Act One — An Extremely Limited Pop-Up Dining Experience
Step into Act One, an extremely limited pop-up restaurant inside the character-filled walls of The Old Lyric. Offered on only a few select nights each month, this intimate dining experience brings together thoughtful cooking, warm hospitality and a touch of theatre — the kind that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into the opening scene of something special.
Each service features a three-course set menu crafted especially for Act One — a relaxed, European-leaning selection of dishes shaped by the seasons. Expect a shared entrée to open the meal, followed by individually plated mains and desserts that feel generous, flavourful and perfect for a night out at The Old Lyric.

Begin with a shared entrée, then enjoy individually plated main and dessert — a distinct shift from our usual Market Eating House style, offering something a little more refined while still warm and approachable.BYO Welcome — Bring the Good Bottles
Act One is the perfect excuse to dig into your cellar. Bring along that special bottle you’ve been saving — corkage is included, and we encourage guests to make the most of this BYO-only experience.Unlicensed Pop-Up
Alcohol cannot be purchased on the night, so please BYO if you’d like to enjoy a drink with your meal.
Dietary Requirements
We can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and simple requests such as nut-free with prior notice. Because Act One is a very small, one-night-only style service, we aren’t able to provide multiple-layered dietary adjustments for a single guest. Thanks for understanding.

With extremely limited seating, we encourage guests to book early. To help us seat your group together, please make your full table reservation in one booking, as separate bookings may not be able to be combined.
