Pro Tip

Pre-Performance Bites

If you’re catching a show at the deCoste Centre or Glasgow Square, these hidden gems are the perfect way to avoid the main street crowds. Several of our smaller bistros offer quick-service gourmet options that ensure you’ll get to your seat before the curtain rises without sacrificing quality.
