L’Opera Restaurant

Yangon


One of Yangon's most elegant restaurants, L’Opera is staffed by well-trained and smartly dressed waiters, but more important is the Italian owner and chef’s meticulous preparation. The outdoor garden seating is a bonus in good weather. Next to the bakery at the front of the property is the small cafe Il Fornaio.
