Opera Blanc Restaurant (Pacific Place)

Opera Blanc is a chic restaurant serving Italian and French food in Pacific Place. Owned by the same person behind Sopra, it offers a similar concept, with its open kitchen, elegant design, and careful service.

The prices are quite high, especially for the pizzas: On average, it will cost you Rp200,000 for one, and the most expensive, with Lobster, costs almost 1 million rupiah. A very interesting deal is to order a meter-long pizza for Rp450,000++ (50cm for Rp250,000++). It is so big that it will be enough for up to 8 persons.

I didn't try other items on the menu, but si! nce the Chef is Italian, I would advise you to stick with the Italian food.

Their pizza has a very thin crust, and it is made in front of you with fresh ingredients. It tastes authentic, but if I had to choose, I prefer the one in Luna Negra or Scusa. I shall come back to Opera Blanc soon though to try one of their more elaborate pizzas.

Here is a picture of the one we ordered (for 4 people):

Overall: Recommended if you come with a large group, then you can have one of their meter-long pizzas. Otherwise, it is overpriced. Drinks are not too expensive (if you stay away from the wine). You can enjoy them on the outside terrace, in comfortable sofas (small bintang=Rp30,000++). Concerning the atmosphere, I think the design could be improved, especially the dining room upstairs which is dull. It is crowded so far, with expats and executives working near Sudirman.
