About

Lyrebird is QPAC’s signature restaurant, offering a refined dining experience with a contemporary Australian à la carte dinner menu, showcasing the finest locally sourced ingredients. The menu also features Italian-inspired dishes curated by our Michelin-trained head chef. High Tea is available prior to selected matinee performances, considered one of Brisbane’s best kept secrets. Located on the ground floor, Lyrebird is an indoor seated restaurant with table service, ideal for pre-show dining or a special occasion. We recommend allowing 90 minutes to dine. Bookings are recommended, with walk-ins welcome. Due to the nature of a performing arts venue, hours of operation may vary, please refer to website for opening hours.
