Virtuose is a fine dining restaurant nestled in the heart of the opera house, with views over the city of Liège and an atmosphere that draws you in from the very first moment.
Where 19th-century elegance meets contemporary cuisine, every visit is immersive, distinctive and unforgettable. With or without a ticket to the evening’s performance, what matters is being here — in the right place, at the right time.
Your expectations, your curiosity, your appetite
These are what inspire Chef Agron Billa, resident chef at Virtuose and head of the renowned Traiteur Goosse. Like a conductor bringing an orchestra together, he creates perfect harmony every evening: seasonal produce, expert craftsmanship, a close-knit team — and that special sensitivity inspired by each production on stage.
His menus are composed like musical scores, echoing the mood of the evening — sometimes bold, sometimes playful, always in tune with the moment. Virtuose is the only place where you can discover his cuisine outside a private event.
“Every dish leaves its mark. I compose flavours that tell a story.” — Chef Agron Billa
The heritage of the opera. Today’s inspiration.
The heritage of the opera. Today’s inspiration. Gold, velvet, a touch of sparkle.
The décor evokes the hushed elegance of the 19th century, balancing refinement with understated style.
The soundtrack is contemporary.
And on the plate — a thoughtful reinvention of the classics: French and Mediterranean cuisine, reimagined with precision and freedom.
Each table feels like a private box. The lighting is gentle, the city stretches out beyond the windows, and before you: a culinary story waiting to unfold.
A menu inspired by the stage. Lively, ever-changing.
Dinner at Virtuose unfolds in a series of courses, each one designed to reflect the spirit of the evening’s performance.
For every production, the chef and his team create a bespoke menu, shaped by the works on stage and reinvented as the season unfolds.
A culinary tribute to the opera, renewed each month.
A restaurant in the tempo of the theater.
