. Ratings are converted to a ten-point scale and weights are renormalised over eligible sources. At least two platforms are required, each with at least 30 reviews and a combined total of 100 reviews. The result is rounded to one decimal place, with halves rounded up.
Review totals are platform counts, not necessarily unique people. Different source coverage limits comparisons between restaurants. This score does not represent a visit by our team or an award. Historical editorial ratings remain separate.
