With a contemporary, modern Australian menu highlighting the finest locally sourced ingredients and complemented by impeccable service, the Lyrebird is the perfect place to start your evening at QPAC.
Delve into a special menu highlight showcasing the rich flavours of Italy with a selection of signature pasta dishes, curated by our Michelin-trained head chef, Salvatore Rizzato, from Rome, Italy. This unique collaboration skillfully blends tastes from his homeland with a Queensland inspired twist, expertly prepared by our passionate chefs at Lyrebird under his guidance.
Nestled alongside the vibrant Cascade Court, take in the anticipation of the upcoming night as you relax and enjoy the surroundings. Captivating guests, the Lyrebird is currently showcasing a curated collection of contemporary indigenous artwork by three acclaimed artists – Michael Nelson Jagamara, Gloria Petyarre and Joanne Currie Nalingu. Telling the story of QPAC’s location – an original meeting place for the local Indigenous population – and its connection to rivers, leaves and storms; these works entwine the Lyrebird with Brisbane’s heritage. The colour palette in the series of artworks reflects a distinctively Australian aesthetic, mirroring QPAC’s aspirations for the Lyrebird and its food.
The quintessential QPAC experience begins at the Lyrebird.
