Café Opera — Restaurant in Nijmegen

I got rudely shoved by a staff member during a music event today.

I was standing outside with my friends because I couldn't handle people shoving me around inside the café to see the band, and one of the male staff servers with long hair tied into a ponytail shoved me against my friend way harder than necessary to get me out of the way, while everyone else around us agreed that there was more than enough space for him to walk without having to bump anyone to the side. No apology or even a single look back.. but hey! At least he mumbled a lame "excuse me" before rudely pushing me into my poor friend. So all is good, right? Right?

But whatever, I hope the money I spent here contributes to a boxing class where he'll be able to release this pent up aggression. Sounds alot better than shoving random customers who weren't even in the way, am I right? Anyway go here if you want, the guy's probably great when he's not shoving people...

Incredible venue for food. Location is super central, the food is really good, particularly the hamburger, the falafel, and risotto, and the portions are very filling. The waiters (Tibbe in our case) are all extremely friendly and considerate and the chef (Spanish speaking) was so accommodating with respect to allergies and dietary restrictions In fact he stated that it was a challenge to design a dish that is delicious, nutritious and allergen free. Highly recommended, by far my favorite spot...

Wouldn’t recommend for more than a drink. Risotto with shrimps AND turkish sausage already raised some flags but I gave it a try. It had nothing to do with a risotto. It was some unsalted rice with melted cheese and 5 shrimps( not entirely cleaned either). Completely tasteless. We also had some Nachos libre Opera style… I thought nachos couldn’t be bad but I was wrong.

Apart from that, service was good and atmosphere...
